UPDATED FROM bird1995
Almost 6 Weeks
It will be 6 weeks this wednesday so I thought I would post some update pictures. I went and got measured and they said I am a 34C, exactly where I wanted to be.
All my scabbing is gone and the scars are healing, they look pretty red and irritated but they don't hurt. My right breast is still slightly swollen compared to my left and my PS said they it should go down soon. I've been putting vitamin E and shea butter on the scars every night before bed after I shower and I can really see an improvement.
I still really love them and I'm so happy that I went through with the procedure. My body feels right now and I can't wait to start exercising the way I have been wanting to for years.

Update on Infection
So, I was concerned about an infection about 10 days ago. Since then, it has healed up and it seemed like the infection was very superficial. My PS looked at it and said it looked fine and it just seemed the scab could have been infected and to keep neosporin on the area. The area never became inflamed and eventually, it stopped leaking altogether. I even had my OBGYN look at it while I was there and he said it looked very clean as well.
I'll post some update pictures later.

Question.. Did you receive antibiotics after surgery that went with your pain meds? I just want to make sure I have everything in case I get an infection. I did get antibiotics, but I was wondering if they even worked for you. Thanks in advance!
I didn't receive any antibiotics after my surgery. I just had the pain meds.

Possible Infection
On my right breast, I have an area where all the incisions meet that is discharging a yellow substance. It's also a tad bit open. What is my best course of action? Should I contact my PS?

I would contact him just to be sure
yes that's a possible infecion
Please keep us informed. I hope your doing better today :-)
I had the same thing right under my nipple when I got my breast done but there was nothing to worry about my doctor said to just keep Neosporin on it and to try to keep it covered
i would contact him, any oozing out is an infection and if so it will delaying your healing. I had the same issue with my surgery in July 2015 in other area and make sure it is the correct antibiotics.
