Pain and open incision on nipple. 4 weeks po
WORTH IT$10,001
I am bummed today. My incision on my nipple and the base of my right boob popped open. They aren't really big but they are taking what feels like a long time to heal. My doc has me on an antibiotic and I am putting betodine on them so they don't get infected. Trying not to lift much so they don't get worse. I am bummed that my incisions were so small and now I'll have a bigger scar. When does the pain in boobs and belly subside? It's not that bad just nagging and occasional sharp pains. I am still very happy with my results. I just tend to get easily flipped out. Still fatigued. Man. Complaining today!!!! Getting my butt up and moving. Have a happy day.

Amazed at my thin scars first day back to work.
I can't believe that 17 days post op my nipple scars look this amazing. I am so grateful for a doctor that is so skilled. I worked for a few hours yesterday. That took a toll on me! I am used to laying around and still get fatigued so easy. I need to remember I am only 17 days out from a major surgery. Baby steps. Happy day, ladies.

You look amazing as do your scars! Its hard to believe you're only 17dpo! I'm trying to listen carefully to my body as well and not over do. Patience is hard to have at times! Blessings for continued healing!

You look great and sounds like your doing it right. It's great when the scars are so minimal. My scars are awesome, great surgeon. But there's so many factors they don't have any control over. Keep healing & enjoying the results.

Every PS has a different strategy... My PS doesn't want me to massage boobs until after 2 weeks. He doesn't take drains out until they're draining less than around 25 combined daily total. And he told me to wear the CG zipped all the way to my boobs almost 24/7... I only took it off to wash. My tummy is flat as a board with little swelling left. The tighter the CG, the less you drain too.

Hey. Thanks for reply! I wear my compression garments 24/7 too and my drains came out at that same time frame. Less than 25 a day. Idk if my cg is tight enough but I don't think my ribs could handle much tighter. I had more weight to lose when I had my tt so it may be as.flat as it will get til I lose more weight but I am still happy to have that skin hang gone. ;)

Yeah, I didn't necessarily want to be a Barbie! I have medim bones so I would be happy as a flat medium, instead of doing the Cher and breaking bones to be a small! :)

It's good to hear that your healing well and things are moving forward (so to speak). Have a great weekend and remember to still rest as you feel better. That's about the hardest thing - not do to much as you feel better. :-)
