Nearly 4 wks PO-hole at base of breast!! New pics...

Nearly 4 weeks PO. I have my stamina back. I am back into my normal Mommy and work routine. I find myself wanting to rest more than usual....but not tired. I think I'm trying to combat the swelling. I'm finding the more I do, and if I walk, the straighter I can stand. If I rest too much, it feels like I did 900 crunches, and I have to work on standing up straight again. I'm regaining feeling in my abdomen. I don't know if that's part of issue. It is still pretty numb directly under new belly button, but I can feel the sides of lower abdomen, and upper abdomen. I'm very pleased with the abdomen. I took my steri strips off last Thursday. Incisions on abdomen look good, a little tender to touch where I had lipo, but otherwise they feel good and are healing well.
The BA/BL is another story! Ok, honestly, I love the way the girls look. I love my reduced areolas, and the perkiness. I HATE the feeling of the implants....or it may be the muscle healing? Is anyone else feeling like this? My chest feels so tight sometimes! The massage 4 times a day is helping, but the sensation hasn't gone away. It feels so tight. I thought my nipples would be desensitized, but they are SO sensitive! The worst part is that I think I reached too far above my head, or lifted too much the first two weeks, and have a "hole" at the intersection of the anchor incisions at the base of my right breast. I didn't notice this until I removed the steri-strips. In fact, I believe the steri-strips were helping it heal and scab. I have been using gauze and Neosporin since Thursday. I take a pic every day....had to send one to PS because it looked infected. It is infected, but hasn't gotten worse...so not on oral antibiotics. However, I can feel the hole, and it creeps me out. It is as big as the pad of my ring finger! PS says if the scar is too big he will fix once it heals! UGH! I thought the breasts were going to be a cake walk compared to the TT. I would have a TT any day over the BA/BL. On top of all of that, I have developed a rash around the incisions in the last two days. It's very itchy, and I have a bunch of little red bumps springing up. I started out by just using Cortisone on it for the itch, but now am using topical Benadryl and taking Benadryl. It still itches!!!! If it doesn't get better, I'm going to have to ask PS to look at these babies and tell me what's going on. I don't know if tape residue is left, and it's causing this. It's just frustrating. Because of hole and the need to have gauze on 24/7...I have to sleep in bra, it's uncomfortable. I'm still wearing CG 24/7 too. Finally last night I was more comfortable in my bed than recliner. Overall I'm very happy with how results look. I really just can't wait to feel normal again. I know that it is going to take time. If my breasts could feel normal.....that would make everything better! I hope everyone is doing well!

15 days PO, 1st week back to work....seems I'm not ackng self with jump back into Mom and job duties... I strained muscles in shoulder and back. I spend evenings icing injuries. However, I know that it's normal to injure small muscles after a surgery like this. Then 4 yr old got flu last night. And, period decided to start with a vengeance... It's an exhausting first week back to reality....each day I am getting a little stronger though. Just got to keep on truckin! Doc said could sleep without bra....boobs/BA/scars.....still feel foreign to me a little. It may be weight on scars. I don't feel it as much with bra on. I can also sleep without CG now....but not comfortable doing that yet. I think I'll wait to try after week 3. Results look better every day. I think boobs are beginning to drop a little. They certainly feel softer. I have a little feeling in nipples. Stomach still is bizarre to touch and numb. Hope everyone is well!

First day back to work, ugh! Back is spamming right now....in parts, ended up hunched over at end of day and swollen! Also, gas has been my enemy the last two days! I know this will get easier as body adjusts....firsts after surgery are hard:(. Oh well, seeing stomach get a little flatter each day is worth it! Hope everyone is well!
