Stringalong....Explant and Lift! - Scottsdale, AZ

Well lovely ladies, I've reached the 5 week mark and thought I should do a little update!! The girls feel SOOO much better!! The soreness is almost completely gone. They feel very soft for the most part, just a little hardness at the vertical incision, but not bad at all!! I saw my PS last week and he was very happy with how they are healing. I go back again in 6-8 weeks, and he said that at that point we will look at them very critically for anything that needs to be addressed. I can't tell you all how wonderful it feels to have natural breasts again!! I love being smaller! I hope everyone on this journey is doing well, healing fast, and enjoying their rebirth in their new natural bodies!!! XOXO

Hi All! I can't believe it's been 3 weeks already! Things are moving along slowly. There is still soreness, especially my left side. I think the bruising is getting much better, though. I do have a hardness on the bottom of each breast by the vertical scar. I hope that will eventually go away. Is that what you ladies have meant by hard lumps?? What is this? I am still wearing sports bras because they are the most comfortable. And, I am still taping each day, though at night, I take off the tape and put some oil on them. It's nice to get a break from the tape! All in all, things are going well!

Hi Ladies! My 2 week appointment was yesterday and I finally got the surgical tape off! The girls are lookin pretty good, although there is still a lot of bruising. The doctor seems happy with his handiwork, as am I! He gave me a different type of tape which he wants me to put on the incisions every day for the next 2 weeks. He says this really helps to keep the scars flat and the line thin. My pictures include my first attempt at doing the tape! He told me the pains I am having in my left breast are normal and just mean the nerves are healing. The numbness, he claims, will also improve. He also said I don't need to sleep in the sports bra unless I want to for comforts sake, so we'll see about that. It was a real pain trying to get all the sticky remains of the surgical tape off. He told me to use nail polish remover but it didn't really work that well. I couldn't resist the last couple of pictures!!! I haven't taken off the tags yet because I am unsure if my boobs are going to stay the same as they are right now. It is very, very encouraging that I have anything to even put in this lovely bra!! We'll see how things progress down the road. Wonderful, natural hugs to you all!!!
