Hey all
So had my 6 month check in. My incision areas are still slightly raised so I will be purchasing the silicon sheets that help with that issue...
Since December I have been back in the gym full time and lost 10 pounds. It is soooo much easier to work out now. No breast and back pain!
I still sleep in bralettes I just find it more comfortable. I purchased two underwire bras last week and they are completely comfortable now.

Wonderful ! Thank you for the great progress reports. Thank you for taking the time to take photos, download, upload them to,the website, and write the reports. It helps so much. I am 6 days post op, and have posted a couple times. I had a blood blister that formed and broke on day 4, but should be fine according to my PS. I will try to be as diligent as you with progress reports. Yours really eased my mind, and helps me to relax and let the healing happen it it's own pace. You have beautiful results!

Sorry I am a couple weeks late but I just finished with finals this week. I had a doctors apt dec 5. She wants me to work on my scaring. The tissue is raised and massaging and stretching it out is what will help eliminate that issue. I have been too busy to care but I will try to take a few minutes a coupe times a day to do so. I am 100% back in the gym. I have been working with my trainer and honestly the first three times we did any chest exercise I was mad sore. But it got better quickly and two weeks later I'm no longer bothered. We did no upper body for an entire three months so the muscles were not used to any work. I have also been tanning but keeping on a bra because I do not want to harm the collagen in the breast skin. I took another photo this morning but not much different than the last scars are more faded and maybe less swollen but they still swell after cardio.

They look great, my question is . Why the Dr did the anchor surgery cut so high and not in the natural line that create the natural breast?

I asked for the cut to be slightly higher because I was concerned they would eventually fall again lol

This week I finally have been back into full upper-body exercises including chest! Swelling continues to fluctuate a tiny bit from day to day but hardly noticeable anymore. I will post more pics when I have my apt on December 5th. No other significant changes. I have found I am more comfortable sleeping in a sport bra still but am in regular wireless during the day. Me and my fiancé both are in awe at the results and I am more confident each day!

Thanks! It is not until May so I will definitely be ready. I can't wait for the apt either I think even the doctor will be shocked by her own work lol . Never been so happy in my life.

I am THRILLED for you! I'm going to check out y our PS website right now! I've been planning on it and just have not done it yet.

You look awesome, I'm so happy for you! I had a BL with a fat transfer on 10/18, so I'm 4 weeks post surgery. I'm feeling a little down as I still have some scabbing on some of my incisions. I saw that you had a remarkable improvement from week 5 to week 6 so this give me hope. Any feedback or insight on the healing process? I recognize that I'm being impatient, just want to have scab/scarless breasts again. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Congrats on your surgery! It seems like such a long recovery process but it really is not that bad. I got very depressed during recovery and that is so normal I found out. I am at week 10 yesterday and am back to full activity and couldn't be happier. Being patient is really hard these days we are all so busy and get quite used to instant gratification but with this it is a waiting game and nothing will really speed up the healing process. It is worth it though just remind your self with before pictures it will cheer u up that you are the path to a new more confident you!

I also experienced some bouts of inexplicable sadness; I had no idea it was a common part of the recovery process. I am finally seeing marked improvement with my scabs after using Vitamin E...all but two have finally fallen off. I'm now starting to focus on my scars. Good times. Lol. Thanks for your continued feedback and support, it's appreciated. This site has been extremely helpful.

Hi 87Babii, congrats on the success you do look and sound great! I'm almost 3 weeks post lift with implants and absolutely delighted with myself for seeing it through. I had no idea the positive psychological change good boobs could bring!
My question to you is on washing and scar care. I too have coconut oil at the ready. I've still got dressings but when I can shower I have not been informed of any antibacterial washes or infection prevention methods - do you have any tips? Thanks xx
