Week 2 and Scars

WORTH IT$1,500
A few days ago I was able to take the tape off my scars and see them for the first time. Because I had my BA done through the bellybutton, my doc had to guess as to where my fold would be in order to place the scars. I think she did a pretty good job of the placement! I'm putting neosporin on them twice a day, and they seem to be healing well. I can't wait until I can use some scar-reducing lotion. I use a mix of carrot seed oil and argon oil on my breasts and chest, and it seems to be helping moisturize. I'm still happy with my decision!

Week 1
robynlynn83April 2, 2015
I'm a little late, but I had my first post-op appointment on Tuesday. They took out the stitches, said I'm healing well and to keep wearing a compression bra for another 2 weeks. I pulled a muscle in my left breast doing sit-ups the other day, so it's been a bit sore, but I'm just taking it easy on the strenuous workouts for now. Hopefully it heals soon.
I couldn't be happier with my decision to get them removed! I absolutely love my natural breasts, and so does my boyfriend. I feel much more confident about myself. That could also be because of age and being more mature than when I was unhappy with my body, but either way I feel great!
I can't wait to go bra shopping, but I'm holding out for more fluff. The doctor said I could start wearing regular bras around 3 weeks, so I'll definitely go shopping then! Although, I have to say, it's super comfortable to wear a sports bra all day long. I might not completely give that up ;)

congrats on your surgery! I have a consultation set up for the same procedure at the end of this month. hearing your story has been a huge help, thank you so much for sharing. How long did she say you had to wait to pick things up? (I have 2 young kids, that's why I ask!)

Thank you! She didn't say; but I didn't ask either. I took things easy for about a week. I tried not to lift anything over 10 lbs for that time frame. I do feel some sharp pains when I do certain things, like use my arms to lift myself out of bed, but it goes away quickly. She did tell me not to do any weights at the gym for a few days.

Still some liquid that jiggles around in my left breast, but otherwise I'm feeling good!

You look so good, I'm praying my results come out as good as yours!! Have fun with that new body, so excited for you!! Just wondering, did your ps say he wanted you to wear a compression garment? Mine just said a tight sports bra for a few weeks. & do you know if ps removed capsule? I'm scheduled next week & I am all kinds of nervous all of a sudden.

Thanks! She did tell me to wear the compression bra they gave me for a week. The bra is pretty much a tight sports bra, so I think they'd do the same thing. She just wanted to keep it all tucked in until they got some shape back. They didn't remove the capsule. I don't know why not, but she said my body would eventually get rid of it on it's own. You'll do great during surgery, plus look and feel great afterward! Good luck!

Thanks so much! My capsule isn't being removed either & my PS said the same thing. I'm hoping for the best... But congrats to you!

you look like you never had implants in. How about your size and shape?Are you the same as pre B/A or smaller enough?
March 31, 2015
At first, I thought I was smaller now than pre-BA but they've fluffed up since then. Now I'm pretty sure I'm very close to what I was pre-BA. I'm excited to go get fitted and find out exactly what size I am!
