I think the silicone scar sheets are helping. Dr Carr said I would probably only need to use them for a couple of months. Swelling has all gone and I have been able to sleep on my side for the last week or so. Very, very happy with my new boobs!

You will get a set of Epi-Derm at one of your post op appts, which last about 10 days. You can buy more on line, but they are REALLY expensive! I didn't keep the box for the ones I bought at Shoppers Drugs... can't tell you the brand but there are 6 strips in the box and it comes with a little white plastic case to keep them in. They last about a week. The Epi-Derm is the best as they are made for boobs while the others need to be cut but they do the job! Dr Carr told me it did not matter what brand.... they all do the same thing. There are also a couple of silicone gels in tubes you can apply like an ointment. I bought one but have not really used it yet. Hope this helps!

I hope things are well for you. I got my lift a week ago and doing good. Do you really thing the roller helped keep you soft? Thanks!

It certainly did! I was quite swollen after my surgery, I guess it is normal, and I was told to massage lots. I really found the roller worked well - I could tell the difference within a few minutes. I also used it a lot on my scars once they had healed so they did not feel so 'think'. Hope you are feeling good and happy with your results! Happy healing!

Your results are awesome..was your swelling that you mentioned under your arms section? I'm 2wks po and just started swelling in my boob under the arm section. Feel like my boob wraps around underneath my arm and back, im hoping its just swelling and not fat..again congrats to you and happy healing

Thanks! I hope you are making a great recovery. Yes, the swelling was really bad under the sides of my bra, it was like having a couple of extra boobs in there. My PS told me to massage lots and it really helped to reduce the swelling. Try the wallpaper roller, it really helped. My swelling was pretty much gone by 4 weeks post op. Good luck!

4.5 weeks and PS Visit

Newgirls50March 2, 2014
I had my 4 week check-in with Dr Carr this week. His nurse said I look like I am 3 months post-op, not one! I was so happy to hear that. She removed 3 stitches that were poking out. Swelling has all gone and I am cleared to go back to the gym and to wear pretty bras! :) I am still wearing a sportbra at night, and might continue to do so forever if it will help keep these girls in their new home! Scars are looking really good. I cannot say enough about Dr Carr being an amazing surgeon, my incisions are barely visible already PLUS, he is a really nice man. Wishing happy healing to anyone having surgery this week!

You look amazing! I didn't know this site existed and I am booked into have the same procedure as well as a tummy tuck on May 8th with Dr. Carr and his team. Nice to his work on someone. I have a GF who suggested him as they have both had implants done with him. Thanks for the information, heal well.

3.5 Weeks and a new friend!

Newgirls50February 24, 2014
Still very happy with my surgery and recovery. Swelling is almost gone except for a little on my incision sites. It occurred to me the other night that I use a roller after a good workout at the gym, it gives a great massage, so ran off to my garage and rescued my wallpaper roller, only about 1.5" acrose, it the perfect size for massaging my incisions and easy to control the amount of pressure applied! My new best friend!
Scars are healing very well, they look worse in these pics than they are, barely noticable in reality. The camera on an iPhone5 is too good! Have started scar therapy with silicone strips. My PS gave me Epi-Derm brand. Does anyone have any other recommentdations?
Tried on some of my old bras for fun and was happy to find I still fill them the same, but do not have to rely on them to keep the girls up! Looking forward to summer and being able to wear strappy sundresses and bandeau tops!
Have 4 week appt with my PS on Wednesday.

You look fantastic! I appreciate all your updates and tips I am using the scar gel called kelocote and love it. I got it off amazon.. I am getting a breast lift in a month or so. I had a face, eye and neck lift in January. The recovery has been going good from that. I had a tummy tuck last year after taking off 150 pounds 3 years ago. I wish you all the best with your new girls!

Hello I am going April 1st and going with silicone implants with the lift. I have a lot of side fat to be removed so trying to figure out if it gets tucked in with the lower smile scare. Doing all my homework now on sizing and recovery. This will be my last surgery and don't want to mess it up. What advice can you suggest? Thank you!

I am excited for you!! Is your surgeon going to do lipo on your sides? Prepare for lots of bruising if so, but you will be familiar with that from the TT. Follow your surgeons instructions to the letter!! Bring a pillow in the car for the ride home - to have between your new girls and the seatbelt. I put our spare bed into a corner so I could be propped up for a few nights with lots of pillows and it was very comfortable. By about day 5 I was able to go back to our bed and still stay a little bit elevated. Make sure you have a few front fastening tops for the first few days so you don't have to lift your arms over your head. I am almost 6 weeks post op and still wearing a sport bra most of the time, even though I can wear anything now. Just so much more comfortable and easy. My size has not really changed so did not have to buy any new ones. (no implants). I will be following your story! Good luck, you must be so excited!
