64 Year Old Woman Getting Vertical Breast Lift - Fort Worth, TX

I am 5 weeks post op and starting to feel good! I honestly can say that the worst part of my recovery was the intense itching for a good 2 weeks. All of my outside stitches are out and my free nipple grafts are a huge success! I'm so happy with my results! Since I've been feeling better, I want to start doing things and I can't yet. My doctor said I still need to stay out of the heat and sun, so I've been going through some depression. That's hard to do when I'm in Texas! I know I need to be patient so I'm trying! Other than those two issues, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!!!

Had my 2nd post op visit to the doctor and today the sutures and gauze that were on the nipples came off. It was the first look since the FNG. He said they looked great. Now I have to put silvadene cream and gauze on each one after a shower. Thursday more stitches will be coming out. I'm so happy with my results. The only problem is the itching, which is a rash from all the tape and gauze. I'm now on a Medrol pack so hopefully that will get better soon! My only regret is I didn't have this surgery years ago. I was so miserable for so long, and now I'm just thrilled with the results. My bra now is a 34C down from a 36J. I've got so much in clothing that hasn't fit me right in years. I haven't gone thru a weepy period yet and as of now don't think I will. I have such a new outlook on life. It's really amazing! Communicating with all of you has been a huge help! Thanks so much!!!!!
