WORTH IT
Just got home from the ER.. I have cellulitis in the "triangle" incision area on the right breast. I was given IV antibiotics and sent me home with 2 oral antibiotics and some pain meds. I'll need to f/up with the PS on Tuesday.
I am actually relieved that the ER doctor said it was infected and put me on antibiotics so that this swelling and tenderness will start to go. It is disappointing when you know that there is something wrong and the doctor wants you to wait it out and see what happens!!

Called the nurse today because my right breast is "swollen" compared to the left. It feels as if there is an implant in there moving around. The nurse said it was normal and that they would heal and different rates.
**I have noticed that the triangle on the underneath of the right side is large enough to fit my finger in there!! (The left side is completely closed.. I just noticed this and will be calling them back in the morning.***
Other than that I am doing great.. The nerves have started waking up though and I've switched to ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. The shape is looking good.
The size? Not sure yet since I still have some swelling.

Congratulations, C! When did you have your surgery? Thanks for posting the pictures. It is really helpful to see everyone's progress!

I had my surgery on 8/25.
WOOOOOWWWW YOUR BREAST WENT DOWN A WHOLE LOT I CAN SEE U ARE STILL VERY SORE BUT THEY ARE SOOOOOOO PRETTY WOW I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

They are a lot prettier now that the bruising has gone down significantly. I will post new pictures when I get back home on Thursday.
Looks very painful but also i know its such a relief!! Still waiting on my approval!
Ms Perry,
It really isn't terribly painful. I was surprised as I was expecting it to be horrific. But as I thought about it, I realized it is just fat and tissue that they are cutting into. They did not cut through my muscle and that is what hurts so much about an abdominal surgery. I don't know if you have ever had an abdominal surgery, but you can't cough or sneeze without excruciating pain. It is not like that at all with this. There is some discomfort, but it is totally manageable.

Actually for me it has been pretty painful. I have had to stay on the meds religiously... lol.. This is not typical though. I have fibromyalgia and that in itself causes pain. I also have a 4 year old who keeps me pretty busy and I have not necessarily been resting as much as I should be.
you will get it today. call them
The last picture..... why do you have the extra skin, and is that what they refer to as dog ears ? How does that happen, I'm 7 days away and getting VERY nervous.

That is the extra flap of skin that the doctor tells you about. They can do liposuction to correct that. Mine has actually gone down some. It was still very swollen in that picture. I will post new pictures on Thursday, I am out of town for two days for a training.
yeah mine is doing lipo.
