Nearing the three month mark

I know I haven't been updating this for a long time, I just feel that not much has changed. The scars seem to be healing all right - still a bit slow in my opinion. I've seen this said before that between 2 and 3 and 7 and 8 months the scars look their worst - I do hope that this is the case.
I battled so many split stitches in between that I lost count. The horizontal incision under my right breast still looks angry and ugly, I am not sure if this will develop into a keloid or not. Comparing my scars with others they seem way too red.
Despite that negative part (I always knew there would be big scars) I do not mind them, I am just a bit bummed. I would not change it for anything else, and love love love them. Worth the pain, and worth it even if there will be very visible scars.

7 weeks - photo update
awake123October 31, 2013
So I've been stricken with a bad cold and have had a lot to do in general during the past few weeks. Posting a photo update from 7 and a half weeks - front and the sides. My initial big stitch abscess on the right breast is healed, you can see a darker spot there. The breasts are soft, all the swelling is gone. Wearing bras (underwire) is comfortable and gives no pain. And I realised that the 'pencil test' is no longer possible for me! So pleased with the results despite slight asymmetry - but that's what I had before and on a far greater scale - the difference now is absolutely minor. Can't wait for the scars to fade more! So happy :)

Hey amsterdam girl...your lift has turned out great. Your breasts look more symmetrical than your earlier pics. scars will definitely fade..though they look pretty good for just a month out. Are you using any scar aids?

I have a scar cream from the clinic, I've been using it, on and off. On and off because at times when the stitches spat out, I had to stop and let the skin heal deep enough. It has aloe vera gel, arnica montana extract and jojoba seed oil among the other things. So overall, I think I've used the scar cream for maybe 2-3 weeks now.

Hello awake, you look wonderful!! Doing the exact same next week. Did you get any nipples feeling yet?

They react to temperature sometimes. Not to touch, though - I can't feel anything even if I pinch them quite hard. I had limited sensitivity in them already before, though, so chances are that it either will not come back, or will take a very long time. My PS said it may take well over a year for the nerve connections to restore - so I haven't given up hope :)
