8 weeks tomorrow
So after my little scare I got hold of the clinic spoke with my dressing nurse and she reassured me that the problem was being caused by a stitch not dissolving. Anyway it started to heal over fine but then another area on the same nipple started doing the same thing, so I spoke to my ps's secretary and she got me an appointment to see Mr Malluci very quickly. At the appointment he told me that this sort of thing was normal and that sometimes the dissolvable stitches take a long time to dissolve and can cause this sort if irritation. He said there's nothing that can be done unless the end of the stitch actually pokes out of the skin, then you would pull it out. He was very pleased with how I'm healing and told me I'm doing well and not to worry. I came away feeling reassured and calm, and sure enough everything healed up on its own after a week or two. My scars under the breast have turned pink and firm and are a bit raised in places but he also told me that was normal and to expect them to get worse before they get better. I have a follow up with him in about 4 months time. My breast are still tender and I can't sleep in my front yet, but tomorrow I plan to start back at the gum with some low impact excercises. The areas above the breast where the fat transfer was done are slowly softening up and have gone a bit lumpy to the touch but it's not visible and I guess that's just part of the process of the fat settling..or being re absorbed. Anyway here's some pictures of what I look like today.

Bit of a scare
So today is exactly one month post op and tonight I've had a bit of a scare...I've had a bit of redness a scabbing on my right breast for a while now that I thought was healing. A few days ago it started oozing a little so I had been putting antiseptic cream on it and placed a steri strip over the area. Anyway tonight as I was doing my evening routine of massaging in my scar gel I noticed that it was oozing from the steri strip - I took off the strip and the scab came off with it leaving an open wound about half a centimeter in diameter. It's right at the edge of my nipple. I cleaned up the area with some antiseptic solution and as I did noticed something hard inside the wound. I figured it must be a stitch so I got out the tweezers a pulled and out came a stitch with a big blob at the end which looked like a large knot. These are supposed to be dissolvable stitches but this one clearly hadn't dissolved. I'm hoping that that's what caused the oozing etc and that now it's gone it will heal up. I called the out of hours number for the clinic and got my doctors secretary. She was very nice and gave me the number of the dressing nurse but unfortunately her phone went to voicemail. I left a message so we'll see if she calls back tomorrow as it's quite late now. Feeling a bit scared but my boyfriend as always was great at reassuring me. Hopefully by tomorrow things will be on the mend :(
