Had my breasts done 6 weeks ago,the best thing i have ever done! Everythibg you are experiencing is normal,ive been there. My breasts have been taped for 6 weeks now and my incisions look beautiful! Taping definately works. Dont worry too much about buying stuff now like scarcream for after surgery,i wasted a lot of money doing
that. Just get it done first,then follow the directions of yr surgeon,who knows best. I bought Bali Comfort bras,they are great,dont know if u get them there though. Genie bra also great. The sportsbras i bought i couldn wear as the stitching hurt my incisions. These soft bras seem to work best,i live in them.Good luck.
I am a flight attendant and i can honestly say i was only able to do things like open aircraft doors and close,open overhead stowages, push ,pull heavy meal carts with comfort and without pain towards the end of 4 weeks. Be careful and good luck!
Take it from me,what happened is sooooo normal! I didnt even want to look when the dr took mine off and said i should take a look at my new breasts. My friend had to take my bra off for me and put it back on for a week when i took a bath and i almost fainted the first 2 weeks when i had to clean the incisions. Every time! And i am a girl who can look at pictures of a decomposing corpse with no problem( I studied Criminology). Dont worry! It will pass. I examined every mm of my breasts 20 times a day after the stitches came out at 10 days. Is that redder than an hour before? Is that wound opening? Is that leakage and infection?? I drove myself insane. Then i decided to listen to my dr who said everything was fine and normal and i just relaxed and let go. I am at 6 wks post op now and i STILL hve scabs where my drains were. My T zones were open until 4 weeks, the scabs only fell off last week. Once again: what you are feeling is perfectly normal. But you need to just let your body do its healing and be patient. Make sure you get enough Vit C,dont overdo things physically,get plenty of rest and let go. Your pics look beautiful,btw. The dr did an amazing job. I recently had a look at my friends breasts a year after her surgery and the scars are so thin and white,you dont even see them the puckering and redness are just part of healing. Take care and i know when you look back in a few weeks time,you will also think its the best thing you have ever done!
