I am just about 1 month post op and I am really happy with my BA! My breasts are softening up and looking better all the time. My PS is happy with my progress and I don't have to go back to see him for one month. I am still massaging everyday...about 3 times a day. I am not sore at all. I am not lifting weights yet...just my kids. I actually just started picking them up this week. They are both about 45lbs. I am not straining my pecs when I lift them...I have them stand on the bed and they "help" me carry them by holding on with their legs and arms.
Super happy with everything!

On Saturday (15 days post op) I was perscribed a steroid pack and Lidex (topical cream) to get my rash under control. It spread pad to my upper chest, sides (under arm pits), stomach and neck. :(
I saw the doctor today and he said in addition to my allergic reaction to the glue from the steri strips...it appears that I also had a reaction to the cleansing agent the surgery center uses to prep patients for surgery. It's a very common ingredient found in surgical cleansers. Chlorhexidine. A reaction to this is not very common though...he said. Lucky me!! ;)
When he told me that...I did a mental head slap! I bought HIBICLENS to use pre surgery as my antiseptic antimicrobial skin cleanser. Guess what Hibiclens is made with...chlorhexidine. When I first realized I was having a reaction to the glue I used the Hibiclens to clean the my incisions because the rash was weeping...and I thought using the cleanser would be the best thing to get the glue off. Little did I know, I was only making things worse for myself. The topical cream my doctor gave did help a ton to heal up the incision sight, but know the rash was all over my upper body!! On Saturday I called the on call nurse and they got me a steroid pack perscription right away.
So now I am half way through the steroid pack and my rash doesn't make me want to take my skin off any more!!!!
Terrible story...a yucky set back. BUT...I will be good as new soon and will update with pictures next time! I really do think my breasts are looking better every day (minus the rash)!

Alohababy ~ Thank you so much for the compliment! This site was really helpful to me too. I am happy that I am able to help someone else! Everyone's story is different...but there are so many people that you can relate to! Good luck to you on your BL & revision!
