So its been 3 months. They are so soft. I am very happy with them so far aside from rippling I have near my sternum (which I can feel but you really can't see) I don't care for that but it is what it is. I kinda wish they were bigger some days but thats most women lol. My left is still slightly higher but it doesn't bother me much.The stattice is doing great and I have not had any hardness so thank goodness for that. My scars are still red but I haven't put anything on them so maybe after I do they will look better.

I just had my 4th surgery aug 19th 2020 for recurrent cc. I didnt have strattice but I have galaform which is very similar.i just got a prescription bc it feels like I'm getting cc for the 4th time in my left breast.

Dang I'm so sorry. Cc is so horrible I've heard some surgeons have ultrasound therapy they use if they catch it early. It sounded promising but no one in my area had that. Good luck I hope they can keep it from getting bad.

Thank you for posting your experience with strattice as there isn't many reviews on it period it truly helps! How are you holding up now are they still soft? (im about to do my 3rd revision due to CC as well and I am using alloderm which is the same as strattice just alloderm is human skin tissue instead) I hope it works! super nervous!!!!

I am just over 4 weeks post op. I feel great and am happy so far with the progress. They are soft and don't hurt when I hug people or lay on my stomach. My surgeon cleared me for most activities. My nerve pain kicked my but last week and it was pretty bad. I have a good bit of numbness near my left arm pit and just under that shoulder so I knew the nerves were gonna hurt when they started waking up. My left side is still higher and I know they will settle far more but I am very happy with my results. Strattice is well worth the price so far.

I am finally feeling better. My pain is okay. Aside from some horrid muscle pain under my arm pits near my ribs to my shoulder blades. I have a lot of nerve pain. They are softer and I am massaging as directed. I look forward to them dropping and looking normal. Although because of the cc they haven't looked normal in 2 years so I am trying to be patient. My left side is the stubborn one as it had the most scar tissue and needed the most work. It was also the main side that hurts. I am happy to answer any questions about strattice since there are not many reviews for it.

Congratulations, you've made it past the 2 week mark!! My surgeon told me that if patients experience any complications its usually within the first 2 weeks.
I have a couple of questions so far:
1. How long did you have drains? And did you have alot of fluid output?
2. How long will it take for them to drop into their final position?
3. How would you describe your muscle pain? And was/is it "manageable" on pain meds?... this is one area I am worried about. I was really sore after just having a capsulectomy.
Praying for your recovery and for you to have beautiful results!!

I had drains for 7 days. The fluid out put was not to bad. It started with about 60 cc per side daily. Then down to about 23 after 4 days then basically none at day seven. It will probably take about 3 month to see the best final results though I see a big difference now. They are so soft and before this my breast were Rick hard and hurt. The pain was definitely manageable with pain meds. The 1st 2 weeks were the worst but still manageable. If you have any more questions let me know. As of now I am so thankful for strattice and my wonderful surgeon.
SO HAPPY for your success so far!
