PS called to check on me, this was very nice of him and it helps me to know that he really loves his job and wanna make sure I okay and satisfied. I told him my concerns which was the tenderness under my breast, my left is dropping extremely slow or not dropping, irritation of my skin and he asked me to come in. When I got there he said there were no cause to be alarm everything looks great and that my left was taking its time dropping he to me he didn't wanna look at going in to pull in down if it doesn't drop for 3 months to give it time but if it doesn't drop but 3months then a decision needs to be made. He gave me the bandage to wear 24/7, and i have to follow up in 3 weeks. The lumps is my stitches under my skin but it'll flatten out in a few weeks. He doesn't know what the red bumps are that's irritated he suggested if then get worst for me to see a dermatologist. I'm praying that they drop and look beautiful. Thanks you, Jesus!

So in 2 days I'll be 2 weeks postoperative and my boobs still haven't dropped. There's lots of itching and my incision area is lumpy, not smooth at all. I put the silicone sheets on it, and i use the gel but afterwards my skin is real irritated and turns red. I have no clue what I should be doing to help the healing of my incision. Nor the dropping of my boobs I massage all day and nothing.

Hi Itty, sorry you are having a hard time. Did the doc give you the strap? If not, ask for it, it's annoying but really helps the dropping. Sometimes the dropping takes avwhile for some women.

He said the strap has the same amount of time as if I didn't do anything and waited on them to naturally fall, but if I wanted too I could use it, he just doesn't use it because there's no proof that it works faster.

I have done nothing for my incisions and they are fine. I don't know what Dr. Kaye told you in regards to them but he didn't tell me anything and I for got to ask because I had already read prior to seeing him to leave the incisions alone until they completely heal and have a pink color to them like with any scar. Also, that lumpiness you feel at the incision is just scar tissue forming. Gently massage that area and it should go away. Mines did. I am prior military and completely understand how you are feeling about having taken a huge risk with this procedure since it is an elective one after all. How is that going to work for you? How much time were you able to take off? Profile for no push ups? You are really going to have to communicate well with Dr. Kaye and your Primary Care Provider so that you don't risk injuring yourself. Remember the procedure was a short one but it is going to take months for you too be fully recovered. Do not feel unhappy or discouraged. Your results look great! & it will take up to 3 months for them to fully drop and soften. I will be a month post op this Thursday and mine feel great now so I can only imagine how I will feel and look months from now. The important thing to do is take care of yourself. If you have not dropped like you should have by the time you see Dr Kaye again he will tell you what extra steps to take. Remember it all take time.

Thanks, I called him about my issues and I was told not to massage the lumps he told me they were the stitches under my skin and that if I massage them I risk opening the incision, he sad it'll heal on its own,so I'm waiting to see. He said the same as you said in regard to them dropping so I'm waiting for that as well.I guess I'm scare because I don't want another procedure in the event they don't drop. I have to find shirts to cover up my chest all the time because it's quite noticeable the one boobs is all the way up my chest. Lol my mother-in-law noticed and just couldn't stop asking me if everything was alright. im just so uncomfortable in my skin right now.

Hey girl, I hope you healing well. Your boobs are looking good. It's going to be perfect once they fully settled. Mine are sitting high right now I'm in 5 days mark still too early. I'll wait for my one month mark for a real progress. My left side is stubborn not doing anything riding very high still hope in a month both girls even out
Stay positive.

So baby girl ! You are healing and your scars right now aren't going to feel flat as of yet for two reasons , the way your surgeon made your incision and because your still only two weeks. Do not fret yet about the boobs starting to drop because your only at two weeks and a lot of things factor in that you are not counting. Continue to massage and be patient with the ladies and you will soon see a change . Your looking good so far , I was still a box at even 3 weeks so no worried it's coming but at its own pace . Xoxox
