My breasts made me feel terrible!

I took these after I saw Dr. Rex and booked my surgery to show why I decided this look was enough. My breasts had been this way for years....no kids..no excuses..bad genes on my Mom's side of the family..

16 days and counting....

Well, I love my new look. After all the markets and glue comes off a new you apoears! Everyday they change a little. They are slowly becoming softer and the tightness has eased off until days end, when as always I'm exhausted and feeling really tight.
I'm the past few days I have noticed redness as long the bottom suture line, and last night what looked like a dine size blister/access (not sure what it is), along bottom suture line. I have no fever, not is it warm to toych, so I can only think this has to do with chafing of my sports bra on a section of skin that was located somewhere else on September 28th, and needs to get used to its new home. I will call the doctor today to see if there is anything else I can do, or if this is just part of the process of healing.....

Week One...What are these strange looking things?

My first week post op was really uneventful. Pain minimal to none, but pressure of my chest is an acute reminder of what has been done. I can't wait to see how they finally turn out, but my chest currently is crusted with market and glue, and she lovely shades of black and blue....but NO REGRETS....they are going to be great. I have slowly moved back into my normal life, but find by the end of the day I'm exhausted. In reading many of your stories, this is normal, and hopefully this passes soon. Until then, I just do what my body allows. Have been back to the doctor once. He took out 4 staples, taped me scars, and said I was doing fine, change the tape every few days until I see him again.

I like Dr. Rex. Sure, His name, and two others kept coming to me while reading all stories on Real Self. Good marketing, but I made the right choice with the first name on the list. Nice guy..makes you feel comfortable, answers your questions, gives you options. Within 30 minutes I was all in. I worked in the medical arena until I retired and I just really found him refreshing after knowing as many surgeons as I have in my life. Dr Rex makes you feel like it's ok to be naked to the waist and having pictures of your breasts taken. If you can feel comfortable with a doctor doing that well.... he's your guy. That's Dr. Rex
