Hi @bpknitter53 -- thank you for sharing. It seems a lot of us have a similar story to tell as far as preferences and results. I loved your description of being soft and round. I think I'm going to use that from now on. My C-section also made it harder to get a flat belly again. The real question is, were your "dog ears" there before the surgery? Most of my excess weight is in my belly, not chest, so don't let them blame you. Also, about 3 years after my surgery I lost significant weight due to a neurological swallowing issue. Doctors were telling me I was too thin and need to gain weight. Guess what? The dog ears were still there. Very disappointing.

Analogy to explain dog ears for those unfamiliar. Remember Hostess snowballs? Imagine those sitting on the counter. If you remove the cake part (the actual breast tissue), the remaining marshmallow exterior (skin and surrounding fatty tissue) will collapse, lose its shape and be unsightly unless the surgeon takes the time to remove the excess to compensate for lack of stuffing. We shouldn't have to go in for a second surgery to fix that. My apologies if you'll never look at Hostess snowballs the same way again. 🙂
