Mary Jo, after the followup from the revision surgery, my plastic surgeon saw me once and then said just said to just drop on by if I happen to be in the neighborhood. I dropped by once and then never did after that. I feel a little funny because i never did get the FINAL procedure which would be the tattoo. Did you get the tattoo?
And how are your breasts looking now that they are settled in? For me, one breast is like 1 cm lower then the other with no bra. How symetrical are yours? My dr said he could fix that, but I think most women with natural breasts have one that is lower then the other. Don't you think so too?
