Hi, I had a quick question, 1-2 days after the surgery - did you feel? were you able to walk around the house? I have an impo meeting 2 days after my surgery that I cant miss, I will be driven to and from there..do you think it would be possible?

I went home the day after my surgery and slept for three days! With all that anesthesia, pain meds and nausea - I wasn't able to stay awake for more than a few hours and was in no position to make any decisions. To answer your question, you are going to be very, very tired.

I'm so glad that you are feeling better! Are you back to all of your normal activities?

Not quite yet. I see the doctor early this week and am hoping he gives me clearance to start really working out. Other than that, I am pretty much back to my full routine. My right breast is just starting to 'fluff' :) I've also started wearing silicone sheets on my scars and honestly, they already feel softer and less tight!

I have one little ridge of scar tissue on my left nipple that stands out more than any of the other ones. Maybe I will have to try the silicone sheet. Where did you get yours?

Hi Ladies! Well, it's been six months since my surgery and I've never been happier! My scars are barely visible and the 'girls' are naturally soft again. I do experience pangs of pain now and again, but it passes as quickly as it comes on. And, from time to time I'll get a little pimple-looking hematoma on the suture line that will rupture and disappear pretty quickly. My only regret is that I didn't have this done 20 years ago! Take care!!

I don't even want to post my week 5 photos. I am so discouraged. My right breast looks like a deflating balloon. The left is fine. Sigh. I'm lopsided.

Have you talked to your surgeon to see what your options are once you are completely healed?

I'll see him next week. I know it's really too early to get discouraged. I'll post the 5 weeks photo and see what people think.

I really don't see anything that is overly concerning. The swelling does go down at different rates and the breasts will take on some odd formations as you go through the healing process. I hope that as the next couple of months pass that they settle into a shape that you are happy with.

Thank you. You are right. I am just overly sensitive about it lately...not sure why. It's a big adjustment!

I've added some Week 4 photos to my album. The irritation from the oils is almost all gone now and the girls are starting to soften up and fill out, although not at the same time! The left breast seems to be ahead of the right! :/ A small unpleasant and painful bruise on the left nipple is also starting to fade.

You look great! Isn't it amazing how they heal at different rates? I thought my doc was crazy when he said they would end up the same when they looked so different...but he was right! Glad you are doing well!
