Question
Hi Lookinup,
You have so much knowledge about different types of surgical techniques so that is why I directed my question to you. Anyone else, please feel free to jump right in!!
Do all just a guess) is that since you are not perfectly symmetrical to begin with, and since the doctors are usually right or left handed (rather than ambidextrous), and since the internal cuts won't be absolutely identical and you are probably singlehanded as well(hence your body may have more muscle on one side than the other), not to mention that different areas may heal at differing rates, all (or some) of these factors may be why you are feeling it more on one side than the other.


Answer
Thank you Good Lookinup for your reply. I did have the anchor incision but also had a prior lift with the anchor incision too. I think PS pretty much followed the previous lines and extended them under the arms a bit to get the side stuff too.
I never thought about the handedness of the doctor. I have been worried that the right side was sewn tighter perhaps. Every day it is a tiny bit better so I know it will all go away eventually. It is so weird having one side feel like it is going to fall off and the other side pretty calm.
I am still confused about how this internal suspension works. (even though it has been 'splained!!) If the sutures are over the top of the breast, and I can feel them in a perfect arc from the cleavage area to almost armpit level, where is the hammock? To me a hammock would be at the bottom. Is the extra tissue on top or on the bottom?
Also, if these internal suture dissolve, what keeps to tissue attaching to each other? Have they fused together by then so that is how they stay shaped? I was told the sutures are attached to the chest wall. I wish I could see pictures of how this works.
Thanks again for your thoughts. You are always so helpful, sweet and funny too! It is very appreciated!!
I do plan on posting photos soon. These breasts have not moved an inch since surgery!!! It will be interesting to see long term if they will stay like this. Right now they seem to defy gravity!! : )


Answer
I am 11 months post op (a regular anchor incision)...and I'm still defying gravity, too! LOL...keep looking sideways to see if they're 'lookindown'...but they're still 'lookinup'!
