3 WEEKS POST-OP

Staples and stitches ALL OUT, wound tape ALL OFF. One more week with binder and I can switch to Spanx. Finally functional (sort of)! Still stuck in a slouch to protect my problem spot and give my skin time to stretch, but can finally go for a short walk, cook an easy dinner, do (very) light housework, and work from my home office. Results slowly but surely improving-my scar has turned red but I learned that it is part of the process. I have just started using Scar Away Silicone tape. I am usually allergic to adhesive, but so far the silicone tape feels good. I feel more secure/comfortable with it on because it makes me feel protected without the annoyance of regular tape. I’ll keep everyone posted on how it works. As far as meds, I take 1 Hydrocodone per day (half in morning, half in afternoon), half a soma once a day (if needed-not everyday), and sometimes Tylenol PM (because I still have to sleep inclined with pillows under my knees to protect the 3.5 inch section of my incision that is still healing ????). More than I expected, but I’m not gonna beat myself up about it. I get a little better everyday, so I’m gonna have to just deal with this one day at a time...

2 WEEKS POST-OP PHOTOS

Everybody heals differently, but this is where I’m at.

2 WEEKS POST-OP PART TWO: HEALING

Incredible. With the exception of 3.5 inches of incision at my pubic hair, all of my incisions are as thin as paper cuts. I don’t know hoe Colgrove did it. Some parts of which are all ready barely visible at two weeks. I'll post pics, but ignore the bruising and adhesive gunk. Also note: the scars look darker in my photos than in reality. My boobs are still high and a little squared off. I'm sure it'll take at least a couple of months for them to round-out. The right one needed a small amount of lipo for symmetry before the lift, so it's temporarily higher/harder and more sore than the left. My belly button is still healing but it looks amazing. For 2 weeks, it was outlined in black stitches so close together that they looked like they were put there by a sewing a machine. When Robin removed them, it looked as if there was no surgery. I don't believe it will scar at all. That said, as a result of my tight skin (and possibly rushed mobility), the 3.5 inch center of my incision is healing slowly and messily. It looked scary and I posted a pic of it as a question on Realself, but the doctors told me to quit trippin. I’m not worried anymore because it's healing quickly. So far, the results are exceeding my expectations.

I just had my surgery two days ago with Dr. Robert Colgrove. My sister (breast aug) and an acquaintance (TT) had great work done and referred him to me. Also, after seeing 6 different doctors, he had the LOWEST TT scars (I wanted mine hidden at my pubic hair) and the most competitive price (30% off). I only consulted with board certified practitioners, so it came down to style and price. He didn't try to befriend/charm me/sell me a procedure when I met with him. he was professional, straight forward and clinical. However, on the day of surgery he and his team had a great bedside manner. They did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable and prepared. The nurses (Carmen and Robin) were caring and attentive, and I didn't feel rushed at all even though I didn't wake up in recovery until after the surgery center closed. When I got home, Dr. Colgrove even called to check on me. The next day, they answered my calls immediately and were helpful with my post-op issues. I love the results. I'm only 2 days post-op and my TT scar is SUPER LOW and THIN. My breast lift already looks great. I can't wait to see everything after a few weeks. I'll keep posting pics through recovery.
