    thank you JoanEH I will try that right now I am using Arnaca Cream. Of course it is wierd to put anything on the incision because there is no feeling. I hope PS starts to fill me up slow - but at least I know what to ask him when I see him this week...

    Thank you Jane - but these things are really uncomfortable. I don't take pain meds. Only Tylenol. Pain meds make me sick. I will soon find out as of thursday - but I don't think my PS left me with lots of skin at least it does not feel like it. It feels tight and like it is pulling. At least I know that what I am experiencing seems to be normal with the tissue expanders.

    thank you Jane for the pillow idea - I am going for my first fill this week, but I am so uncomfortable now I can't imagine after the fill. I actually had large breasts so after the bilateral my PS did me as if he was doing a breast reduction. My skin is very tight now and I can't keep enough cream on the incision. And I saw above that one women said one side was bigger then the other - mine is also and the PS said that will work itself out - easy for him to say. Did you ever wonder why there aren't more women Plastic surgeons?
