Incision scars (3weeks)

  • 19 Mar 2015
  • 22 days post
Just thought I'd stop in and add some pics of my incisions since I finally took the bandages off. They still have some glue from the tape but they're not too bad. I can see a stitch in the left one but it's not extremely visible. My left scar looks a little better than my right IMO. Also, I think these pics make them look longer than they are because it's not a good view of my entire boob. I'm using Mederma scar cream on them for now and I cover them excessively when I tan. So far so good

Everything has been pretty smooth sailing still. Dr. Hedden said I could wear whatever bra I'd like at 2 weeks post op w sports bra at night for 6 months and I can take the bandages off my incisions at 3 weeks (think I'll do that today and post pics) and I can start using scar cream (Mederma). He said I could tan at 2 weeks as well as long as my incisions are covered well. I'm now in a 34DD at VS (body by Victoria is my fav). I have a post op appointment 3-31 (4weeks post). In the last few weeks we've had snow, rain, wind, and sun (up to almost 80degrees) Alabama weather lol. Can't wait for summer. Still no massages and still no lifting heavy objects. I have lifted my kids a few times when it was unavoidable. My chest muscles still get sore at times when I really pick myself but I try to take it easy as much as possible. The boobs are getting super squishy and I believe my right one has settled a little more than my left one. Everything has been peachy through my whole experience. I love them so much and so does my boyfriend lol. Most of my clothes still fit and most of them fit better. Not much more to update. Going to post a couple pics (PINK light push up 34DD and LG bikini top from walmart that I bought for tanning). Any questions feel free to ask! Happy healing and good luck RS friends.

Day 6

Everything is listening up and softening more day by day. The only real soreness left is the muscles on the sides behind my boobs. Still relatively numb, especially my nipples. I can almost push them together but it's uncomfortable so I don't push it. Still rotating sports bras like a crazy lady. My left insicion is sore because of the god awful supportive contraptions I hafta carry my boobs around in all day. It's worth it though. Beauty is pain.

Dr. Hedden and his entire staff were absolutely amazing from consultation to my post op visit. I found him here on RealSelf while researching the procedure and surgeons. I read so many wonderful reviews and he was only a couple hours away from home so I decided to schedule a consultation. My whole experience has been 100% perfect thus far. I would normally over think everything and worry so much but they really made this journey enjoyable and stress free for me. I could not have asked for a better surgeon, anesthesiologist, nurses, etc. I'm only 3 days post op and I've been pain free (med free for 2 days), feeling wonderful, and absolutely in love w my results so far. Can't wait to see the finished product. I will definitely be recommending Dr. Hedden to anyone considering breast augmentation.
