Almost 8 weeks since they were taken out.

First of all, I only just found all the messages that were sent. I forgot there was more ways to check in. I think I answered everyone.
I am almost completely healed. Just one small area under one breast that keeps pulling open. Very small tho and I am sure the band on my bra is rubbing it.
I am posting one photo, trust me I am not good at taking breast selfies. I'll post better ones soon. It's about gone but there are little red lines going around my nipple and down that front seam. I'm thinking that's where the stitches were underneath because they are so perfectly spaced.
The puckering is all but gone and the scars are fading. I have a few numb spots and hope nerves will be kicking back on soon.
As I was rubbing in the oil I kept noticing slight pokes here and there so one night I got out a pair tweezers thinking it was just a scab that was raised and pulled it out. It was a tiny stitch. Then (my bad ) I searched for every one and pulled them out. Sadly only found a few. They were very tiny and I am sure were done doing their job. I hope my doctor doesn't read this as I'm sure they'd rather I not pick.

Wow you look amazing! I want to remove my implants and get a lift, but it’s so expensive where I live. I saw two doctors, one is charging 14,000 & the other is close to 15,000. That’s way more then when I got my implants.

I saw the doctor today. I was concerned since I was not completely healed yet. Since I've had a lot of regular surgeries for my RA I know I'm normally healed by now. Meaning no scabs or drops of blood. Turns out with breast surgery your skin is pulled, its thinner, plus there are dissolving stitches under the skin. That is why the skin appears puckered and sometimes kinda oozes or bleeds a tiny bit. That's just the body getting rid of those stitches (sometimes it will look like a pimple but a little stitch will come out) so it takes longer to totally be closed up. The doctor was very pleased with the progress I am making, he took some new photos and sent me home with a couple before and after photos. I will post them just so you can see how dense my breast were before...therefore giving the doctor plenty of material to work with. Loving my results.

Small issue

LJB6660
Had a slight scare today. Was looking at the underside of my breast this morning I noticed one spot that seemed to be pulling apart and maybe infected. I took a photo called the doctor and sent it via email. The nurse said didn't look to bad but doctor Rand wanted to see me, just to make sure. I went right in and after the doctor was able to see it he said I was fine. I'll post the photo I sent. The doctor stressed I should call with any concerns and I'm glad I picked a doctor who feels this way.
