Big Boobs Today, Gone Tomorrow (Literally) - Baltimore, MD

I love love my breast! It's been a little over a year since I had my surgery and all is well. I have all sensation in my nipples, which is awesome. The breast reduction left scars and I don't care, I love my breasts scars and all

I am just shy of being 4 weeks post op and I'm loving how my boobs are healing. Between me and you I have this gnawing feeling that right boobs have bad attitudes. I don't want to talk about anyone or start any rumors, but I've been reading lots of other BR reviews and the right boob has collected a lot of different concerns and questions by other ladies. My right boob is trying (sigh), I'm being patient and giving her lots of positive reinforcement and she seems to be slowly responding. I've posted pics so that you can see the progress. I also have an appointment with my dermatologist on Wednesday to look at my scars because unfortunately I do tend to form keloids (sp?). So, I just want to get an early jump on that, just in case. I'll let you know how that goes, too.

Second post op visit was today. I don't know if I mentioned last week that my PS put me on antibiotics because my right boob was kinda red and she was a tad concerned. Also, I had hives under my armpits on the incisions and just in that general area (on both sides) o.k....I say all of that to say I'm all better! I'm still on the antibiotics but the right boob has stopped draining from the nipple area and the redness has gone away. For the hives, my PS gave me the miracle mixture for them! ...get this (you will never believe)... She told me to take Zyrtec and Zantac and guess what?!? It worked!! No hives, no itching and no more misery. I don't know, other people might have known about this but I didn't I thought it was so weird to take an acid reducer but hey, who am I to judge? All I know is the combination works for hives.

So today all is well, my left boob is starting to soften and the right had technical difficulties so it's still pretty swollen and hard but she told me (my right boob) that she's ready to play catch up. Also, I got the stitches that were sticking out cut and removed. So, I don't see the doctor for another three weeks if everything remains on the track that it's on.
