Continuing to heal!

WORTH IT
I'm continuing to heal wonderfully. I have been massaging my scars with vitamin E oil. I had a follow-up last week and everything looks reallly good. I'm still getting a few zingers but overall doing well.
I go back for a follow-up in February 2014.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Your results look really good. I think you are the 2nd person on this board (that I have seen) that went to this PS. He does really good work! Congrats on the new you!
You are looking good how are you doing
I'm doing great! 7 1/2 weeks out and I feel wonderful. Mild soreness under both breast when I move the wrong way, but nothing I can't tolerate. I'm finally able to sleep on my stomach again, but not all night long. I've not had anymore neck, back or shoulder pain. I'm very happy I had this surgery.
Thats good im still sore but doing ok
you have a wonderful result, do you like your new smaller nipples?

Healing great!!

My open wounds have healed thanks to Aquaphor and guaze. I'm 4 weeks post op and feeling great. I have a slight cold but have never felt better.

Congrats, you look great! We had the same surgery date! It's great being on the small side. :)
It most definitely is. How are you healing?
I'm doing well ;)
wow! congratulations! what a tremendous difference!
Thank you! I have not regrets at all about having this surgery. I have no more back, neck or shoulder pain and my clothes fit so much better. I'm anxious to purchase a bra but still have some swelling (mainly in the right breast).
Ikr I keep looking at my old breast...lol and I'm just amazed because I'm only 5'4 and had all that extra carrying it around everyday.
Wow, you look great! I just had my BR on Dec. 11. I too feel like my stomach is bloated. I'm still getting used to the smaller size, but I know I will be very glad that I did this. I just had a doctor's appointment today and he wants to see me back in a month. I am encouraged by how well you've done!!!
All thanks honey this whole experience with real self has been great everyone has been really supportive. I'm so happy that I can help someone else along the way as we all take this BR journey together :)

You look good
Thanks!! How are you feeling? How's Dr. Larsen and staff treating you?
They are excellent I just love dr. Larsen♥♥♥
Thanks so much for the current picture, boob envy here!
Boob envy lol I'm afraid once the tape comes off I'm going to freak out over the scar
I thought so too. But it was smooth sailing. The tape came off smoothly and I only had one open wound from doing too much.
Yes I'm afraid of having a open wound myself I try not to do much but I can't help it..lol did dr.larsen take off your tape or did it come off by itself
They took it off in the office. I go back for a follow-up this Tuesday.
Me too I might see you there jonesboro right?
Yes, Jonesboro. My appt. is at 10:45.
9:45 I may be long gone well hope everything goes well :)
Same to you. Continued blessings on your healing.
You look great - Congrats on a successful surgery
Thank you very much!
