5 weeks post-op ,left side larger than right

[braveboy]

I find that my left nipple has alot more dense stuff behind it and my right side seems like there is a holow hole behind it.Don't know why if it is scar tissue on the one side and maybe too much was taken out of the other.

[braveboy]

2 months post op AND VERY LITTLE HANGE IN RESULTS STILL LEFT SIDE LARGER THAN RIGHT ,BUT EVEN MORE ANNOYING IS THIS DARN CREASE I HAVE BELOW THE RIGHT NIPPLE. STILL MASSAGING BUT NOY AS MUCH,NO CIRCLE LIKE TISSUE OR SCAR AROUND NIPPLE.HAS ANYONE ELSE  HAVE ANY REASE LIKE ISSUES ??

[braveboy]

AT ABOUT 8.5 WEEKS POST OP I STARTED TO WEAR MY COMPRESSION VEST AT BED TIME ONCE AGAIN AND I FIND THAT WHEN I TAKE IT OFF THE CREASE BELOW MY RIGHT NIPPLE IS ALMOST GONE BUT QUICKLY APPEARS A SHORT TIME WITH OUT THE VEST ON. ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS??

[PeterBateman]

if it goes away with the vest, then i say its swelling, that will take time to go away...mine is slightly better a week later now, so who knows eh?

[braveboy]

SO YOUR TELLING ME THEIR STILL MIGHT BE HOPE,I WAS SORT OF THINKING ALONG THE SAME AS YOU.

[PeterBateman]

yep, the faint hope clause...for us both

[braveboy]

i find that both of my nipples are still sore when i touch them,is this normal what does this mean.

[braveboy]

9 weeks post-op chest still looks like a mess,started sleeping with vest again.I find that my nipple area gets more sore as the day moves on.i really hope this crease i have fills in and there is no doubt that my left is alot larger and fuller than the right side,i think not enough was taken out.i can't believe that it is swallon that much more.when how long till the swelling goes down if that is what it is cause i can't tell if it's fat,gland or swallon.anyone with any insight???

[braveboy]

both nipples are very sore today,somedays not so sore,what does this mean.how do you tell the difference between fat,gland and tissue??a little confused..

[braveboy]

Does any one know if gland is painful when you push on it,can't figure out if i have glad ,scar tissue or something .I have 1 nipple a lot fuller and don't know why when i push on it the stuff behind it moves around slightly when pressed against my ribs???

[sergeantpepper]

braveboy I am in almost the exact same situation as you are. One side for me is perfect the other is still puffy. I can feel something moving around when I press it against my ribs. the side that is still puffy also is painful to push. I'm trying to figure out what it is too. I would love to avoid a revision!

11 week post-op and i don't have good news to report about my results.Saw my ps and this is my status my right side that has a crease is caused br scar tissue adhereing to my skin this is a rare complication but i do have it.I was told to massage my chest aggresively by pulling out my skin trying to pull the scar and the skin apart ,this is very painful 90% of the time this will correct the poblem if not it can be corrected with surgery.My left side is still alot larger than the right aand if it doesn't get smaller it looks like a revision will happen.I am very dissapponted with my results and the thought of going through recovery all over again with a revision is making me sick.No body knows about my surgery other than my wife,so i guess i will not be having any kind of a summer this year ,cancel all my vacation plans and pool parties.THIS BITES

[PeterBateman]

HEY, keep massaging 3 times a day...try some ibuprofen an hour before you start to pull the skin away from that area.  i am i guess 12.5 weeks now, and i will say my is extremely marginally better this last few days...i still have the tubes of hard scar tissue, and swelling under left nip, over right nip, and im still not happy with results...im again at the point where when my nips are cold, i look good (a lot better than pre op), but when theyre not cold, im still a disaster.  my hope lies in the 3-12 month period.  which is totally gay, but whatever...when did lista say he'd do a revision if necessary?

[braveboy]

He said after the year is up.

[PeterBateman]

gee thats great, only 9 more months to go...i dont understand honestly...me and you both said we wanted it TIGHT, all out, no hesitation, you see fat or gland, take it out, we want upper done too bla bla bla...how can we both be so off?  i am still holding out for my opinion on lista, cuz he is well respected and apparently good at what he does, nice guy etc, but today my left nip is swollen and pushed out like i have a sandwich underneath it...what the f
