What a difference!
WORTH IT
Soooooo happy! I feel "normal" for the first time in over a decade. My back is finally doing better now that I'm not hunching from pain.
I can hug my kids without feeling like I'm smothering them with boob.
Now that the pain of surgery is nearly completely gone I feel like I can actually start to enjoy my new chest.
I've started using a scar gel. Hopefully it will help the scar tissue soften and lighten.

feeling good, mostly...
I've been feeling pretty good despite lots of activity the last few days. Not much swelling, almost no knots in my boobs. But I do feel like the wound under my right boob has opened up/deepened a bit. 2 steps forward 1 step back, eh?
Particularly frustrating with the fungal "fun" going on. I think an antibiotic cream would probably help the wound, but wouldn't help good bacteria form to fight off fungus/yeast. I'm doing very small, 1x1-ish, squares of gauze with the wet to dry over the wound. Then I spray everything with the athlete's foot spray. Sexy! Lol.
My breasts have gotten so soft. It's silly, but I'm excited to get some decent bras, even an underwire or 2 to make the best of my new boobage. Waiting for 8 week mark though. I thought I'd swear off underwire forever, who knew? Lol.
I don't comment on my nipples much, but there's not much feeling there. If I pinch the right one there's dull pain. Left has nothing. I was worried about a FNG before surgery, so wasn't too concerned with nipples beyond not wanting them to fall off. I thought since I didn't get an FNG I might have feeling, but so far not much. They are responsive to cold and stuff though, so I guess at least hubby's ego won't be hurt, lol. I've heard of people recovering feeling 6-12 months out. So there's hope, but it's a trade I'm okay having made to have smaller breasts. I did tell hubby I might eventually get some tattooing to make my areolas look more round/symmetrical. That's about it on the nipple front. Lol.
Hope everyone is healing well and has a fun Halloween if you celebrate it.

I'm using a gel that my mom's surgeon recommended for her. It really softened up her scar from wrist surgery. My plastic surgeon didn't recommend anything. He seemed pretty satisfied with the scars. I mainly want the scars to be soft like the surrounding skin.
I know a lot of women on here swear by the silicone sheets though. I might look into them. :-)
