Post-op: Day 12
Took a few more pics yesterday, two days after I got the sutures removed from around my areoles. The remaining sutures will be removed in a couple more days. Sorry for the quality of the pics. I took them while facing the window and facing away from the window. Lol. In the same bathroom. The coloring in each pic is vastly different!!!!
A couple of things I've noticed. First, that my old tan lines that I used to have from my swimsuit (went on vacation a couple of months ago) are now below my nipples. I know it's hard to tell in the pics, but the entire upper half of my breasts are tan. I found that so funny when I first noticed.
Because of the tanned breasts, I am now noticing that my nipples seem really pale in comparison, almost like they've lost pigmentation. They've never been dark, as you can see from my pre-op pics. Part of it is probably the horrible lighting of the pictures and because the skin around the nipples is tanned? Isn't it odd? I have feeling in both nipples, and they look healthy, so I don't think anything's wrong with them. I'll ask the doctor when I go in on Wednesday. I told my hubby that I may need to get tattoos, just to give a little more color to my nipples. (Definitely not...ouch!!!)
All in all, I'm SUPER happy with my doctor's work and that in a few months time, after the scars fade and the shape refines itself even further, I'm going to have so much fun shopping for new bras and clothes!! I'm already feeling much less stress and strain on my shoulders and neck... a big win/win!!

Post-op: Day 6
Went to Dr. E's office today. He took the tape off the incisions and said I'm healing nicely. I told him I've been taking it easy, as instructed. Dr. E said that it's too early to remove any of the sutures yet. He said to come back on Friday, three days from now, and that they'd remove 1/3 of them, and then the remaining stitches will come out next week.
I told him about the itching and as expected, it's an 'ok' thing, caused by the wound healing itself.
I took a few pics of the underside of my breasts so I could see what they looked like. I hadn't really looked at the under side until today, when the doc took off the surgical tape. I think for only being six days post-op, they look good.
I'll update on Friday, after some of the sutures are removed.

Starting to get itchy...
Quick update before I go to sleep. I have a post-op appointment in the morning, but wanted to ask you all about itching. My suture lines are getting a little itchy! I want to scratch them, but I know that I (obviously) can't/shouldn't!! The suture lines look good. They're not oozing or bleeding. Both nipples are doing well and thankfully I have sensitivity in both. In fact, they seem to be MORE sensitive (they're hyper sensitive right now) than they were prior to surgery.
I'm sure the itching sensation is 'normal,' right? A sign of healing perhaps??
I'll update after my appointment tomorrow. :)
