One Month Down!
So it's been exactly one month since I have had the surgery!!
Changes:
My breast are softer but still swollen in a couple of spots
My breast are slowly dropping (not sagging), I guess you can say taking their shape
Massaging my incisions has been working wonders!!!
My right and left trouble spots are healing better. My left is still pink but it's drying out wonderfully!
I can sleep on my sides; tried to sleep on my stomach but when I raise up it feels weird :-/
My incisions are healing but still are sensitive. I will probably start scar treatment in the new year. I want my incisions to heal completely before I start.
I think my breast are a full C/D.
I haven't bought any bras yet; I'm waiting until the new year to do so
I'm enjoying wearing shirts I have already have and seeing how to look on me now!

3 weeks!!
It's been 3 weeks since my surgery. Although I love the size of my breasts; my left one is giving me the blues!
My right breast is healing fine to me but my left breast isn't healing well. The scab is open and I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions?!?

Ive seen this a lot on a FB page I am on. have you talked to your PS yet? They say it heals from the inside out and to put vaseline on the outside and keep it dry and the skin will heal over it. I have also seen someone have this special tape put on that section. I had mine open up at the bottom and I just keep cleaning and put a surgical tape over it and it is 70% better. Dont panic it will get better.

Yeah it will, but geez. I put bacitracin on it after cleaning and I have less discharge on the nursing pad...can't wait until I gets better

Try getting Steri strips or surgical tape. Honestly that is what finally got my yuky spot to start healing. I also took a shower every 2 days instead of every day to dry it up and just did a sponge bath.

Mine are steri strips which are Sterile tape strips to hold wounds together like stitches. Mine wasn't airing out with the gauze but your hole is a bit bloodier than mine was ?? Hmm

Call doc. Both your nipples around them is red. That's not a good sign and needs to be checked right way. It very well could be nothing but better to be safe than sorry. Make him see you if he won't.

I'm already back in Dallas :( but I'll call and see what they recommend

I had an open wound once the tape came off and was told to put Aquaphor and guaze and it is healing nicely after one week.

just seeing this, I am using my nursing pads and using bacitracin! seems to be working fine! thanks!!

My left breast is giving me problems too. I have two spots that are not healing well. :( I saw my doctor today and they said to keep it dry, but to make sure it doesn't get too dry. I can put vaseline on it if it gets too dry. I was told to only put antibiotic ointment on it for two days because after that it actually will break the tissue down. It really does suck.

hey chick! don't know why I'm just seeing this! how are you doing? mine are finally starting to dry out and heal thank goodness! I put bacitracin on it once a day in the am. seems to help it out a lot. happy healing!
