I have a spot underneath where the incisions meet, that looks similar to your hole. My spot is round, but is plugged up.

Honey you look amazing!! I'm only 8 days out and your breasts are so shapely and small & the incisions look all clear! Wow! Remember to check out your before pics!! ; ) My incisions are still taped, bloody and I look like I took a beating from Mike Tyson the bruising is so awful!! Ha ha! They will round and soften with massaging and oiling and TIME! Be patient lovely - very very early days. PS I take Bromelian and I don't honestly think it had made a difference yet - breasts rigid, firm, numb.....I guess without it they could be worse though? Arnica gives a tiny bit of temporary relief from swelling. Just topical cream. You look amazing! Xxxxxx

Thanks I was feeling pretty good about my progress until I got the hole under my right breast so I'm praying it heals as good as the left one

Hello everyone it's been two wks since my surgery and I'm making progress. My stiches are dissolving and the scars are looking great. I've had problems with stomach issues has anyone else? Had to go to doctor for meds. Don't know if it's something to do with the surgery or not. Excessive gas and stomach pains nauseous and headaches. I hope the meds work Bc I'm ready to be back to my old self. I hope everyone is doing great ttyl.

what meds are you on because they are the likely cause of stomach issues. i got stomach pains from taking antibiotics without food post op. advil also upsets your stomach badly

Oh honey, trust me, they will soften, round out and fall into place. It just takes a little time. I'm 6 weeks post and mine are still changing. I think if you give yourself a little healing time you will love them. How do you feel they look when your new bra is on?

I haven't tried on any new bras just a sports bra I'm still wearing thr surgical one it holds me secure and when I don't have it on they hurt around the stiches

You look great. You are just swollen, and it will take some time for the swelling to go completely down. You've got the weepy's something I had about a week after my surgery (I'm 3 wks post op). Get some rest. It will help.

Thanks I'm praying for patience something I don't have. This experience has been more emotional than I thought I would be. Rest I will get

Hi - did your ins. Co. Cover this? AND, did they require that you be a certain weight, I.e., your "normal" or a certain BMI?
Tyb74
August 20, 2014
Yes my insurance paided for it and they didn't require any weight requirements

Don't u worry! The swelling will go down and they will take shape! And they look great anyway (: but rest and remember they say swelling can take a while. Don't b discouraged! (:
