Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I saw your pictures and they look really good other than the puckering which, I can attest will heal flat after awhile. I did not have that with my breast lift because I had a different method of lift and for some reason the benelli lift seems to cause the pucker effect more than the traditional vertical cut, however, with my other surgery, the mini tummy tuck I had only 7 months ago, it was extremely puckery at first and I was so upset about it. My PS kept sayin that they puckering was just because the incision was smaller than a traditional one and that would make it look better later. I was upset for the first 3 months but now the scar is just thin and flat. It is amazing how much things can change. I would not stress on it, and it seems your happy with the lift itself so just give it time. Your really lucky you seem to have a substantial amount of breast tissue too. I was not so lucky in that department as I am just about a Full A cup now, but that is ok, considering I was in the beggining not even a double A cup. I think I fluffed up allot after I switched from free weights and heavy weights to my bowflex type weightlifting. I feel much better about my breasts now. I can even fit into some B cups yet, I am still pretty skinny. Are you using mederma on your scars? I used it on my breast scars, and skipped it on my tummy tuck and frankly I think they both are about the same.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hey jenna, Thank you so much for the list. I wish this site would work out a get together for allt he explanted ladies and ones to be explanted. I think it woul dbe fun to be around all the women who are supportive and have gone through the same hell together. When do you plan on posing new update pictures? Are you feeling better about the puckering you were experiencing? I sure hope so. Take care, > > > > Hey lady, how are you doing?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Jenna, When did you start using the neosporin scar sheets? I am wondering when I might start using them. I'm only two weeks post surgery. I'm glad to hear that you are smoothing out. I still look like en Bobbie but I'm just trying to be patient. Melinda Re: Jenna Hi , i have mentioned that before as well. It would be nice to plan some sort of get together with everyone it is just hard because everyone is from so many diff. cities! My puckering is getting better day by day. I have heard so many ladies say that by the 4th month it will look the best. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. I am exactly 1 month now. I will post the Shutterfly account with some new pics today to show you the progress. I have been using Maderma for my scars and those silica neosporin scar strips as well. I won't see any progress with that for at least a month so we will see. I posted on the other site to you as well. I wish I could give you a big HUG!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 HI Melinda, Isn't it so hard to be patient with this.I hope things smooth out all the way. it is gross looking. I started the strips this past monday, so...almost at 4 weeks post. You have to make sure you have no open wounds or fresh raw skin. I would try it when you heal up a bit, I have heard they work nicely. And some have questioned the fact that they have silicone in it. It has not affected me at all. Just like a bandaid. > > > > > > > > Hey lady, how are you doing? I am gearing up to see dr kolb > > again > > > and > > > > hopefully set my appointment.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Okay, I realize that this is going to sound really perverted but I think Jenna's breasts look fabulous. I had my explant at the same time and I don't look like that! And, yes, I know everybody's different, and I had the " T " lift and yadda yadda yadda but Jenna, you should be thrilled. Did everyone else look that good only a month after? I'm not nearly as natural looking, my nipples are still pretty flat. She looks better in the after photos that the implanted ones. > > > > > > > > > > Hey lady, how are you doing?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Well said, Moll. Re: Jenna There is nothing perverted about admiring the physical body-- the natural physical body. I admire both male and female forms, although I am very happily married and very heterosexual. We are God's creations, after all....and nothing wrong with admiring God's creations.;-)> > > > > >> > > > > > Hey lady, how are you doing?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I don't know where everyone lives, but if we're trying to figure out a central location, I'm in New Jersey, and don't mind taking a long drive to meet up with folks. Would love to meet up with everyone. Is there any type of formal organization for explanted women? Maybe we can formalize this one day and have a convention!! -- In , " Jenna " <jgalatis@c...> wrote: > > Hi , i have mentioned that before as well.
