POD 26
It definitely took me a solid 3 1/2 weeks before I felt 99% normal again. I have not yet started exercising but will be starting walking today/this week. My PS releases to film exercises at 3 weeks however my research on RS revealed slow transition is best so I waited purposefully until the 4th week. Also my breasts at the "stress points" are still healing. They are also at 95% I would say (pictures above). I have not yet started scar therapy. Worlds are still closing and I'm going to do a little bit of research on average start time. I'm sure it's when all wounds/scabs close an dim not there yet. I'm finally out of my surgical bra as of POD 25. I am using the under armor protégée DD (which I could only tolerate as of POD 25 and purchased playtex wireless comfort flex bras from target. I am wearing Hanes cozy all day bra to sleep. I am NOT yet sleeping on my stomach and tolerate side sleeping in short burts but long term pressure on my boobs including leaning on my elbows like over a counter or something causes muscle tightness that I'm not comfortable with so still avoiding chest pressure type positions while pushing my boundaries slowly.
Hi by has not yet played with them. It's not painful but it's not yet feeling good to squeeze in my opinion.
Nipples sooooooooooooooooooooooo sensitive. I HS the shooting nipple pains for a day or two POD 20 that resolved with Motrin but I definitely had to take Motrin those were killer.
Well still healing and mosying along. So glad to see the other AugustBoobs doing great!

POD 10 slept flat for first time since sx
My boobs definitely tell me when I overdo it. Last night I took a muscle relaxer and Motrin but still couldn't get comfortable on my usual
Four pillows so finally I took 1 away then 2 away then 3! And I had the best seep in 2 weeks. I still woke up with morning boobs lol but not as trick hard right. This has definitely been a journey that continues. Now I'm eager for the incisions to heal so I can start scar therapy. For those on the other side at how many PODs were u able to start scar therapy?

1 week POV
I was disappointed that I have some open areas along my incision but I was told and red that it is to be expected. I asked my PS why the unexpected change from our discussion to 350 ... He said that because the mentor impact is shaped that there is a conversion involved to get the same effect. Let me say that I am very happy with the size. It's the old me with my padded push up VS without the VS lol.
Pain is down but sleeping is still very uncomfortable. I normally slept comfortably flat with no pillows. I have fined from 4 pillows to 2 pillows but it's still a struggle to get comfortable. Tonight I'm actually thinking about not using a muscle relaxer. My Braxton Hicks of the boob has mellowed but it still occurs when I am moving around a lot. I'm still trying to actively drink a lot of water and I am still one he 30 day helpmeheal postop meds.
My next POV will be on 3 weeks. I'm hoping to look like some of your 2 week pictures. I'm very eager as I'm sure you can understand for my suture lines to fully heal and close. Now my fear is a skin infection :-(. The worst looking one is the 6 o clock on my right nipple it is shallow and it was cleansed with betadine and steristrip reapplied. It stung for the first time when I showers tonight so I removed the wet steristrips air dried dotted with and ointment and covered with steristrip. :-((

Provider Review
Dr Paul McCluskey
This was my second consultation. My first consultation was more thorough, however, I had to pay for the time he gave me. The second consultation was free and put in between other appointments, so it took a long time only because I was waiting.... the Dr won 2016 PS of the year and is 50% cheaper than my first consultation. I do trust him. I will definitely keep you in the loop for followups on that ;-)
