You are so funny Suzie
I think the one on the right is cute too! Great pictures. I hope the nipples are well.
Hi Suzie. Nice pics. :)
How are you, my dear
Well I was just going to post my status and noticed my last post does not show up!?!?! I have no idea where it could be so ill just recap... Both nipples have been DE-stitched as of last Friday.!!! Yah! Except for the pain after. Wow. Talk about a raw scraped feeling. Well that's all past now. Both nipples are still puffy at times and sore still. I'm not sure if that's normal or not, maybe they've just been through a lot. Poor little babies! My days are pretty good, but at night is when I have the most pain. I guess swelling from being up and about!? I feel like I'm still swollen and hard underneath though the upper is soft. I'd say I'm a c cup right now, so I'm not sure if that will go down or not, but I'm very happy with my result thus far! I think today I will shower and put the blue tape on the incisions though my dr didn't say to or not. From what many of you have said it seems like it helps in many ways so I'm game. Xox
Just sent you a private note was getting worried about you.

I'm not complaining mind you, but what's up with this clevage? I woke up with it, and also quite colorful!

Wow for what you've been through you are healing amazing... I had my consult Thursday with Dr Smith. I thought he was awesome. Now I wait for insurance....
Cleavage is good in small dosages.

"Happy Nipple"!!!!

I went to see Dr.Smith yesterday ,Friday and he was super happy with the way the Princess Righty was looking. He was so funny, he took the gauze off and said "Happy Nipple"! And then he shot me up to numb and sewed me up! For whatever reason, aside from the numbing and the stiching, this side has not been as painful as the left side. (Thank goodness!) Yeh now I can just concentrate on the recuperating of BR without complications. Praise Jesus! Nipples intact.

I am experiencing quite a bit of burning all around the nipple incisions, especially the left side. Maybe because they're fresh. Dr. Smith said I could discontinue Neosporin over the weekend. After I thought about it I was wondering if I could or should? Which is best? It feels much better to keep it lubricated, I can't imagine just dry. One more thing, my bruising was just about gone yesterday. And what do you know, this afternoon I noticed that my right side is completely bruised underneath. Is this Normal???

So glad to hear that the doctor gave you good news today! I would say the burning around your nipple is normal. I'm not sure about bruising because I'm too afraid to look at my boobs. I hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly! :-)
Yay! Congratulations on your good nipple news! Don't know about the bruising. I haven't had too much even though I had lipo on the sides. I was kind of surprised at how little bruising I had. I'm a few days behind you though so I guess it could still develop more.
Congrats on your progress. I am so glad you have "Happy Nipples" lol. You're looking good.
Hey Hallylu so glad to hear from you! How is your recovery going? Recover from the wonderful trip yet? I'm doing really good, except for the nipple issue. But it's better now, hopefully get the stitches on the left out on Friday. Xox
