Three Week Visit

I was excited to go to my appointment because I knew Dr. Galante would also be thrilled with my final outcome. It took me an hour to get there and my appointment lasted approximately ten minutes at most, but that was good news. I went in, he checked me out, and looked at my scars. I was nervous about what he would say because I had been bragging here on my blog, but I was right. Dr. Galante said they look FABULOUS. "You can barely see them!" That was music to my ears.

What I did mention was the fact that my left breast is still quite a bit higher than my right. He did not seem to notice a difference, but TRUST ME... I NOTICED. Dr. Galante, also being a perfectionist of sorts, wanted to make sure I was 100% satisfied. So what he did was take a photograph of me during my appointment of course to keep documentation, but mainly to compare my before and after shots. What he did was pull them up on his computer side by side and then with a highlighter (only on the computer) he underlined each nipple.

It was very strange. There was definitely a difference, but it was nothing to get frantic about. In fact I could barely see the difference anymore. I guess looking down at one's own breasts is quite a bit different than head on. The pictures also showed that before the procedure I was exactly the same, meaning my left breast was higher than my right. Dr. Galante explained that most women have asymmetrical breasts and that it was perfectly normal. That made me wonder, "What else are you blowing out of proportion?" In my mind there was a significant difference, but as it turns out that was a myth. Trust me, I am not disappointed. =)
