OK, I have an incision line completely around each areola. That little scar line is slowly going away but can still be seen at close range. Since it's right on the areola border it's not very noticeable unless you are up close looking for it. I also still have some loose skin that's easier seen when I'm sitting because it creates a little "fold" especially under my left nipple area. You can see that in the photo. That loose skin, I'm told, will continue to contract for as much as a year or more after my surgery. So far so good. Honestly, after a month post op the loose skin was much saggier and I was worried that it would be permanent, but it's been contracting little by little and it's not too bad now. I'm also working out and slowly building some muscle mass to replace some of the fat/gland mass that was there previously. Because of the way that's working for me, I HIGHLY recommend doing some diet (if overweight) along with exercise and working out post op (starting slowly, of course).
My chest is never going to be perfect, but considering what I looked like less than a year ago, it's dang close. Those before/after pics far exceed my original desired result, which was to be able to go to a pool and take my shirt off without ridicule. Now women smile at me but for a different reason.
The surgery was performed by Steven A. Siciliano, MD in Hickory, NC.
