Scar tissue?

I have very firm, knotty feeling tissue on one breast along the incision under the nipple all the way down to the T section. Is this scar tissue? Or should I be worried about fat necrosis? My follow up isn't for well over a month from now. Anyone experience this? I have it to a lessor extent on the other breast. The side that has more knotty or hard feeling areas has not rounded out or dropped on the underside of breast and is still boxy looking.

Old swimsuits still fit

I was hoping my old suits would be baggy, but they still fit. They do for more nicely though. I no longer have to hoist up the heavy breast and have tissue spill out the top. Yay for no more digging straps. Not sure I'll be triangle bikini size though.????

Showers, Sports bras and Scar treatment

I can now shower, wear my own sports bras and start scar treatment. Went to the doctor Monday and he said everything's healing just fine. He said I'm a should be okay to start driving. I did start driving and everything was fine. The zip front sports bras I bought for after surgery didn't work out they were too tight and small. So I had to go bra shopping. It was a little depressing since I couldn't find anything at Victoria's Secret that fit me even after the reduction. I ended up getting a size large Champion sports bra at Target and a small Hanes Wireless bra at Kohls. I also found a Puma sports bra size medium at Marshall's that fit. It looks like at the moment I may be a 34d or even 34 DD. That part was depressing. I was hoping to be a 32 or even 34 C and wear size small bralettes. I think since my breast shape is still wide and full I require a larger cup size even though the breast volume has been reduced quite a bit. The doctor has me starting dermatix Ultra scar gel and will have me use that for a few weeks before starting silicone sheets. The plastic surgery office sold the cream for $50 but I purchased it on Amazon for $36. You do have to let it dry 3 to 4 minutes before putting clothes on, and I apply it twice a day. The doctor also wants me to continue using hibiclens soap on the breast daily. After my first shower I did have a little bleeding at the T section of my right breast. I'm feeling really good and feel like I am about ready to go back to work. I asked the doctor if I could go back next Friday and he said that was fine. He did say if I can get off of my feet that will reduce any swelling. I noticed when I was on my feet for quite a bit during the day I did get sore and swell up that evening. I feel good about the surgery and how I'm recovering. I still go back and forth wondering if my breasts are still too large and if I should have had more taken off. When I compare the before and after pictures I do feel that they are a lot smaller though. Once I'm back to work and doing my normal daily activities I'll be able to gauge if I have achieved the desired relief of the neck and shoulder pain I was hoping for. Still not sleeping through the night. I started wearing a mouthguard and still taking the Tylenol PM and getting a good 6 hours straight sleep. The mouth guard helps with the teeth clenching it's just a $2 moldable Sports mouth guard from Wallmart. I tend to clench my teeth when I'm stressed out.
