Incision scars (3weeks)

WORTH IT$4,000
Just thought I'd stop in and add some pics of my incisions since I finally took the bandages off. They still have some glue from the tape but they're not too bad. I can see a stitch in the left one but it's not extremely visible. My left scar looks a little better than my right IMO. Also, I think these pics make them look longer than they are because it's not a good view of my entire boob. I'm using Mederma scar cream on them for now and I cover them excessively when I tan. So far so good

Dr. Hedden and his entire staff were absolutely amazing from consultation to my post op visit. I found him here on RealSelf while researching the procedure and surgeons. I read so many wonderful reviews and he was only a couple hours away from home so I decided to schedule a consultation. My whole experience has been 100% perfect thus far. I would normally over think everything and worry so much but they really made this journey enjoyable and stress free for me. I could not have asked for a better surgeon, anesthesiologist, nurses, etc. I'm only 3 days post op and I've been pain free (med free for 2 days), feeling wonderful, and absolutely in love w my results so far. Can't wait to see the finished product. I will definitely be recommending Dr. Hedden to anyone considering breast augmentation.

Everything has been pretty smooth sailing still. Dr. Hedden said I could wear whatever bra I'd like at 2 weeks post op w sports bra at night for 6 months and I can take the bandages off my incisions at 3 weeks (think I'll do that today and post pics) and I can start using scar cream (Mederma). He said I could tan at 2 weeks as well as long as my incisions are covered well. I'm now in a 34DD at VS (body by Victoria is my fav). I have a post op appointment 3-31 (4weeks post). In the last few weeks we've had snow, rain, wind, and sun (up to almost 80degrees) Alabama weather lol. Can't wait for summer. Still no massages and still no lifting heavy objects. I have lifted my kids a few times when it was unavoidable. My chest muscles still get sore at times when I really pick myself but I try to take it easy as much as possible. The boobs are getting super squishy and I believe my right one has settled a little more than my left one. Everything has been peachy through my whole experience. I love them so much and so does my boyfriend lol. Most of my clothes still fit and most of them fit better. Not much more to update. Going to post a couple pics (PINK light push up 34DD and LG bikini top from walmart that I bought for tanning). Any questions feel free to ask! Happy healing and good luck RS friends.

They look like they've dropped quite a bit! Still waiting on mine to : ( I got 425cc silicone unders and was in a cup to begin with. I'm currently wearing a 34D but some of them are a little snug. I'm hoping once they drop maybe I will be a 34 DD too. Woo hoo lol. I tried on all of my old shirts and most of them still fit, however, only be fitted shirts fit me and look good. I had a lot of shirts that were loose around the waist that used to look good on me. But because I have wide hips and a smaller waist now that my chest is wider and my hips are wide when I wear shirts that are loose I just look fat on top lol.

I was wearing a 34D before mine settled so maybe you'll be the same. I have lots of tanks that I can't wear now because my side boob makes it fit stupid lol. I guess that's an ok problem to have. Every time I try on a shirt now and ask for my boyfriend's opinion he looks at my boobs and says "it looks great" lol I'll forever be asking "how do my boobs look in this shirt" lol.

Everything is listening up and softening more day by day. The only real soreness left is the muscles on the sides behind my boobs. Still relatively numb, especially my nipples. I can almost push them together but it's uncomfortable so I don't push it. Still rotating sports bras like a crazy lady. My left insicion is sore because of the god awful supportive contraptions I hafta carry my boobs around in all day. It's worth it though. Beauty is pain.

No massages until my 4 week appointment. I just have to wear the awful full coverage, super supportive bra morning noon and night for two weeks. At two weeks post op I can switch to regular bras during the day but still have to wear the sports bra at night for 6 months. The steri strips hafta stay on my incisions for 3 weeks. At 3 weeks post I can start putting scar gel (mederma) on them. That's about it. I'm still icing to help w swelling and the soreness in my side muscles.

Well most people knew I was doing it way ahead of time. My dad still doesn't know (awkward convo to have w my daddy lol) but I'm usually wearing loose tshirts when my dad stops by. I always wore a super padded bra which made me look like a small 34 B. But I went bra shopping today (Dr cleared me to wear any bra at 2 weeks and said I'll be down to actual size) and I was measured a 34DD @ Victoria's Secret. I'm going to try to post an update later tonight w pics and what not. I go for my 4 weeks follow up w Dr. Hedden 3-31. I'm very eager to meet w him again and discuss massaging and whatever else he has to say lol.

Lol my dad still hasn't noticed. I'm not sure he would mention it if he did notice though. But I think by summer it will be pretty obvious lol. 34aa (super padded bra looked like a full a/small b lol) to a 34dd.

They look super small...
July 3, 2015
You look great! They are perfectly proportionate to your body. Not too big, and not too small, just right! Congrats!!
