Now entering week six
It's kind of amazing, all of the literature talks about six weeks out being when things really start to gel in terms of healing. I'm definitely feeling it in the past few days.
I'm really not feeling much pain. My arms still hurt if I move them in a certain way and my reach up is still limited, other than that, pain/discomfort are minimal.
My sleep isn't great. I'm still taking Tynolol PM at night. I'm almost out of Ativan. May ask for more when I have a follow-up next week, but I think I need to force myself to sleep with out aid.
I'm happy with my arms. The arm pit area still has raised/uneven scars. Dr. said they would even out. They are improving, so I'm confident they will continue to improve. This past weekend I was able to shave in there, that felt good. I've had laser there, but there's still light growth. I've started using the Biocorium everywhere but my back.
My left breast and side breast area is still more swollen than the right side. Another thing to talk to Dr about. But I'm happy with the breast result.
Still not thrilled with the back area. It's healing slowest and doesn't look great. Another thing to talk about with Dr.
Energy-wise I think I'm up to 90%. Waiting to get the all clear for exercise. I've got lots of toning to do. I can't imagine going back to yoga with the arms still compromised, but hiking for sure.

Hello! you look great! I am getting bra line lift as well, how was the recovery?

Recovery from that was easy. The arms, which were part of this surgery group for me, was a difficult recovery. I found the back to be easy. But everyone is different. I know surgeons say this, but it's really true.

How long did it take for your back to stop feeling tight and pulled? I had a bra line lift 6 weeks ago and I definitely feel the scar! Hope it settles into a normal feeling back!

6-8 weeks. Everyone is different, so what I experienced it's a rule per se. If you're concerned you're not healing properly, talk to your Dr. I found with all of my surgeries that that 6-8 weeks was the magic number

Mindfulness for second plastic surgeries
I think one of my issues with having a harder recovery this time has to do with being a little too confident and cocky about this one after having such an easy time with the first one. My recommendations to anyone having additional procedures is to act like it's your first time ever and pay careful attention to every instruction. I think I was too active too soon and that's impeding my healing.
