Today I am walking around without any dressing or bra on. I feel like my girls just want to air out.
Yesterday I spent forty....yes forty dollars on bandages that will likely last me a week and a half. So today I am letting them loose and to dry and heal without being smothered. Lol
Here are a few pics.

Thanks ladies

I figured I would thank you all for the awesome feedback and comments in a post. After reading a few of your posts I felt so much better about my healing and minor setbacks. I told a friend today that if it were not for this blog and you awesome ladies I would have called my doctor at least 75 times, finished my 30 percocets by day seven and cried 90% of the time I was out healing. So THANK YOU!!!!!
At my last visit my ps said to use Vaseline in between the antibiotic ointment. She said over time some people get a rash when constantly using ointment. The Vaseline is helping with the dryness, chafing and forces me to massage my bubbies and nippies daily -and its more for less!!!
Some of my nipple color is already coming back. I was excited to see it happen already. The raised part of my nipple....you know that small round part that milk would come out of .... It hasn't yet shed the skin layer from the graft , so just adding more ointment and moisture there.
She said I can get back to gym for low intensity work out which means treadmill and elliptical. So excited.
Will post some pics in a day or so.

Your boobs look awesome. Mine was about the same scope of reduction. Isn't it just the most transformative thing!

Yes. I am excited and still in love with them. Lol. Summer will be here in no time and I can already see the sales in tank tops and sleeveless will be up because of me. Lol

Ugh. Some healing still to do
Miss38K.nomoreFebruary 28, 2014
So it's been a few weeks, I'm back to work and happily getting my life back to something like normal. I am having some light oozing from small areas. It frustrating but doc says it's okay. The part that's frustrating is that the friggin gauze sticks and peeling it off is painful and causes the wound to open and re-heal. Ugh. Not trying to rush but just hate the morning bandage routine.
Anyone else have/had small areas of open wound and can relate?

You are definitely not alone. I had a couple times when I developed small open sores from spitting stitches. Nothing to be concerned about unless they get infected. I just kept antibiotic ointment on the sores and kept a panty liner over the sore. This seem to stick less and healed pretty quickly. At the time it was frustrating. I just wanted things to go perfectly. But it was only a small bump in the recovery, and now all is good. I did post some pics on my profile. Hoping you are feeling better with going back to work.

the oozing is fat necrosis, melting dead fat cells, think of how you don't want that inside your body. lots of people find the panty liner thing works well

Talk to your doctor about what she prefers after a free nipple graft. Some like ointment, others not. Some are fine with panty lines, others prefer telfa (you can get nonstick gauze at Walmart)
