Breast Lift Without Implants

Well let me say this was one of my easiest surgeries yet. Really nothing to keep updating about. The surgeries worst part was the first week of pain, then just waiting for the healing to start. By 12 days post op, I was all healed on the exterior. The swelling still went on for about a month. Now that I am almost 3 months post op there is no more swelling. I did have my sleeve, and now I am just waiting for the pounds to melt away so that I can see what implant size will be best for me...

Well I am 12 days post up. Feeling great. My derma bond started flanking off and I would just gently tug on it to see if it were ready to come off, I never just peeled it off. I have been using ointment on my entire incision just to help the healing process and to moisturize it. I do still have a few sutures that rub on my clothing and are irritated because of it. The doctor said they were dissolvable, so just leave them alone... I haven't taken any pain pills since 1 week post op, because I really haven't had any pain. I do still take ibuprofen everyday, just so the swelling is minimal. I am very happy with the lift, and I think he did an amazing job to give me nice clean incision lines. The derma bond was amazing, and I would recommend it over anything. Screw steri strips!!!! Never again will I ever allow anyone to put those on me! They just peeled my skin off when I had them for my tummy tuck.

I have to say though that since a lot of the swelling is gone, I know now for sure I will get implants. Because they are small. No regrets though... I've included some new photos...

So last night I changed the dressings per my PS. I was not happy, pulling tape off of skin that is sensitive and hurting doesn't make for a fun time. My husband did help me get everything off though. I then was able to hop in and take a quick shower. My husband washed everything for me, but I didn't get my breasts wet. I was too scared to. He is such a good man though. He takes such good care of me when I have had to have surgery. He is very patient with me even though I am not the nicest person when going through this process. I took a couple pictures to show you ladies. I think he did an amazing job of sewing me up. Everything is even and perfect. I was SO HAPPY he did not use steri strips on me. I'm so allergic to them and they just peel my skin off, not to mention the blisters it gives me. He did close everything with sutures and durma bond? I think it's called.
