surgery done by Dr.Lista

[PeterBateman]

I'm back, had revision yesterday.  Presently wearing the vest again, and sore to touch on both sides again.  I'll be showering in a bit, getting a first glimpse and removing the padding underneath.  I'm drinking and drinking fluids, but hardly any pissing...I know it cuz of the anesthetic.

I asked the nurse how much was removed, and she said 50 cc of 'tissue' taken from each side...I don't know if thats as opposed to 'fat', or if theyre the same thing.

I don't have to go see him today, but I go next week.

The new clinic is nice, what a difference from before.

hey all done ,at least for now(lol).hopefully you will not need a third surgery,do you thhink the addressed your concerns and did he go through the same incisions.keep us posted

[PeterBateman]

i put on my 997 underworks shirt and then my vest on top...it provides a barrier and is a bit snugger now.

as far as looks, i am not sure...i had one part in my upper left area near my armpit that he did remove a bit for me, even though he said it was mostly skin...i still have a large mass under left nip i just found this morning when i looked/squeezed, so im not happy about this - this is what i think was causing the left to protrude more in the first place...

im sure theres swelling, so i guess i have to wait a bit and see.

same incisions.

i really hope theres not even a thought of needing a third, that would be f'ing ridiculous.

hows yours going, you need a third???

Good luck Peter, hope everything turns out well this time 

[braveboy]

definitely will need thrid,crease still there but not as deep and left side still has more sagging.don't know to wait for fall or push for it asap.

get it done....fawk that sucks.  i hope i dont need a third...i never imagined i would need even 2 to get rid of my case (a lot less severe than some on this site)

i hope if i did though, it would be covered by him...

are you gonna post pics?  a few are wondering what youre situation is...

[braveboy]

hey my progress realy hasn't changed much,i don't know what to do.I do have pictures but still waiting for this rease to disappear before i post any pictures.

[PeterBateman]

it hasnt changed since before the second surgery, or hasnt changed since your results after your second surgery?

when did you start massaging after the second surgery?

[braveboy]

the dr didn't tell me to message the second time around and when i asked he said if i want to what ever that means,i am messaging only my left side with more sag in it.The crease was gone right after the second surgery but slowly with time it has been getting more noticable. i think the fat that was injected is slowly being absorbed by my body.it is better than before revision but still very noticable and the dr did say that he would have to probaly do it again the question is when should i get it done.should i wait and see how my body totally heals and maybe it might fix itself which i highly dought or do i do it now.MRD has a simular result as me he calls it concavity and i call it a crease mine is alot deeper than his. he did post a picture take a look

[PeterBateman]

ya i see the dr. on wednesday i think...i will ask him then about massage, but for now im just doing it lightly...it doesnt hurt, its just sensitive in a few spots...

its been a month about right for you?

i know it sucks to wait, but maybe give it 3 months total.  I think this is way more the realistic number of months to see your final post op results..none of this bs one year crap.

Maybe booking to see him now though would be a good thing, cuz youre probably looking at a few weeks anyways, then to book another surgery would be another 6 weeks probably...that would bring you to 3 months, and since he even thought you'd need a third, might as well get the ball rolling.

I saw the pic of MRD you mentioned...that would suck to have that i know what youre saying...

ill post some pics next week for my revision surgery.  im hoping for some improvements still....ridiculous eh?

[braveboy]

my revision was feb 15 ,so 2 months ago

[PeterBateman]

ya if youre not happy and its 2 months, and you know dr. lista said right off that a third would be necessary, get the ball moving is my opinion...im on day 4 post op and i can hardly take it (the post op in general), let alone 2 months and not satisfied...

[PeterBateman]

one week post op visit today. 

got stitches taken out, and dr. lista said i had fluid on left side...he stuck a needle in (great feeling) and removed what looked like a tiny amount.

he said he removed quite a lot of 'tissue' as opposed to fat during the revision, and was very happy with the results when the surgery was completed that day...he says i am quite swollen now, (even though i told him i didnt feel swollen) so he said expect the final results to be a lot flatter in time.

because of the needle today, i have to go back next week.

i can start massaging now (started lightly yesterday), and im not sure if im gonna get arnica gel or just use vitamin E gel or soap in the shower to massage it...

started having yellowish bruising moreso on the left side the past day or so, some on right side.  only a few slightly sore spots on right side, nothing really on left side. 

ive been walking on treadmill daily for between 1.5 and 2 hours...im gonna increase to fast walking this week, and light weights for legs in a few, if not sooner

hi pete,i also had the needle but nothing came out i still have the little mark.it sounds like your revision has addressed your concerns.do you find that your a lot more mobile this time around?
