Thought I was done with Plastice Surgeon

I am having a little revision done to my left breast. Thought I would be done with everything, but the way my radiated side scared down it makes my left outer edge of my breast a little flatter and when I wear tight shirts (cuz I like to wear them with my new boobies), it makes it look smaller then the right. Its a quick fix, figured I better get it done now since I have met my deductable and do not plan on meeting it next year. So the day before Thanksgiving I go in to get it fixed. Thought I was just being picky but Dr said he could see the difference too so I guess I'm justified in doing it.

Hope it went well. I still need tattoo. See my surgeon this week. I hope to be done as well.
