OMG What Have I Done? - Riverside, CA

Loose the gauze, ointment and bra. You will start to see a change within in a couple of days.
I am on the other side of healing thank goodness.
Now I am left with such huge and ugly scars. I am scared to death to do a scar revision after this last disaster of a surgery .
This is my second lift and the first one went well. I had the incession around my nipple stretch so I did a scar revision then. It was the most painful experience I have had in my life. The Dr put shots of lidocaine around the nipple to numb the area ,thought I was going to die.
The scars stretched back out again so it was all for nothing :( . This time I have both breast that need scar revisions at the T spot and they are huge scars. I feel like he will have to open the incession line so much to correct it. It's like stating all over again.
I am just so tired of it all.
I showed my husband my breast for the first time in 2 1/2 months , He didn't say much , he didn't touch them , and it has been 3 weeks since our first and last sexual in counter . I
Can't stand the way they look so I can't exspect him to feel any different than I do.
I hope one day to be done with all this craziness .

I am on my 3rd month and glad to say almost completely healed.
I took the advice of someone who wrote inon there recovery. I took off all ointments, no more gauze and not bra. . Within a few days there was an immediate.
It has been a journey that I wish I never had gone on.
I must say the scars are ugly and I hope in time they get lighter.
Good luck on your recovery.

Barbie Girl you can buy Saline at any drug store. Ask the pharmacy where to find it do you get the right stuff. Cheer up it will get better:):)

I just wanted you to know I took your advice , no bra,no gauze, no ointment and my breast have done sooooooo much better . Thank you for sharing your story . I hope you are on your way to a complete recovery as well.

Hi Barbie Girl,
I know how you feel it feels like it will never get any better . I took the advice from Hiho and took off my bra and have not worn it for almost two week.My breast have done sooooooooo much better.. No bra , no ointment , no gauze just loose fitting tops and lot of air to the wound. I have started using Vitamin E on my incision area for the scaring to soon to tell on that. Hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel .It will just take some time. I had my lift May 28 and by the looks of where I still have about 2 to 3 more weeks before they might be healed completely. I too have felt so sad, ugly and depressed . Many of tears I have cried over what was suppose to be something to better myself. .
