@ Kingboob > haha - no it was just a random icon i clicked on to let me post pics as it wont let ya post a blank message.
Day 34 Post-op Well so far i'm really pleased with my results... Theres still quite a bit of scar tissue there, its difficult to see clearly from the pics ive taken and theres a square shaped indentation over/around my right nipple. In fact, it would be fair to say the areas directly under and immediately around both nipples is soft, tender to touch and a little bit concave compared to the overall chest. However i can still feel the hard donut-like shape of the scar tissue around the nipples. I could be wrong and i think i've said this before but i think the logic behind this is that directly under the nipple is where he removed the gland with
excision and the donut like scar tissue is where hes obviously used
lipo. Therefore he would have had to break up the fat around that area and that would have been more aggressive that cutting the gland away. If anyone wants to shoot me down on that one.. go right ahead... its just my theory haha!
On a move positive note the scars have healed fine, a little creasing goes on and comes and goes on a daily basis so i'm not making any final judgements yet... although i would say i'm much happier now than i was day 20 for example. I'm just letting my body run its course and theres always the tenderness of the nipple area to remind me that my body is still healing everyday. I'm still massaging that area and will continue to do so for the next couple of months probably
If things stay the way they are now then i have to declare myself as reasonably happy with the results. As Kingboob said a couple of posts back 100% perfection is probably never achievable... whether thats because of the actual results or the mental image you have in your head of the perfect chest you expect to see post-op. I feel very lucky though that my chest could stay the way it is and i could walk away happy from this part of my life feeling like i've bettered myself by getting the op done.... thats what it boils down to i guess.. if you can get a result that betters the person you are then you HAVE to consider that a success. I know that my surgery has benefited me.. i'm more confident, can wear and now actually shop for fitted clothes...i feel liberated working out now because i know that i can achieve a normal looking body at the end and i've even been to the swimmers with my children and opened my front door without a top on without fear of people stirring or me worrying if they've caught a glimpse of my chest..
Well i think you can tell that i'm quite pleased as things stand so i wont ramble on...
I'll probably leave until month 2-3 to update again as i've pretty much summed it up in this post. I'll be knocking around the boards so if anyone needs any advice or have any questions about Karidis or my healing process then feel free to drop me a personal message or post on this thread and i'll try my best to give you an answer.
If anything changes drastically with my chest i'll be back with some pics otherwise hope everyone has a good new year and enjoys a gyno-free new year or gets the damn op done and joins us in our new-found happiness...
