All is well! The girls are comfy and soft. Zingers are gone and weird sensitivity too. Scars healing nicely (but still more purple than I would like). Tiny pieces of stitch did work their way out like little pimples almost. They move naturally and look great in everything I put on them. So happy I did it!!

It was a winding journey finding Dr. P, and I was 100% confident that he was going to do a wonderful job with my body. My trust was well placed. He was awesome every step of the way. I could not recommend him more highly.

6 weeks and finally feeling much better

SafariGirl
So for some reason I thought I would feel great at 2 weeks post surgery. Well it has taken more like 6 weeks. So hang in there! I am loving the girls! They look totally natural. Like me only better! I can dress them up or down and really make them pop. I'm very comfortable sleeping. I can wear underwires now but they aren't all that comfortable. Looking forward to being back in the states where I can find some adorable wireless bras. I may also need to be resized. I think I'm a 34DD. Loving my curves again!!

Looking beautiful and oh so natural!!! Even 6 weeks is a quick recovery for BA which I'm thinking is a result of the excellent surgeon and after care. My original surgery it took nearly 2 months to feel normal. With revision I think I'm there at 4 months. So glad to see you doing well :)

Almost 4 weeks post-surgery and still surprisingly tired

SafariGirl
Somehow I thought that 3-4 weeks after surgery I would be feeling normal. Well.... not so. I am not in pain per se, and I can certainly function, but I still tire more quickly than normal, and I don't feel ready to return to the gym. My breasts still have achy times--especially at the end of the day. I had an internal stitch dissolve and a tiny opening at one end of one of my incisions. It's nothing to be alarmed about, but I called my doc who said to stop the scar tape for a couple of days (it could be pulling new skin off when I change it) and instead put antibiotic ointment and post-surgical style dressings again for a few days, changing every 2 days until it clears up. My nipples and breast skin have been crazy sensitive for about a week. I used "soothies" over my nipples. That seems to be fading a bit since yesterday. I would love to hear how others feel at 4 weeks post surgery....
