WORTH IT
Sorry it's been so long for an update I've been busy busy!! So everything is going great, healing great, and looking great. I've still got my steri strips on and a little pain here and there but other than that I'm fine. I don't know why my iPhone uploads my pics upside down so I'm sorry but its the only way I can get them on here. Maybe you can enlarge and turn them?:)

Ok question, I tried driving yesterday for the first time. When I turned the wheel from the top with my right hand, it hurt and felt like something pulled in my right boob near the top. Last night the top of my right boob started feeling much stiffer and hard compared to the left and sore. It feels kinda like a knot. Is this from possible strain ? I looked stuff up and some stuff freaked me out lol. I have a check up tomorrow though.

Thats super normal Im sure, well at least I have noticed that on my breast too! I have some areas that still feel like a big knot-ish area, then I have other parts that feel, now that they've settled a bit, like real boob......I'm glad you have an appt tomorrow tho, its always nice to have a doctor reassure you!

8 days post op... I'm feeling sore and all still but other wise doing great. This sleeping on my back is killing me!! I can't wait for it to be done lol. I cannot express how amazing I feel when I wear my clothes now! I even cried! This was the best decision I ever made. For anyone who has fears its sooooo worth it!! I do have a little swelling "lump spot" on the left side but I'm guessing its normal since its not red or sore and drainy. Still have the sterile strips on, how long til they come off? Do I wash them? I've been cleaning around the edges. Anyways happy healing to those who need it!:)

I kept my steri strips on till they were practically falling off. PS said not to replace them after that, but I think some PS's do, so check and see if they want you to replace after. Mine were off in about a week or so

Congrats on your surgery, you look GREAT!!!! Mine is Feb 11 and i'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. What pain meds did they prescribe you? My dr is giving me percoset because i told them that lortab makes me itch all over, sometimes. I want the best ones for pain, because i know i will be in pain, UGH! Any advice?

I had Percocet on the hospital but when I came home I had Vicodin and they both work great!

I was told to keep my surgical tape on for 12 days, shower as usual and blow dry the strips after. After 12 days I have to change them, and from then on change them once or twice a week until the scars are pale. Ideally 3 months.
