Still happy

My nipples are still very sensitive. Everything is looking very normal. Only the two under spots have a little scab. Doctor told me to wait about a week to start with the tape for the scars. Feeling pretty great. Have been slightly active in the bedroom since day 10, each time is getting easier, just keeping it short and careful. Loving the results and can't wait to be healed completely and on to the next one.

Happy and excited for you! I have a few (!!!) questions. :) Did you also have a tummy tuck...or just the breast lift? Did you end up doing the implants? Did Dr Hayes sew to your fascia, or do an "internal bra"? Thanks!! :)

Only a breast lift was done during this procedure and the lift alone was the price of 8 grand. Dr Hayes did do the internal bra, it's my knowledge that he does these on both implants and lifts.
I will be doing the implants once my scars heal!

Thank you so much for your quick reply and I hope your healing journey goes fast and easy!

Is the $8 grand for just the lift or both?

2 weeks, tape is off

Caring339229
I took my tape off earlier and got some pictures. Looked much worse than it was. I thought for sure I might have some of what I've seen a lot of women have and the skin splitting or oozing right at the T incisions under the boob. So thankful they weren't. I was scared pulling off the band aid though, at first I thought it would be like my pimple patches, which it is, but because there was so much fluid in them that dried they were more stuck to me than I had expected. A little stinging and I thought I was going to pull off scabs and reopen wounds but everything looks great!
Also, someone had asked me if my incisions were numb and I didn't think so because the ones around my nipples are not. However all the others are and it's definitely weird not to be able to feel them. Hopefully the numb goes away soon. Will take some better pictures tomorrow, after the skin becomes normal again an not wrinkled from the band-aids.

I’m thinking of having this done, my 1st consultation is tomorrow. How terrible is the pain from this procedure?

Itchy

Caring339229
The last few days have been pretty easy. A little bit of pains here and there but every day is getting better. I'm pretty itchy though. Swelling seems to be gone mostly but comes back a little but in the nipples.
Today everything seems very nice, no swelling. But it does feel like my boobs are hard, could just be because I'm not used to them being tight and bunches together.
I missed my in person post op but did it over the phone. Doc said as long as there was no extra swelling, redness or infection that I wouldn't need to see him again until 6 week post op. He said he would take off the band aid at this visit but if I'm comfortable taking them off I could do it on Monday, tomorrow, or I can go back in this week to have them do it. I am a little nervous to take them off but I think they might be the same kind of bandage that is like a pimple patch. He said they are band aid brand hydro seal, which is the same stuff they use on the pimple patches. Those come off pretty easily so I'm not worried.
I wanted to put another on after and he said I would need to wait a week at least but then I could or I can just do tape. I asked why tape got scarring. He said with the moisture, prevention of moving, applying pressure, all seems to help with the visibility of scaring.
Oh another thing, putting deodorant on, I had bought this spray natural deodorant months ago just to try out and I love it. I think it's really great for this too because it's super easy to apply, no pressure on the arm pits, no residue, no scent or chemicals to get into the incisions. Thought I would share!
Oh and the pictures are from yesterday when I had a bit of swelling in my left nipple. The gauze under is because the bandaid in that spot is leaking little bit of fluid and I don't want it to get on my clothes.
