Went back May 3 to have the final few staples removed in the rt side. Unfortunately now I have a very bad infection in my rt breast it is pushing out and making my incision line wider. They did a culture and are having me wet pack the incision on that side 2x a day with Di-Dak-Sol. Cultures came back I was put on a very, very strong antibiotic. Was supposed to return to work the following day but now has been extended till May 16. Not taking pictures because it is too gross for me to handle.
Returned for recheck May 9 infection is going away! However I am not healing as fast because I have a low white blood count so we are aiming to go back to work after another recheck at the end of next week. So we will cross our fingers and see how things look then.
Great review?

My rating:
Dr Butler and his staff at the surgery center were very easy to work with, very friendly and knowledgeable answered any questions I had. His office staff has been so good working with me on any questions I have had and been very accommodating with scheduling appointments.
What a difference! Thanks so much for posting your story and photos here on RealSelf. It's so very helpful for others going through the same thing. You look great. Please keep us posted on how you're healing.
Yours look a lot like mine did. I bet you are feeling really good now! I noticed a change the first time I sat up in the recovery room.
They will drop and take shape over the next several months. Congratulations you look great!
Oh they will take shape before you know it. You look amazing and will have so much fun buying new tops an bras.
The surgery just takes that old maid feeling away...LOL
Mine were boxy looking for about 4-5 months and then started to take on a really nice and natural shape. Gravity will set it :)
