6 weeks update
Hello All - I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since my surgery. Time just marches on! I'm doing great and getting better every day. I will see the PS on Wednesday for my 6 week follow up. It will probably take me longer to get undressed than it will for the doc to look at my girls. HAHA I had two little holes that healed up nicely and haven't seen any more but keeping a close watch. The PS recommended Scarguard twice daily but I used that up and switched to Mederma. The Scarguard is like a nail polish and dries quickly but I didn't like having to peel it off. The girls are so dry that I continue to use A & D ointment at night.
My scars are flat and soft but still red. No worries there. I've included a pic of the cleavage area, it still doesn't look great. I have no idea if swelling is still an issue. The way they look naked isn't really a great concern of mine as long as the pain in my shoulders and back are gone.
I did a little bra shopping last week and bought 2 soft cup no wire bras. Not sure I'll ever wear an underwire again. I need a little padding to keep the world from seeing my "head lights". The smaller breast size fits my body type so much better than before which makes me so happy.
Overall, I'm go glad I did this surgery. Anybody on the fence should just go for it!
Until later...

Over due update
I can't believe it's been 4 weeks since surgery. Where has the time gone? I'm feeling pretty good, still hyper aware of my new boobs. I don't have many zingers ( not sure that's a good thing) but definitely have feeling in the nipples. They aren't even but I don't care how they look anymore. Excited I don't have pain in my shoulders. They itch a lot so I've been using a cream the doc recommended. Last night I took my bra off to begin the twice daily maintenance routine and discovered two small spots along the incision under my right boob. They were a little bloody so I applied antibiotic ointment and a bandage. I won't lie, I'm a bit concerned. Healing had been going so well, thought I was home free. Maybe I scratched to hard?
Anyway...I received a bill from the mammogram and decided to check my insurance website to see if it was filed. Sure enough it wasn't but I was FLOORED to discover the surgical center charged my insurance $72,046.00. Yep, you read that right 72 thousand dollars!! I was there about 6 hours total. Surly something is very wrong. I called the insurance company to make sure I read that right. The lady started laughing and said it was correct. She couldn't see the details as the claim was in process but said it looked like the surgical center doubled billed. WOW!!! Even if they doubled billed that's outrageous! My insurance is covering the ps and surgical center at 100% but they were not expecting this huge amount. The ps only charged $7,500. The ins. rep told me not to worry, they will investigate and have been known to knock the payment down by $70,000. Has anybody else seen ridiculous charges like this?
