9 1/2 weeks and doing well!
Hay ladies ive been dealing with alot recently and got behind on my updates...sorry. im currently doing really well and feeling great, I have had a few ups and downs tho, firstly ive had to stop using the silicone gel as I was very allergic and had a nasty reaction...word to the wise, do a patch test before applying all over...so im sticking with bio oil. Another down was the naughty right breast started producing pus from the incisions around the nipple I was really freaked out but a week of careful management sorted that out. My scars are doing really well, not so pink and tender although the one's under the breast have become quite dark but they are hidden so no big deal. Ups are im happy with the shape and symmetry, neck pain has disappeared and standing taller and straighter and not having to constantly fix and adjust myself in my clothes...yay! If I could change anything I think I would have liked them to be more lifted. It could just be in my head, ive never had normal looking breasts so only have others to compare to but to me they seem a little droopy still, im probably just being crazy..lol

Kelocote silicone gel
I've started to apply silicone gel to my incisions this week, the brand im using is Kelocote its very easy to apply being a gel and smells pretty good, they say once dried iy waterproof and we can apply sunscreen, makeup etc over it which is good. My only problem is applying the right amount, I would say less is definitely more otherwise it never dries, I put too much on the first time and ended up a sticky mess and had to reshower because hours later it still wasnt dry...lol. Now ive got it right and I dont know if its in my head but my incisions are looking better already...ill keep you all updated :-D

Hey Kay Jay, just read your story. So happy you're alright. And you look great! When did you start the bio oil? When did you start showering? Are your scars raised, they look like they aren't in most photos but in one righty looks like it is. I have a written exam 11 days after my surgery, do you think I'll be able to write? I was gonna ask for a time extension. DId you ask to be a DD or did the doc just do what she thought best? OK, no more questions. Thanks!

Hay Disprop! Thank you for the compliment I feel great now. I started using bio oil at week four on the advice of the dressings nurse. My incisions were glued as well as internal stitches then steri strips this allowed me to shower from day one. My scars are beautifully flat...thank god..the right breast is a little behind on healing but it did have two surgeries...lol. as for your exam you should be able to write but will probably feel very fatigued very easily, I might consider the extension to give yourself the best chance, you dont want to be falling asleep during your exam. My surgeon and I spoke at length about size and we decided to go for proportion for my frame rather than an actual size, and its paid off. Ive still got some weight to loose so will probably end up a 34D which is my personal goal size. Please ask as many questions as you need. :-D

Good luck with your surgery. I would also ask for the extension on your exam. You should have no problem writing, but you will be very tired and it may be hard to concentrate. I was able to go back to work 17 days after surgery, but don't think I could have concentrated very well the week before.
