Has anyone had the itchy nipples? OMGosh I've had it all day around my nipples mostly. I feel like I have ten mosquito bites on each nipple. I'm going to try hydrocortisone if the Benadryl doesn't kick in soon. Loving my new me and the itchies won't bring me down! I've been walking a lot and just started back sleeping in bed. My PS suggested I try to sleep in the recliner as long as possible so my breast will have a good shape. Hope everyone is healing nicely. Take care.

Nerve rejuvenation is the worst part of recovery! But it's worth every sharp pain. So happy with my new me;being able to feel
normal and look normal. This is my last picture with my steri tapes on. I still have a lot of swelling and my PC said it would take a good six months to a year before I see my final results.

Your results are looking fabulous so far!! They have a very natural looking shape, it's great feeling and looking "normal" isn't it?! Best wishes for the rest of your recovery x
Thanks. It still very strange to me. I find myself working above my new breast without needing too. Crazy.
Looking great! I can't wait! ...but I will have to at least 6 weeks.
I agree, the nerve sensitivity was not anything I expected or have dealt with before. At three weeks, I am starting to have less sensitivity but still have sharp pains several times a day. Tape will be coming off.....glad to have the bulk of major healing behind me. Six months seems like a long time to wait for swelling to go down.......patience will be tested.
Boy, true that sister! This is a long process!
You look great! What size did you end up with?
Probably a D. Hopefully a C which could be a possibility due to the swelling and my PS said it takes awhile for everything to readjust.
I think I'm going to be a d, dd fits with some bras, due to swelling.
Your Dr. Did a great job. They look awesome.
Thanks so much. My PS is awesome.

I've been super busy and exhausted. All I want to do when I stop working is sleep. Overall I feel much better. I only have an irritating feeling under my breast where the tape and glue are on my stitches. My steri tape around my nipples is starting to come loose which leads me to believe that they are healing very well. Does anyone else feel like you arms still won't lay flat at your sides? I'm wondering if I'm wearing the wrong kind of bra? Help please.

Hi, I am still swollen and kind of hard under my arms from the lipo and I think I just feel like they don't lay flat. My PS said to gently pull the underlying sides forward into the bra trying to keep the side part of the underwire behind that part. This is to help shape your new breasts. Also I put sterile gauze under the breast where the stitches are still sore.
So glad you are doing so well. I am anxious now - got approval from insurance and could go under the knife in 2 weeks! I will find out Friday what my surgery date is. Thanks so much for posting your progress. You are the closest in size to me so it helps. (or what you used to be ;-)
Hi,you and I are about the same post surgery time. Yes, I feel like that too, so I keep trying to gently pull forward underlying tissue under the Arm and sides of breast into the underwire of my bra. It seems to help.
It is recommended that you do not wear underwires for 6 wks at least.
That's what I keep seeing on here, but my PS doesn't have a problem with it. So far no problem with it. Do you know what the reason for that is?
I am 3 wks post op. I originally purchased sports bras as PS suggested, but found I was more comfortable in surgical vest bras. There are many styles on Amazon, and they helped a lot.
