Starting Scar Treatment

WORTH IT$10,000
I picked up my Silagen Gel Sheeting today and am so excited to start working on my scars. The nipples are healing great, but the lower anchor scars are raised and have started to itch. I'll update you as I progress!!!! ????

Hi, Hun!! You look great. Be very careful.....your boobs are still very, very new. It takes up to a year to heal completely. So don't push yourself. I think each woman heals differently. Ask your PS when you can go back to the gym. He should be able to give you a ballpark time. Take care!! Happy Healing! :)
Boobasaurusrex74- definitely!!! I'm glad I kept some muscle relaxers because I definitely needed them. Better today but lesson learned! Excited to watch your revision surgery!!! Happy weekend!

Mondor's Cord

Last night I noticed a thick cord-like bulge running down the right side of my abdomen and immediately got on RealSelf to check it out. Turns out I've got Mondor's Cord which is clotting and inflammation of the veins of the breast following a breast lift and while frightening is not serious and will resolve on it's on. Treating it with ibuprofen and heat and it should resolve itself within 3 weeks. Thank God it's not serious!!!
