Bathing suit shopping
WORTH IT$5,000
One last update. It's been nine months since my surgery, today I went shopping for a swimsuit. Last time sucked it up and bought a new suit it took three hours, lots of frustration and probaly a few tears to find only ONE tankini top that fit my body and didn't have boobs squished out in evey direction. Today took only a short amount of time and there were many tops that fit beautifully. But I had my heart set on a halter top style. Found it, bought two in different designs and colors. This time tears of joy. I will never forget that doing something for yourself that makes you feel better both physically and mentally is not selfish. We must take care of ourselves.

Two weeks po
Tomorrow is my two week boobversary. Soaked in the shower last night to peel off the steri strips and not a moment too soon. I had two spots where the top layer of skin ripped. I hate adhesives. My skin does not agree with the stuff. Now I'm putting on the scar cream. My scars already are healing great. I have one spot that is still weeping here and there so I put some peroxide and Neosporin on it. Very happy with my results and progress. Spent time with a grandchild and niece and held both. Picked them and all. No probs.

Happy Boobversary!! We both are at two weeks already. Time is going by pretty quick. Soon we will be celebrating the one month mark. I can't wait to be cleared to start exercising again. I am glad that everything is going well for you!

You too. Great to be at this point. Wore a tank top no bra all day. Did bunch of chores. Love not having the constraints of the bra when I'm home

Hope this isn't weird to say, but your nipples and scars look amazing! The surgeon did such a neat job! I have my consultation on the 11th and I'm nervous! :)

Thank you. My dr did do an amazing job. We all heal differently but i believe his technique is excellent. No drain no pain. Good luck with your consultation.

Thank you both. That is why I've tried to post often. I've seen a lot of posts that might discourage. You don't have to be in pain. Every little pinch or itch isn't bad it's part of the healing process. Attitude and preparation and a really good and truly board certified ps. Good luck.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I hope my experience will be similar to yours. I am 53 and sick of having these massive melons attached to my chest. Ideally, I would like a B cup, too. Your healing looks amazing...what a great job your doc did!!! I have been battling with my insurance company to get BR surgery...now on the 3rd level appeal! Sigh.

I was lucky my ins approved in 13 days. My ps says on his web site he files appeals when turned down. I was "only" a DDD i was worried that because i wasnt a f or j i wouldn't qualify. It just depends on the company. Good luck.

Nipples. Lol
Healing fine. Was funny I noticed last night that my one nipple is now pink (normal) while the other hasn't caught up yet. could be bruising or the blood supply is still playing catch up. It has feeling, nice and sensitive to touch so it's nothing to worry about just looks odd. My feeling is it could be a different color for the rest of my life and I wouldn't care. Not wearing a bra when I'm not at work so oh happy joy joy. Thursday I peel off the steri strips. Can't wait. By then the bruising should be gone. Happy healing.
