Loving my new profile! Did my follow up last week and was cleared to take showers, woo hoo. I was told the tape should start falling off, which it has. I've picked at it too. I shouldn't have, my areolea area that I exposed didn't look quite ready to be exposed. I bought ScarGuard from the docs office to help all my incisions heal better. Doc told me to start massaging them down and also from the sides in to give better cleavage about 5 minutes 2 times a day. I looked up 4 or 5 different bra size measuring guides and I measure a DD!! I didn't think that was how big I was but I'm not complaining. Love the way they are looking!! Thank you Dr. Chen!

Hey there! It's been a year since you had your procedure. How are you doing now? It'd be great to have an update from you :)

Sorry for the gross pics but I still have bandages on from surgery. Still sore and they feel really tight. One nipple is more sensitive than before and one has no feeling. Hope that resolves. They also feel like they ride up to my collar bone but they should drop over time. So far I think I like the 400cc decision. I can do most of my daily routine except I'm not lifting heavy things. Hurts to bend over and still sleeping on my back. I'm extra careful about hitting bumps in the road, ouch!!

Day after surgery, my stomach is bloated. I read up on it and learned it could be from the anesthesia, pain medication and antibiotics. Hoping it resolves very soon!

Are you drinking lots of water? Have you been able to have a bowel movement yet? I started drinking Smooth Move tea on the first day, and then 2 more cups the following day and that did the trick.

I have been drinking a lot of water. I'll see if I can find that tea. Thanks for the tip. How is your recovery going?

It's been going pretty good....I went off of all my pain meds today, including Tylenol. I'm trying to prep my body for my next surgery on Wednesday. It's been a little rough, but not too bad.

Good luck! I took my last pain pill early this morning.
