Why: She just has this presence of niceness. I just felt good dealing with her, pre-op, op and post-op.
Seeking help:

How long til the dissolvable stitches dissolve? And, when should I remove the tape? My Dr said to shower and the tape should work itself off - but it's pretty heavy duty - I think it'll need some help, but I don't want to mess with it too early.
Review of Breast reduction:

I had pain all over - not just my back or neck or shoulders, but all over my upper body, and mostly my intercostal muscles. I was so disproportioned and uncomfortable all the time.

I was larger than I wanted to be since I was about 10 - and at 27, I finally had the surgery. It has been the best decision of my entire life. Granted, I'm only 10 days post surgery and I'm at the beginning of my recovery, but I feel great.

I took Arnica two days before my surgery and have been taking it since - the bruising and swelling has been minimal. And, the pain has been so minimal, I have not taken any pain meds. Nothing more than what they gave me while I was in surgery. None in the IV. No pills at the hospital. No pills from my Rx. It's amazing.

I would be inclined to leave it (unless we're talking about months! :) Do you have any follow-up appointments coming up? She might remove it then anyway, if it's time.
