1 Month Post Op
Hi Ladies
Well today I am 1 month and 2 days post op. I'm feeling about 90%. The girls have drop and softened up a bit. The right is being more stubborn than the left. Me left breast has numbness towards the center from the nipple down. I read it's normal but it still worries me. Everyday I pass my finger over that part hoping I can feel it. My scars are healing nicely. They are less bumpy and becoming lighter. I'm using Scar Away patches I purchased at CVS.
I returned to the gym on friday and only did glutes. I felt so weak. I was only able to do the stepper for 12 minutes before I gave up because I felt pressure on my incision. I didn't want to overdue it. Slowly but surely I should be 100%. I tend to forget that I had surgery only a month ago. I've returned to work but not patrol yet so I haven't worn my vest. I still have one more week for that.
Overall, I'm happy with the size. But Im still waiting on the D and F fairy.

Mondor's Cord and Scar Cream.
Hi ladies
Even after all the research I did before getting BA, I never heard or saw anything on Mondor's cord. And now have one. It is the clotting (thrombosis) of the superficial veins that cross the fold below the breasts. The affected vein becomes tight and forms a band that is visible when you raise your arms that develops under the breast. In my case its under my left breast. Its fairly normal and goes away on its own, in time. Its more annoying than anything because it prevents me from really stretching out my arm. Ive read that a warm compress and advil can help them go away faster.
My doctor gave me the ok to remove the steristrips. I was wondering what scar cream works really well. Ive been told scarguard is the best but I've read some reviews about the gel sticking onto the bra. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

D and F fairy where are you? 2 weeks post op
Hola,
2 weeks today and I can't believe how time flies. The girls are still sitting high. Im still waiting for the drop and fluff fairy to get here already. I'm wearing the band for most of the day now. Since Ive been home I was worried that people would notice. Although I'm not back to work yet, I had a meeting with my coworkers for an event we are hosting. Just a reminder, I'm a police officer in a department of 5 females and 100 males. However, no one noticed or at least I don't think so. I went shopping for some simple and soft bras. I found some at Target for a really cheap price. I have to admit that this mini "vacation" im on is great but now im itching to return to work. Not being able to go to the gym isn't helping either. But again, I need to have patience. My job isn't easy and I'm sure my vest still doesn't fit yet.
