Things are going well. My left breast is not dropping as quickly as my right but the left is my dominant side and from what I've read from others on RS that's pretty common. I also had to massage more vigorously per PS instructions because my left breast in particular wasn't as soft as she would have liked at my one month post op. Both breast are now very soft and do not feel 'fake' at all. I'm slowly started to run and lifted free weights again. My stomach still is sore after sitting or driving for extended periods of time. I do feel great about the way my body looks but am struggling with not feeling like myself physically. Trying to be patient and grateful for a relatively smooth recovery so far. Anyone else feel like they are having more trouble with sinus/allergy/colds during recovery?

So happy and feeling great! Really felt like week four was a major turning point.

Healing right along and moving more like myself. Almost standing straight. Feel about 80% overall. Got all the glue off and pleating from lift continues to resolve. Still some abnormal muscle soreness and breasts are very sensitive but not any real pain. I've had a bit of a cold this week and coughing and sneezing don't hurt my abs. Thank goodness the cold didn't happen the first week post! That would have been awful. I'm still wearing the binder more than spanx. It seems to keep the swelling down best. Also I press my hand on my stomach when I cough or sneeze and that helps.

Did your dr take off the tape or did you do it yourself? My dr told me that I can do it myself if I wanted to but I'm kind of nervous that the scabs will come off...I think I'm just as nervous to have her do it...lol
My surgery date was 5-5-15. I'm still a little hunched over, are you?

Mine was surgical glue. She said after two weeks the surface skin should be closed and I could start peeling the glue off. I waited closer to 3 weeks and it was fine. I was nervous too though. I have dissolvable sutures inside for TT and breast lift. She said I could start massaging TT scar to encourage sutures to dissolve. I'm going to wait a little longer before I start that to be on the safe side. I'm almost standing straight at this point but was still pretty hunched at 2 weeks post.
