Week 4 and a half

WORTH IT$8,500
Just dropping in for an update. Swelling is almost gone, although I still feel bloated around my midsection. If you study them, you'll see differences between them. One side doesn't quite want to drop as far as the other. Overall, they look great, so keep in mind this is just me knit-picking myself and being critical. I'm still 1000 times happier than I was before the surgery.

2 Weeks Post Op - Bandages Off
wineisgoodApril 21, 2014
Well, today I got my first glimpse of the girls without tape! Gotta say, bug picture outlook is very good. Short term ... They are stitched up and it shows. I like to be realistic and I want others out there to have realistic expectations, too. The reality is that your boobs have been cut up, remade, stuffed and sewn together. So, 2 weeks post op, expect to have stitches and to see a dose of reality. Now, in a year, they will be beautiful and I know this. But, I want you guys out there to be prepared! Overall, I am extremely happy and I know that every day will bring improvement.
I have one stitch that was a little infected. No big deal, but it will need some antibiotic ointment (prescription strength) and I'll go back in 2 weeks. Dr Y says the wounds should be completely closed by week 4 and I can start swimming again. For now, workouts are no impact and eating healty, clean foods.
Onward ... To healing!

How does the incision feel do you feel pain I so want to do my breast augmentation I'm just so scared of the scars and the sensitivity going away on the nipples...

At this point (almost 4 weeks) there is only soreness. It's kind of like the feeling you have after a new workout when you're not used to using those muscles. The incisions are tender to touch. I recommend a really soft cotton bra when you start moving back to wearing normal bras (I have been for about a week). The incision marks are still very noticeable. The verticle line going up and down is suprisingly less noticeable than the ariola incision marks. As for the sensitivity, it hasn't come back yet. I can feel something, but it's not the same as before the surgery. It's really too soon to tell. I'll do another update with pictures on Monday!

Not much to update, today. Dr. Yanez showed me how to massage them to help with the stiffness I'm feeling. He didn't remove tape or take out stitches. That might happen next week. We'll see. Things are going so well, I can't complain! I am still sleeping in my recliner, because the bed seems to put too much pressure on them. Hopefully, I'll learn how to accommodate them and sleep on my back or with a pillow.

Thanks, hon. It's only because we took a trip to Jamaica pre-op! :). Normally, I'm very pale and probably will be soon, since I have to avoid the sun for a while.
