86. 1 year post-op PBM pictures

hi everyone! i finally got around to taking some pictures. these are one year post operation of my double mastectomy. since i moved, the quality and lighting of the pictures does not look the same as all my other pictures because i could not achieve the same lighting. bummer. the lighting also makes the foobs look a little off however, what you are seeing with my nipples being different heights is what i see in the mirror.  the little bruise (bovi-burn) hasn't disappeared much on my left breast.

when looking at these pictures, keep in mind that my scars are only 4 months old as my final reconstruction surgery was december 6, 2010. i'm not overly excited with the way my scars are looking so far but i gues this is because of how i heal. i was really hoping they would look thinner than they do.

overall, i am very pleased with my results. i am looking forward to the day i have a little bit of cash to get some nice bras and a sexy swimsuit. i love my new cleavage...and also not having to wear a bra!!!

    You look fantastic Rachel. The scars will lessen with time & if you want them evened up, it can be done. Overall, I'd be happy with them.

    You look wonderful - I'm less than two weeks until my implant swap out and can't wait to see the results - can I ask what size implants you ended up with and what cup size it resulted in - also how tall you are - just curious about your frame and how it all turned otu as I am having a little trouble and wondering if I will be happy with the results - good sized but not huge! I'm 5'8 and about 148-150 pounds and will do 600 - 650 implants depending on what he decides when I'm under! Thanks!

    Hey Uppercase Addict.

    My implants are 350 on one side and 400 on the other. I am 5'6 1/2 and weigh 120 lbs. Your implants sound about right for you. I would not have minded going a bit bigger now that I have put on 10 lbs since starting college, but I also like the athletic look so I am happy with what I got too:)

    Wow Rach! You look awesome! I especially love the last pic. I forget what you had said before. Did you have a skin and nipple sparing mastectomy?
