Here is what silicone bandages look like on
So frustrating that you cannot edit your post. I hit post before I added pics of the silicone bandages on the breasts. See attached pics
Day 17 post op - surgical glue off. Starting silicone sheeting treatment for scars
Ok. Sorry got my dates mixed up on last post. Previous picks were from 2 weeks post op
I started moisturizing the aereola and breasts per doctors advice on Friday. I have been using coconut oil. Not only did it moisturize but it helped the surgical glue come off. Most of it came off in shower this morning. 3 days after I started using the coconut oil
Since surgical glue is off I can start using the EpiDerm silicone gel sheeting that I purchased from Biodermis. It is supposed to help heal and minimize the scars. I used when I got implants and it really worked, but my incisions were around the nipple and minimal. With the explant and lift, i have a lot more incisions
The scars are freaking me out. So this will be a real test for the silicone sheeting. The ones under my breast where the incision from the nipple down and the incision in the under crease of my breast meet looks awful. Almost like a keloid on the one breast. So we will see what this does. They were expensive. I got 5 sets that are specifically for anchor lift with incision around areola. A set should last 2 weeks which will give me 10 weeks of treatment. They were not cheap. The cost was about $400 by time I added bandage cleaner and some extra tape in case I needed it. Ut fortunately I could use my HSA (health savings account) to purchase them. I've posted pics of the packaging and what they look like on. They were not difficult to put on
Other than that I am feeling good. Breasts are not that sore. I know it will be 6 mos before I know exactly what they will look like, but at least I can wear tops that I havent been able to wear for awhile.

3 Weeks Post-op
I got my drains out a week ago which was a welcome relief. They were annoying and also the cause of most of my discomfort (the tubes inside made area sore due to be compressed by compression bra)
I still have some surgical glue on incisions so I cant start using my Epi-Derm silicone bandages until after it comes off. I am eager to use to help minimize scarring. Used when i had my implants put in amd it really works
Doctor said if glue isnt off by next Friday, my 4 week post-op check-up, that she will remove what ever is still on
Incisions still look bad but cant tell what is glue and what is real. I like the shape of the breasts but know they will still change a lot.
