This week has been so much better. I’ve been sleeping in my bed and back to work. While I don’t have all my strength, I am able to do more around the house. I still have a bit of sensitivity, but they are beginning to feel more like a part of me instead of something I’m wearing.
I had another great visit with Dr. Gelfant. I was afraid to get the tape off but it was truly nothing. Dr. Gelfant was patient with me and gave me great insight into what the next few weeks would be like. He showed my husband how to change the tape going forward and again answered all my questions. Even the ones I forgot to ask in office and email him about. Looking forward to some decent exercise this week!!
I’m super happy with how they are looking. Incisions look amazing and the shape is starting to drop and round out a bit. Overall super happy.

7 days post op and feeling only a little better. No real change in the shape or feel of my new friends. My range motion has improved so that’s something. I’ve been getting a sharp burning pain under my left arm and into my left breast. I spoke with my PS and he felt it was likely temporary nerve pain and suggested adding on Ibuprofen,.. I’ve taken it twice so far and seems to be helping. I’ve decreased pain meds from every 4 hours to every 6. Night and early morning are the worst.
Despite all of the recovery I’m going though,.. I am still so excited to see them take shape. I’m also super thankful for Dr. Gelfant who has been available, compassionate, and knowledgeable getting me through some tough times. Seriously an amazing doc!
