Maybe we can help you. There are videos I believe, we have on our site about the procedure you've just had done. Let me see if I can find them. It would be Dr. Jay Harness who's videos we would have on this procedure. He serves on our medical advisory board and is a wonderful human being as well as an amazing breast surgeon out of Orange County at St. Joe's.
Where do you live? If you live here in Az. I can help you with a fabulous doctor. If not, tell me where you live and let's see if we can find someone else for you to see to get a second opinion.
Let me see if I can get Dr. Harness to come on to post and give you some questions to ask your doctor.
Please don't get discouraged. I know it's easy to say and much harder to do, as you're looking at your breasts and not seeing what you thought or hoped you would.
Sounds like you are very disappointed and rightfully so. I just don't know about the recovery time and if things will change over time. Sometimes, swelling will cause things to not look the way they ultimately will look. It can take a while for things to calm down. You've had a lot of trauma to the area. Also, the scar can look much worse then it will when you've had some time to heal. I'm not making excuses or discounting how you feel. I know what you're feeling is real and painful. Please know that.
You've had major surgery and a very traumatic surgery, I might add. You are a very brave woman and clearly have great courage. For you to come to our site to even ask the question and share your disappointment is courageous.
Let's see what we can do to help you.
I'm going to have our Community manager, Tina, help you. As well as our videographer, Todd. They should know what videos we've captured and other women who've had the same procedure. We need to give you women, resources and doctors. That's what we do at EmpowHer. We need to do this for you.
