    yes, just give it a few weeks and they will start rounding out nicely! scars will start to flatten also. any little puckering etc will begin to fill out as well. sounds like you are doing good! I'm one month out and what a difference a few weeks make!!

  • Posted to why does my breast scar look so thick underneath or is it ointment?? on 10 Jun 2011

    i am now 3 1/2 weeks out from BR. However, remember worrying about the same thing. After my stitches and the tape was removed from under my breast i worried that the scars were raised and "pieced" together. At nearly a month out, the scars are softening nicely and i feel that another few weeks and they will be totally flat. just hang in there, everyday gets a little better.

  • Posted to BR next week....I'm excited and scared! on 29 May 2011

    I am two weeks out from my surgery. OMG the difference a couple of weeks make!! Feeling more myself since the surgery! Sleeping well, still get tired a little quicker than normal. Incisions are settling nicely. Was a little worried about incisions after i was allowed to remove tape/steri-strips. However - the scarring looks and feels better on a daily basis now. Hang in there! Days 3-5 were my hardest - it gets better from there. Hey! I painted my toenails yesterday without having my boobs stuffed under my chin!! The simple things you were never able to do are amazing now! Good luck!

    Just make sure you have your bed/recliner ready with pillows and your comfort things. I stayed in my bed but had a reading pillow along with several other pillows. I'm nearly two weeks out and just last night had my first REAL GOOD nights sleep. Make yourself as comfortable as you can. I work at school and had our nurse look at my incision/scars today and she said they looked incredibly good just since she saw them two days earlier. Rest and your body will do what it's supposed to do to heal!

  • Posted to I am less than two weeks away from my BR surgery date. I'm nervous! Advice for post op recovery? on 21 May 2011

    Thanks Bonnie! I checked online and holy cow some of the pre-formed (i believe it was rejuveness) was outragous! I called and asked walgreens and they didnt have it, but may need to call around to some other pharmacies. Thanks for your help!
