Breast Reduction - Atlanta, GA

during the healing process i used neosporin. since i've always been a cocoa butter user i started applying that once they were healed. i am thinking about ordering "scarparin" to see if that would helpt to reduce the scars.

I haven't taken any pictures lately but i will.

thank you!!

I had an issue with separation as well ESP after the staples/stitches were removed. the left one healed fairly quickly the right one took forever and by forever I mean a month or maybe a lil more once it originally separated. my PS had me put antibiotic ointment and guaze on my incisions daily. everytime I removed the guaze the scab would come off. eventually i stopped using the gauze and just applied ointment so that it would dry and harden and heal and since then it has.

what does the tape do for scar management? does it keep it from being raised or something? thinking I should have done this or maybe Incan start if its not too late.

Hi Iowa! thanks for the words of encouragement! overall, I am happy with the shame and lift. my bottom incisions are weird cuz the ends aren't smooth I have a permanent "fold" there now and it's higher up than I thought it would be(if that makes sense) like its not right against my chest which could be the reason I've bn able to move around so much cuz there isn't much "pull"

Anywho, I haven't had any neck issues and no regular headaches so I'm happy about that! I do have a back issue that wasn't there before. every since the surfgery I've bn holding my shoulder up for some reason and I have to constantly remind myself to relax them. not sure why I am doing that. also the right side is bigger now and I've had some back aches on that side here and there. They may alsobe a result of the way I'm holding my shoulders. I can never seem to get "comfortable" no matter if I'm sitting, standing, and especially sleeping! Hopefully my body will adjust soon.
