After a year on the boards, here's my pics.

Also, how do I put them in my signature so people can click on it??

Looking good Dude!

As nukem2k5 mentioned, at the top of the Page, there is a feature called 'Profile'. In your Profile there is a spot where you can add text for your Signature. Type this in the Sig box:

{url=http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rcbrown23/album?.dir=/9896
}Pics{/url}

When you type that in, use these '[]' brackets instead of these '{}' brackets. Let me know if you have any probs okay....

Hey Brown

I just got a weird cold shiver looking at your pics.
Both your before and 2 weeks post-op pics look so similar to mine. one of the closest cases to mine ive seen on these boards so far.

congrats on the op dude, looks awesome. I really dont wanna put any negatives on your mind, and you dont even need to take this as a warning, its just an anecdote. My post-op pics looked very similar, and at 2,3 and even at 4 weeks my nips were totally flat and I was stoked. Since about 4-5 weeks post, theyve developed a ton of hard scarrring, reddened and become very puffy and very sore, and are now looking far from hot @ 8.5 weeks post-op. Anyway, hopefully that will be one difference between our cases (that yours heals without any hitches)

just wanted to know how old you are ? (23 im guessing from the username?)

And why did you have to wait 1 year ? was that due to $$ or to bermants advice, or your original ps or what ?

anyway, great results champ

peaceout

Hey brown,

Man, I hate stories like that.

Did you ever go back to that first PS and say - What the f^ck?

If so, what did he say?
If not, why not?

He's giving me my money back...well, half of it. He's refunding the surgeons fee, which was around $2000.

Soprano...Sorry to hear about the scar tissue. I know it's a possibility, but somehow I have a feeling it's going to work out just fine for me. I asked Bermant about it and he says that as long as I take it easy and not strain myself, it won't be an issue. I do have plenty of firm tissue around my entire peck, but it is already dissapating, and I haven't even started massaging yet. Things are looking good...Finally. I waited a year for money issues, among other things.

P.S. I'm 25.

just wondering\

Money was an issue. The main reason is because it was winter time, and I just procrastinated. I hate having to call up a PS office and do all the crap that comes along with it (tell people what the problem is, talk about it, etc.) I kept telling myself I would call and make a couple appointments for consultations...but I kept putting it off. Next week, next week...

Now I regret it, of course. If I would have gotten around to it just a couple months earlier, I'd be out on the boat right now.  Better late than never.


Also, your scar tissue story sounds a little off from the rest. Between week 4-5 is pretty late for it to develope...usually it's week 3, 4 at the latest. Also if they're red and itchy and what not, you may want to ask your doctor what's up.

Anyway, if it is just scar tissue, you'd be a prime candidate for cortisone shots. Get them early, and it's a really good chance that the scar tissue would be gone within 2-3 weeks after the shots. Possibly as early as 10 days.

Good luck.

cheers dude

My scar tissue appeared at about 4-5 weeks, but I wore my vest 24-7 for 4 weeks, before going 12/7 for the next 3 so maybe it was just keeping the inevitable at bay,until I did remove the vest - who knows.

already seen my surgeon about them, and he said at 8 weeks post, its too early to tell what the body will do and how it will be in 6 months, and to just wait for 6 months (which will put me at 8 months post) before he gives any shots or more extremely, does a scar revision...

Do you think there could be any detriment getting shots into 8 month old scar tissue, rather than getting shots into ripe few-weeks-old scar tissue ?
could I be facing a less successful cortsion-shot outcome if I wait till then (as he wants to see how it all evovles naturally) , or is it much the same thing either way.... in your opinion , or based on what you know of course??

thanks champ

Great results.
