They look like a good size for you and they look great. I am glad you are getting better - I had the same problem and in the same place as you - they seem to be fairly common.

Thank you! Still not completely used to it...feel small sometimes lol. Did you do anything special to get the spot to close up, or did it just take time?

I just put some waterproof band aids on them that had antibiotic built into them. That way I could leave them on for a couple of days while I showered. They healed up nicely in about two or three weeks. Having smaller breasts does take some getting used to but I love them. The only person who thinks they are too small is my husband.

I am a little over a month post surgery and I was told not to wear underwire bras at all. So I've been wear soft cup bras that don't have underwire and I feel great in those because they don't irritate my scars. But do what's comfortable for you!

You look really great! What an amazing difference between a few weeks ago and now! I am so happy your infection is resolved! What's great is if you decide to, your doc can revise the scars and shrink them a bit. I think they say to wait 6 months for that. But you really don't need anything because everything looks like it's sorting itself out :)

Thank you. He did tell me that, but I think I've had enough of surgery for awhile!

I think you are right on that!! You look great and I'm thinking the same thing. Once I'm healed I don't know if I'd want to do anything else to my poor boobies :)

You look great, Michele! It really is such a relief to get all that weight off our chests, shoulders and neck! I can't wait to look more like you!

I have been lax about updating. I did develop an infection on one side, and honestly..i was SCARED and uncomfortable. My PS was awesome...very responsive and supportive and we have finally cleared the infection. My scars look so much better! Still have one small area that is not completely closed, but it's getting there.

Beleive it or not...sometimes I miss those big old boobies! But I am so much more comfortable! I can't beleive I can walk around without a bra. Although I still have weight to lose, I look so much smaller bodywise. I bought new bras this week - spent a total of 47.00 for 3 bras, less than the cost of one before!! Seems like I am a 38D. My PS thinks I may go down to a 36 after the swelling underneath subsides.

Still feeling some zingers, and still sore on my sides from lipo. Also, I can predict rain with my right boob!! It gets sore when it rains, haha. The scar on the right underside is still lumpy, but my left side is perfect! WIll post pics soon.
Thanks to all who worried and encouraged me.

WEll, my right breast is looking better, but still infected, so I have one more week of antibiotics. Saw my PS today; he was very encouraging. Pain is much better. Still really tired; that surprised me. I am a nurse and give that speech to all of my post ops; but I didn't realize how tired I'd be.
I do like the size of my new boobies though. So much more comfortable; can;t believe the difference. I can;t wait for everything to settle down so I can try on some cute bras.
