Another thing, my skin on my breast is still really dry, I use bio oil daily, it's getting better but those dry patches are going away very slowly.
Are you guys using anything different?

Yayy. I'm sure you'll love her. Tell Raeanne that her favorite patient says hi! (she'll be the one to take you back at first ) if you need anything or have any questions just ask, I meet a very nice lady on here that went to Dr Kirby and I still call her with questions sometimes lol.

I thought the same thing, but it was seamless. Just tell them all the trouble and she'll be able to give you a idea if you have a good chance to be approved

Okay I'll do that last question lol did your insurance require a lot of documentation from like your regular doctor?
N
February 7, 2014
No you can ask as many questions as you want. My doctor has noted a couple times that I complained of back pain from my breast, and I gave the ps those notes.

The only other thing I used was the bio oil. Im really happy with how my scars are healing now and my open area is almost completly closed so I can really massage the oil into my incision lines :-)

Hey, I am 6 months out and still have the dry areas and a few other discolored spots, plus I am not thrilled with my one scar. My doctor said, for some people it can take up to a year to be 100%.

First let me say sorry!

I have been sooooooo swamped since I got back to work, then my classes started. I've been a horrible updated. So let's get to it. Last Monday I went for my 6 week checkup. It went pretty good. My PS, said everything, including my few open spots are healing great. I got the all clear to workout and get back to normal. I was told I can wear other bras, no underwire. And she told me not to buy too many because I'm still significantly swollen. I was glad to hear that because I still feel quite big sometimes.

I have a couple plain cotton bras that don't have underwire, but they irritate my incisions underneath. So for now I'm still loving my very ugly surgical bras. They are soooo un-sexy. But comfy.

All in all... I must say, I love them more and more everyday. I fell more comfortable in my clothes, I'm able to button shirts I have never been able to before. I am going to start working out, so my body can be as great as my boobs :). I'm open to suggestions.

I'll post pics from my phone in a min.

Old bra on new boobs

Since I have had a hard day today regarding feeling ok with the hugeness of my boobs I had to find a way to show myself there really is a difference.

We have almost identical recovery stories. I have a separation under my right breast, and I remember thinking the worst. My PS acted like it was no big deal, but when it's happening to you it IS a big deal. Like you, I also feel like my boobs are too big. I asked for a C cup. But then I'll put on a sweater that looked terrible before and can really tell a difference. I went back to work today (desk job) and I am wiped out! Just wanted to sympathize with you and let you know you're not alone. P. S. I think you look great!

Ditto! I have what seems like an opening following 5 weeks post op, and what appears to be gathering (yep like when you pull a string to gather in sewing), and I don't like it one bit. My doctor keeps telling me it will change later, but I don't know how much changing it can do. And yes, you look great.

I have that gathering also on the outer edges. I read that it will go down. Ps wasn't concerned she just said when I massage with the biooil to put pressure on these areas.

I def helps knowing I'm not alone. How are your openings doing?

Me too. I am the same. I am even considering further surgery.

That is a good way to check that you really are reduced - I did it too...Its funny how after a couple of months you start thinking the new smaller boobs are large..........
N
January 8, 2014
Right.... It's hard to imagine them being bigger than this. Hubby keeps saying, that there is definitely a huge difference.

I keep thinking they're quite large, 34j to 34D, it's so easy to forget where U're coming from. Lol
