Did I mention.... I hate the look of my left breast???????????I am so confused on what to do.
Talk to my doctor about my disappointment or just forget about it. It is just a boob right? Having one breast that looks a bit different than the other is really no big deal. It does not define who I am as a person! I am feeling much better today. I still have the nerve damage but my Lyrica takes care of that pain. My incisions look great. I guess smoking did have some effect on my healing. After having a minor setback last month, I am now 2 1/2 weeks clean from smoking again. I think this time is the last time of " trying to quit". I am doing really good. I do not think about smoking very often. I just remind myself how bad they are for my health. I never want to go back to smoking. EVER!

You go girl! Just remember smoking can cause cancer and you sure as heck don't want another battle of THAT. Give your boobs time to heal but definitely tell your PS what you don't like about it and see if there is anything that can be done. It sure seems like there should be. The goal is to have them look the same and the law allows that!
Congrats on quiting smoking. I know it's hard but well worth it! I quit many,many years ago and it was the best thing I could have done for my health and my pocket book. I hope things work out on your boobs. Sorry to hear that they don't look alike.
