This blog is a personal account of my breast surgery. I am writing it as a journal for my own benefit and in the hope that it might inform others who are considering a breast uplift (mastopexy), breast augmentation (implants) or both. It will be an honest depiction of my choice to have this cosmetic procedure, my thoughts in the weeks proceeding my operation(s), my experience of the surgery and my post-op recovery. Pre and post operation photos are included.

I'm seeing the nurse later today.
The dressings, and possibly the steri-strips, will be removed and I will get my first look at what my naked breasts look like post augmentation.
After the mastopexy I was very excited about this appointment, and for the full reveal of my surgically enhanced breasts. My experience of total horror at what I saw, on that occasion, has tempered any excitement I might have had today [for the gory details see here].
I recall being in a lot more pain/discomfort once the dressings were removed last time. Some of that - I'm sure - was psychosomatic, actually seeing the lacerations across my boobies was nothing short of shocking; some was due to the skin and suture lines being made sore by the process of removing the dressings and steri-strips (ouchie); and some was - I guess - that the dressings had been providing some support.
I hope I am better prepared for what I might see today. I also hope I will have a better idea of what the issue with the suture line on righty might be.
I'll update - with photos - later.
Wish me luck.
