2 months and one day updated photos of my breast aug and lift! Healing is going great. Spit a stitch in two spots but they are both healing. Can’t wait to see them in 2 more weeks! So happy I did this and in love with the results my surgeon gave me!

Look great! Sorry to hear about the split stitches. Has your PS advised how to address them for quicker healing? My own PS recommend covering these kind of areas with Aquaphor and/some kind of nonstick dressing. If you Google the words “wound moist or dry “ you’ll see current wound care advice is to keep your wounds moist (although not wet) and covered for quicker healing. This is a opposed of the olden days when they used to believe that open air and oxygen was good for healing. It’s now believe (by many) that allowing your wounds to develop into hard scabs can create additional scarring. Hope you don’t mind my two cents on the subject. And wishing you a smooth healing… :-)

Thank you! The spitting stitches are well on there way to healing and no longer an issue. My surgeon had me use a antibiotic ointment and a non stick dressing and they have been healing very nicely! You look great too!!

8 weeks out

So. I’m 2 months out and feeling great and healing great. I’ve done 3 rounds of embrace scar therapy on my right arm, me took it off yesterday. My left arm still has it, but I’m putting one photo so you can see what it looks like. I’ve had it on for 4 days and it does get a little dirty around the edges. I also have a small piece of mepitac tape over the incision near the elbow because I had a scab and didn’t want to place the embrace over it. My right armpit is a bit red, but I think it looks great and as it should at this point. It’s a nice, smooth scar that doesn’t feel too tight and I’m thrilled to see how the left arm doing under the embrace!
I’ll check in with the boobs next! (Btw I love them!)

Photo update!

Healing has been going so well I truly believe part of the reason is I was provided all the tools by my surgeon that I needed to have a successful recovery, and I followed all recommendations!! My surgeon has been constantly available to answer my questions, and always gets back to me quickly with answers and never seems bothered that I’ve asked what I feel like is 100+ questions. I seriously couldn’t be happier with my choice! I’ve attached current photos to have before photos since I am starting a scar therapy treatment on Wednesday! Excited to see how my healing progress’s as I am so pleased with how it has gone thus far!!

Hi! What a difference from our before. Your scars ok your breast are healing well. You possibly may be spitting sutures? My incisions looked red and irritated as well. Your arms look great too! Can't wait to see ur final result

Yes a huge difference. I spit a suture in one spot on my arm and one spot on my right breast but both spots are healing well. Ie started embrace scar therapy on my arms and am excited to see those results. I take the first strips off on Friday. Thank you!
