Yes there was slight pull here and there and alot of bruising , but I had a goal at hand :).. But word to the wise REST those full 3/4weeks starting to move around to early will only delay your healing process (pillows,magazines,pills) lol

Tomorrow is the day! Still nervous but I'm getting excited to feel more comfortable. I realized that there are clothes that will be more comfortable, and maybe look better. I will be able to do more. Stephy, your comments about excercising so soon are motivating me! Find out at 3pm what time I go tomorrow.

My surgeyy is this week with Dr Lohner. So nervous!! I'm a 38DDD...think will be a C after. He says 575 grams willl come out. Afraid I'll be flat!
July 7, 2013
Don't be. You will have more than enough left. My doctor took out 6lbs each side and I think I may be a small D, 38 C. You will be just fine. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!! I'll update you after. I know he does beautiful work! What was your initial size stephyA?

StephyA did your doctor give a cream for the healing of your nipples? Has anyone else been given a cream? What are your experiences with it if so?

I started out a 44 ddd and am now a 42 c .. And no dr Lohner doesn't believe in any creams and gels. He promotes natural healing with at a certain stage post op a cream with vitamin e in (palmers cocoa butter worked cream for me ) he said the scarring aides are just unesscesary $$$$. He's very confident in his work , which now being on the other side I agree he's excellent.
