I am currently a HH cup - 8 weeks post op - South Africa, ZA

i have recovered really well, the extra vitC,D seems to have done the trick with my T zones, they healed up beautifully, my incisions are smooth and the vertical incision is already not even visible. I am still wearing tape(micropore) on my incisions as my PS believes this is best to prevent thickening of scars- and she is right,it looks amazing. I can now sleep on my side which makes a huge difference. I am so so happy that I have done this for myself. The pain was minimal in comparison with the satisfaction,pride and relief I feel now. Well worth it!

i have just changed my tape and, at 6 wks, the only scabs i have left is a tiny tiny one on my left breast T zone wnich will probably fall off within the next week!! I am SO happy! The double dose of Vit C,plus the dose of Vit A,D and E which i have been taking daily from 10 days after surgery ,made an immense difference to the T zones which were still open and oozing at almost 4 weeks. It took a while to kick in,but then it improved daily. Now i will just keep it taped up and apply my lotion through the tape once a day till further notice from my PS. Just a tip ladies: i bought the Bali Comfort bra as well as the Genie bra, and the Bali is definately more comfortable by far. Genie's waistband still rolls over,where as Bali is mire stable. Just be sure to try them on before buying as the recommended size guide on the packaging recommended a size too big. Happy healing!

Every time i look in the mirror, i smile! This is the best thing i have ever done! It takes time to heal, i still have scabs where the drains were and on my T zones and i still have swelling and tenderness in the lower halves of both breasts, but for the first time in my llife i look in the mirror and think: i LOVE my breasts! I dont even see the scars and stretchmarks. Luckily i am a tattoo lover and i have already found some beautiful designs( used by a mastectomy patient) which i will use to cover up the sacrs below the breast,IF it should ever bother me. But even now, in all its thick purpleness,i still love my breasts. SO glad i found my PS, SO glad i listened to her and trusted her when it came to size and so glad i have found this forum! Be patient, recovering ladies. It takes a while to get used to a change. Dont compare your results too much with others, dont google too many complications, it just made me paranoid. Just follow your PS's instructions,keep a close eye for infection, take things easy physically and give it plenty of time.
