3 Months Post-Op

I went for my 3 month check up. I'm healing well, BUT...they are definitely different sizes. As you can see by the pictures, the left size is quite a bit bigger than the right. It's not as noticeable in a sports bra and clothing, however I will not be able to find a regular bra. This was sad news...because he said I will need to have another surgery to even them out. The right side also has a "hollow" spot which he said he can fill in [with fat]. I'm still thrilled to be smaller-breasted, but disappointed that my journey isn't over.

Also, I don't know if this means anything....I occasionally get sharp pains inside my breast - like under my nipple (this tissue inside). I still have no feeling in them, but wonder if the nerves are coming back....and the pain twinges is that happening. Anyone have this sensation...and did you get feeling back in your nipples after a FNG? I'm also still numb on the left side of my left breast. My doctor seemed to think this feeling will come back.

I just started using Bio Oil as well on my scars. I had been using Vitamin E oil and Coconut Oil, but was told this stuff was awesome. I've only been using it for a few days, so no update yet. But I will say, I do NOT like the smell. Wish it was unscented. What is everyone using on their scars? Mine still seem quite red.

Things had been going so well...

Well, as luck would have it, things were going so well, then Bam! Infection. I'm told when your body starts to break down the internal stitches, it can have a problem with the knots. Well, the left side got an infection. Complete with redness (which is what I first noticed), hard lumps, a fever, and some yucky discharge - a bit of pus (but not as bad as some I've seen on here). I called the PS's office and got right in to see the nurse. Yep, infection. I was put on an antibiotic for 5 days. The pain continued - sharp constant pain. And the entire lower portion of my breast became a solid (and very sore) mass. After finishing the antibiotic, still sore and have the hard mass (try finding info on THAT online - I could not). So, I went back to the PS this week, and he seems very unconcerned. Says that this can happen. Gave me a prescription for another (different) antibiotic for 3 days and told to see him in 10. I will say, the pain is MUCH less today - day 3 of my 3 day prescription. Still a hard mass, but able to concentrate on other things than my throbbing left breast. It's still much bigger than the right - so I feel really lopsided. Hoping the hardness goes away soon...and it becomes the cute breast it was for about a week - back before the infection.

Post Op Pics

So, had the drain tubes for a week. Almost passed out when they were removed. About 5 inches inside - and sewn to my skin to keep them in place. Yuck. But so happy when they were removed. Started buying some sports bras so that I wouldn't have to wear the cumbersome surgical bra. Some bruising - but told that would go away in time. Upped my intake of vitamin C to help the healing process (you bruise less with vitamin C) Have bumpers on my nipples due to the FNG - those to come off soon. Once those were removed, started to feel more "normal." Loving my size!
