today marks 6 weeks post op and tomorrow is a follow up appointment.I feel fabulous. I have 2 concerns that I will be bringing up tomorrow. They're concerns I could live with and hope that they're considered "normal". I've started wearing regular panties and with the odd time wearing support panties when I feel the need or feel swollen.

I STILL think about it everyday!

so went for my follow up yesterday, and it seems I have a dog ear developing (you can see it slighting on the left) PS said it will go down significantly if I keep massaging it with good amount of pressure. We will re evaluate in about 8 mons-a years time as in that amount of time it will go down, if I;m still not happy with progress than he'll fix it.
Any advice on dog ears?

Just keep massaging that with some pretty good pressure 2-3 times a day with the Vitamin E Oil or Bio oil.  That should do the trick.  If it does not end up exactly how you want it at lest your surgeon will fix what is needed. 

I bet it will be just fine..

it's gone done quite a bit, as the PS said it would. He said he won't touch it for about a year, if it sill bothers me will retouch with a 15 min in office procedure. It doesn't bother me as much anymore because it has gone down so significantly.
hopes this helps and good luck on your scar therapy.

feeling fab, like a million bucks. starting to feel I need my binder less & less, and it's starting to wear out anyways. The breast are starting to take shape, I LOVE them. tomorrow is 5 weeks post op already, I can't believe it. I'm good about keeping the scars treated with vit e & bio oil.
tell me what you think about my new pictures!

Oh my goodness you look wonderful!  Just look at that nice flat and tight tummy!  You go girl!  I am so happy to hear you are doing so well at five weeks.  It is all up hill from here so enjoy the ride.  Just think of how good you will feel by bikini weather. 

You look awesome and I can't wait to see more pictures as you heal.  Keep up on the oil's and that scar will fade quickly.  It already looks pretty smooth and flat.

feeling great! I go back to work tomorrow. I'm ready. I'm looking forward to having my life back to normal. Q: how long did your surgical tape stay on? they told me to let it fall off naturally but they're driving me crazy and itchy as heck. I've started showering again and putting Vit E on the scars over the tape thinking that it would absorb through. I keep my binder on pretty much 24/7 except to shower and inspect. I also have just started sleeping on my side, thank goodness I hate being restricted to one position!
