In case you do not know all the workings of live journal. If you click on the images in my posts they will take you to a larger isolated version of the image. If you click on that image it will take you to an even bigger image so you can scrutinize the result even more.

On this day I removed the micropore and left if off for 3 hours or so before I took the picture. I wanted to see what it looked like when the skin and blood flow settled.

My nipples look a bit raw because it was my first day of serious working (photographer) and they got some serious chafing. And there I thought they were ready for a normal life already *tsk tsk*

Saw my surgeon on this day and he said:

He thinks the thin line scars makes him happy.
He does not like doing nipple grafting but is happy with the result.
He does not like the fact that the scars are non symmetrical but the folds of the breasts were at different heights and thus the result.
He would like to do some revision but we must wait until the scars heal because scars contract and most often sort out dog ears et all.
He says the dents will go away.
He gave the go ahead to train.
I trained chest on the same day. Horrid experience. It was sore, uncomfortable but my trainer says that's how rehab is and not to panic.

irritating little ingrown hairs defacing the incisions!

The left nipple seems prettier I suppose but has absolutely no feeling. It was scabless very quickly (by week 4).
The right hand nipple had a scab for six weeks, is less round and has some feeling. When I say some I mean I know when something touches it....barely.

I took these pictures in lighting which shows the dents in the chest. I also slightly darkened it in Photoshop to show them. The dents are visible in certain conditions. They dont really bother me but I will see if working out solves the problem.

I still have to hear what the surgeon says about it. He did mention filling it with lipo from somewhere else but I am over it. I want to just get on with my life.

I had just taken off the micropore. Four weeks.

day before surgery.
