Cosmetic surgery???

[Marilyn]

Haven't had a boob job, but had a lump removed, and the surgeon planned to go through the edge of the nipple to reduce scarring. The lump was in the right edge of my right breast, so I suggested that he take a direct route under my arm instead. I wasn't worried about a scar. Well, I'm sharing this because the surgery was done in March of this year, and the scar is still red and tender. I think this area is more sensitive than even the edge of the nipple. If they will do your surgery through the belly button or the nipple, I'd suggest you go that route. I've had two lapriscopes through the belly button, and they healed very quickly.

By the way, I'm naturally a good B cup and don't plan an enhancement, but if you and your husband want it, I'd go for it. Not sure about a D or DD though. My mother was a D, and they were very heavy. She had grooves in her shoulders from the straps. My grandmother was 4'11" and a DDD. She suffered due to their size. She died before breast reduction was possible, but she wanted to have some of hers removed. Somehow, the gene skipped me, and actually I'm glad. My husband says more than a handful is a waste . Both my daughters are C's which is about right.

i've had surgery scars that were tender and red too so i always always always used neosporin with the pain reliever even after the stitches closed up and vitamin e oil- i am very pale skinned (red head) so i always tried to keep my scars from being as noticeable as i could. my hubby says more than a mouthful is a waste but then he wants me to go D or DD....men!!! My mil is 4'9 ans she is very petite but very curvaceous-DD she wants to have hers reduced also because they have started to make her back hurt but i know she won't do it because she just isn't into that type of thing. she is 51 years old and is gorgeous-like a little pocket venus-girl she still wears a kini to the beach-i've never worn a bikini in my life!!! she be rocking the beach in her swimming suit-me and my mom are so jealous...she is ALWAYS put together....even when she's cleaning house or mowing the yard she looks good! BTW the doc is putting it through the nipple-said it would be about three stitches on each one and he only goes under the pec muscle...he also said there might be drains if need be.....i want to get them so bad but now we have to get my hubby a truck so i don't have to drive him 6 hours down south for him to get on the heliport down south and have to drive down ther amnd pick him up also.....i am not a big fan of driving in strange places.

I have red-head type skin, too. Maybe that's why this scar is still tender. I've had lots of surgeries, and this is the longest it has taken for a scar to fade, but my bra rubs this one, too, so that's probably part of the problem. Will try the vitamin E.

Hope this all works out, for you!!

My mom had a boob job & they went in through her arm pit. Hers were soooooo swollen for a few weeks after. They were HUGE! She wanted a C & it's about 5 years later & they are a DD still. She loves them though. I still remember the next morning she was still drugged up & talking crazy! It was so funny! She said something to the effect of "they made me take out my earrings or they weren't going to let me play softball!" hahaha! So funny!

I want to get a tummy tuck & boob lift once I have my last baby. I have 1 now & want 1 more. I'm so scared though. Not about the pain or the surgery, but about going "under" & not coming back!
