Slowly Being Killed By Boobs - Denver, CO

Missed updating last week. Everything has been going really well. Still no significant pain. Everything has feeling and no itching or zingers to speak of for a few weeks now. The scars are tender to massage, but I will persevere to minimize them. I am using organic coconut oil mixed w lavender oil one night and vitamin e the next. Still happy w the results, though some days they feel huge and others a good size. They are softening and getting some bounce back, so I need to find a different bra to wear. The size small sports bra that was perfectly snug a few weeks ago is missing some support now as swelling goes down.

Three weeks post as of tomorrow. Went shopping today and it was SO enjoyable. Everything I tried on fit great. Never in my life would I have been able to wear a bralette because I required an extra large cup, but a small band. I bought 5 different colors today. Also saw a super cute shirt on a mannequin while shopping. It was the last one in the store. Normally I would wear a medium, but that extra small fit!

About the boobs. I have been wearing silicone strips off and on for the last week. Yesterday I was getting a burning sensation and took them off. The incisions were red in the shapes of the tape. I read they can cause yeast infections because of moisture trapped under them. I will be super careful to wear them for just the 8 hrs (minimum recommended) and then take them off. They do seem to be helping w the thicker scaring. I will get some oil to massage them as well as they don't seem to be too tender now. Super duper happy w the shape and size. Can't wait to see how they settle.

Feeling pretty good. Very little pain through this process. Oddly enough, behind the armpit of my right arm is more tender than anything. I am right handed, so it could be due to over use. I am still feeling the effects of anesthesia and being sick the whole month prior to surgery. I get tired really easy and even get winded getting ready in the morning. I'm used to being able to go 10-12 hours, so this is the hard part. We took the strips off last week and out on new ones. I have the ok to remove these, but can't get them off. They are super stuck. Still thrilled I had it done. Can't wait to see the final results and start scar treatment. I have a friend that is in the business of scar removal, etc. and she said massage, massage, massage with any kind of oil or vitamin e will help tremendously.
