3 Weeks Post Op

I was able to take my surgery tape off at 10 days post op. I was pretty concerned about the difference in how my two aureoles were sown up. The doc said its cause my stitches are on the inside, and recommend to massage to aid in the stretching. I've been keeping them moist w/ Vit E oil and Aquaphor hoping this will aid in the stretching. He said it could take 3-6 months to dissolve all the stitches. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!
Other than that, I've been massaging the multiple times a day.. They get so sore when I wear a bra. The left one is a little behind in the dropping process, but the right one is more stiff.. Lol only time will even them out :)

Massages - Breast Displacement

User Avatar

Today is a great day, I'm feeling much better. I can start doing my breast "massages" today, but I'm kinda having a hard time. My breasts are still really hard, and I feel like I'm not applying enough pressure. But all the videos I've seen, the women were at least 2 weeks post op, so the were much more supple than mine.
I also have some spots where I have no feeling, just tingling sensations. After I had my daughter, the area between my breasts lost sensation. It hadn't really bother me until my new breasts stretched out this area. And now its a greater area with no nerve sensation.

The only reason I was able to sleep was from my meds.. Think I would have been completely miserable with out them. I did wean myself off them before I left through. Besides for dropping, they recommend the massages to prevent capsular contracture. And actually recommend that I do them at least one time a day as long as I have the implants. Mine are still so hard, its hard to know if I'm doing it right, but I will keep at it, and thank you!!

I will be getting a brazillian butt lift from him in July. I know he is very good with breast augmentations but i haven't seen a whole lot of his brazillian butt lifts on the forum so it makes me kinda nervous.

I liked all the Docs that I talked to there. You should call and ask for them to send you pics of all his work with those. I worked with Gelen, she was great and very helpful. Also, be prepared to feel like your a number to them during your consultations. They get so many people pushed through there, but they are great, especially the Docs. They will answer all of your questions :) Good luck!! I'll be waiting to hear how it turns out!!
