35 years old breast lift with mentor gel implants- Lexington, KY

Dropping in place and scars lightening :)

Dr. Shantz said everything is healing well and looks good. He removed my tape and my last stitch under the right breast. Everything is closing as it heals. Im starting to feel some shooting pain sensations atound the nipple area. He said this is nerves reconnecting i believe. My swelling is going down a little at a time and things are dropping into place. I had no bruising at all! I really cant say enough good things about Dr. Shantz and his right hand lady Miranda. I feel so comfortable with them both! My husband said he thinks i made a fantastic decision on a surgeon and hopes i go to him for my tummy tuck next summer as well! And off subject for just a second.... the skin in the breast area is so very dry no matter what moisturizer i use which he said is fine to do. But we all know dry skin is also itchy....ugh. also my incisions are itching as they heal too. Just cant wait till i am healed and i can sleep on my side, stretch my arms all the way up to stretch my back without a pulling sensation, and not panic when someone almost bumps into me.....haha. i am very protective of this investment; )

I am now 11days post op and had my second visit. Dr. Shantz was there today. He says my swelling now is actually less than most at the same stage, so thats good! Also i dont really have any bruising at all! He removed the steri strips and the dried suture glue.....eeeeeeek! I only watched for a second! Very weird feeling! He removed the t-zone stitch under my left breast. Yowza....that stung a bit! The right breast stitch wasnt ready. I syill have a small area that hasnt closed completely so until that does he wanted to leave that stitch which was fine by me! I know it sounds weird but i felt scared to have the tape and stitches removed, like thats all that was holding them together or something. I know I'm nuts! Anyways Miranda gave me a new support bra to give my other a rest between washings and i put the girls back up and that was that. Made my next appointment for next Wednesday January 7th. Now, after stopping at a few stores, and a friends house, i noticed a wet feeling under my left breast. I have been wearing gauze in my bra still so that the elastic wouldnt rub my incisions. The gauze was wet and my new bra had a yellowish stain on the bottom half. Yep its on the right side too. I hope this is normal, but the burning feeling has me a lil worried. Gonna call the doc in the morning if it doesnt stop. I worry a lot. I'm actually surprised I haven't called him yet.
