Clinic appointment with Mr Russo yesterday......


.........has reassured me a little.

When I showed him the problem with righty he assumed I'd had an infection there. I told him not. He looked puzzled.

I told him that the issue seemed to have occurred after drains were removed. He explained that when the drains come out, any air trapped in the breast is sucked out too.

Mr Russo said that my skin will stretch and the deformity will go in time. He then asked me to stand infront of him so he could look properly - he looked perturbed (bit alarming) and again asked me if I'd had any infection there. I repeated that I hadn't and reminded him I was only a little over three weeks post surgery and that my incisions have healed very well.

He then tortured me a bit (he is a titty sadist!!); forcing his fingers either side of righty's scar (in the middle where the problem is) he pinched painfully and said there was a lot of internal scarring and that was the problem. Pulling downwards he squeezed/massaged the internal scarring and said "can you feel that?".

My internal response was: "you mean the searing agony that feels like you are ripping my breast in two??? erm..... YES of course I can feel it!!"

That's what I thought and yet I said: "yes".

He said I could manipulate the internal scarring in that way myself and it would help.

What he did was very painful and I was concerned he might have ripped my scar open and that I'd be purple/yellow/green with bruising. When I checked, however, I wasn't bleeding or bruised and he has, infact, made a positive difference and the suture line has flattened out a little.

It is painful, but I have been trying to massage the internal scar tissue near the indentation on my right breast. My fingers are - metaphorically - crossed that my doing so regularly will resolve the deformity issue.

The mastopexy scars (on the inside edge of both breasts) are becoming quite raised so I have resumed firm massage of all my scars.

Mr Russo wants to see me in a couple of months so he can see the final result and take some 'after photos' for his records.

  1. Just finished reading all of your blog posts from the start. I'm booked in for a tummy tuck and breast uplift with implants with Mr Russo too on the 10th of April.

    I'm so nervous about it, but your blog posts have massively helped to calm me down about it.

    I'm just wondering how the hell Im going to do everything when I wont be able to use my arms or core..

    I hope things improve for your righty, I'm sure it will be! They look great so far and the scars are fading really nicely.

  2. Hi all! I read that plastic surgery technique is available for various physical issues such as small or extra large breast size, unwanted hair, huge fat collection in different parts of body, unattractive facial appearance. Here, you can consider breast enlargement or breast implant procedure, if you are facing the issue of small breast size and if you are struggling with back or muscles pain due to extra large breast size, then breast reduction surgical procedure is there for you.
