1 mos down
A little over 1 month post op and things are progressing nicely. Pretty much all my stitches are gone. Nipples are kind of light in some spots so they probably won't remain perfect circles. I'm cool with that- they weren't perfect before. I have no pain, just occasional swelling/ soreness depending on activity. I'm back to my full gym routine, including upper body weights (somewhat limited). I have started using Kelo-cote scar gel on scars as well. So far, i am satisfied with the incision healing and think I will heal fine. I do have what i think they call "dog ears" on the inner breast. It doesn't bother me too much, but I will see what my surgeon says about it.

Getting Better Every Day
Hey ladies,
Everyday is a day closer to normalcy. I had my 1st post op appointment on 4/27. Doc stated things look good. He also said i was swollen, especially on sides, & that the swelling will go down and the "high & tights" will settle. My stitches are disolvable, so there was no removing stitches or anything like that. Overall, i have LOVED my surgeons approach.
I went back to work 2 days ago on 4/28. I sit at a desk all day, so it hasn't been hard or overwhelming. I think 2 weeks is definitely the perfect amount of time to have off (1 week wouldn't have been enough). I rode the stationary bike for about an hour twice in the 2nd week and things felt good. I will make my 1st trip back to the gym tomorrow and boy i can't wait to get back it.
The healing process has been great so far & I am enjoying my smaller boobs more & more everyday.
