Eve thing is going well! I’ve begun massage, and continue taking bromeliads as I feel like there still bruising around the nipples.
I’ve also started putting Truth Vitamin C Cream in my scars.
I feel like the right has dropped I. Well, but the left still needs to drop more. Fingers crossed it will and soon!

Congrats on your surgery! Look great! Just curious did your PS Recommend the vitamin C cream for your scars

Sorry my message got cut off before finishing. I was going to say that although the vitamin C is great for skin and older scars some PS would not recommend vitamin C for one month old incisions. Vitamin C is acidic and could cause an inflammatory response or irritation to the incisions which is not good for scar healing. Scar therapies such as silicone gels/sheeting or even Aquaphor (non-antiseptic ointment) less likely to cause irritation to the incisions. The less irritation the better those scars will heal according to wound car experts. In any case I’d be sure to get clearance from your PS regarding any products you put on your incisions. Good luck and happy healing! :-)

Thank you! I actually did ask him about Vitamin C, and he said that was fine:)

Yes it’s interesting how different PS have different opinions.... Good luck and wishing you the best! :-)

the Truth Vitamin C was actually developed for burn victims.

True vitamin C is believed to help burn victims (especially those that have lost skin) because it helps promote collagen growth. On the other the other hand too much collagen growth is what causes hypertrophic scarring, which is why some PS would not recommend it for a surgical incisions. Good luck.

I posted my pictures above. And I apologize for my typos in previous updates....I was typing on my phone, and there doesn't seem to be an option here to update your reviews! Perhaps this could be fixed.
At any rate, I'm 3 weeks post procedure, and posted my pics above. Glue is off, and the PS says I am healing well! Scars are barely visible, especially compared to the last lift procedure. Found out at my follow-up my implants are cohesive gel....don't know why I didn't think to ask this before, but I am very relived to know there is no chance of silicone leakage.
Feeling back to normal, and am back to me regular exercise routine, minus push-ups, which still feel weird.
I'll do another update next week, my PS and I are both hoping they drop a bit more so that my nipples point more upward. He said he used the "pursestring" procedure, and sometimes that pulls the nippes down a little. HOPEFULLY they settle some more!
