I'm a little more than 10 weeks post exchange and not only still in a significant amount of pain but my results are looking worse every day :( Right side already bottomed out, nipples are pointing in different directions and so much rippling. I told my PS my concerns and he said nothing could be done about the rippling, my nipples were like that because that's how they were prior to BC (really?!! I think I would have remembered that!) but he could lift the one side. He doesn't even acknowledge that I say a I'm hurting. Not being happy with my PS anyway I went for a second opinion. The new PS wants to redo the bottomed out side which would fix the nipples. He also wants to place a thick alloderm in the upper poles and then do fat grafting. He wants me in extensive PT because I shouldn't be in so much pain still. Amazing how different two doctors can be! I'm checking into insurance coverage and I think I'm going to go for it. Feel a lot of dread for another surgery but I'm just not happy. Wish me luck! :)

    Just scheduled my revision surgery for October 20th. I'm so nervous! I just started to feel better and feel significantly less pain and here we go again. But I have to have it done this year because I have met my deductible for insurance so it will be 100% covered. 

    My question is, what is the recovery like? (I explained what I'm having done in the pervious post) Thanks in advance!
