re: My tummy tuck and breast revision surgery thread

Hey sorry if you posted this already, but what exactly did you get done to your boobs? Just implants or a lift as well? As of right now I am a 34DDD but im breastfeeding, pre pregnancy I was a 34DD. I want a reduction, lift, and implants (so I can have a perky look). I'm think probably a high c cup.


Just wondering because I heard the scars from a reduction/lift are worse than when you just get implants.


Thanks!

yep I got the lift and implants. The scars are worse because they have to do an anchor shaped incision when doing a lift as opposed to just an one incision under boob/under arm, or around your nipple with just getting implants

I might have asked this, but what do you cover your scars with when tanning??

I need to start going soon cause we leave for Hawaii in like 2.5 weeks but I am scared to wreck something, lol

yep my surgeon told me too cover my scars if I go tanning for at least the first year

Do you keep clothes over them? Or if I were to cut a strip of like, first aid tape to just cover the scars would that work??

I just HATE tan lines, lol

yep the first aid tape will work! I usually have silicon strips on when I go but I haven't been in a while. I need to go back though

My silicone strips say not to wear them in tanning beds?

How is your healing coming?? I am finally not swelling like crazy by the end of the day. I get a little bit, but not bad.

hmm I've never read that on mine. When hubby use to put them on me he always covered them with the gauze tape to keep them on.

Healing is going great I hardly ever get swollen anymore or not that I notice.
