Don't worry I had the same feelings after surgery but as the days go by you will see the changes and feel much better , what worked for my insitions was let them air and put mederma it is the best for scars the doctor also suggested to clean my insitions with soap while showering and I purchase the tape to cover them again so that they close correctly . Try not to lift your arms since I was told that this can make your implants go out of place . I got the lymphatic massages and that was the best it helps with the swollen and the pain I really works believe me ...

On the bottom of the breast , my surgeon recommended it since he mentioned that it was one of the best options you don't loose any feeling this way and you can't see the scars.

They look healthy to me, granted I haven't seen to many at the 26 day post op. I think the two members I've seen in here from dr Hochstein has theirs fall off around week 7. I also think that is what makes a big difference in the appearance as well. You will be ok!! Just breath, they will only get better from here as long as you treat then nice and take care of them. Send Jennifer a email in the AM with the pics and see if she wants you to use dermatitis ultra or put silicone strips over them. If it helps you mentally to put healing strips on the for a week or two so you don't go crazy wanting to look at them all the time then do that. Make sure you clear it with the office. And we are all here!! I can only help so much because I haven't experienced it yet, but from what I have seen I feel it's so early for you to tell/be concerned with the appearance. I am a 110% worry wart so I can sympathize with the concern that you have with your body. I can tell you from a outside perspective I think they look fine, given you are 26 days post op.

I send J the picture she said when he gets there she will ask him,which makes me believe it shouldn't look like that because if its normal she would have seen it before..so a few hours later she responded me he says those are stitches dissolving that's why the skin is overlapping. If you look close at it it's like there's a few different cuts like its not a straight cut,atleast that's what it looks to me :(
November 6, 2013
I think it looks like different cuts because the skin is overlapping. Make sure you don't touch it/mess with it too much because you definitely do not want io irritate it. What did they tell you to do as far as applying cream or getting the silicone strips?
November 6, 2013
He said apply the cream but I bough tape and covered again I can't even look at it,I know I sound like a drama queen but Im really depressed about this surgery.I looked at Maggie's post and she has pictures on her 27 days and they looked really good.I just posted a question here for the doctors with a picture of it. I'm considering just going to a PS here and ask for his opinion.Im very self conscious now my fiancé will be here in 2 months and we haven't seen each other for a year. So not looking forward to that one. I don't see how those scars could become almost invisible that way they look now..I'm also getting married when he comes back but I'm so afraid he won't like me....when we talked about this surgery his only concern was the scar.i told him I found a great ps and his reviews were amazing, I obviously was not expecting this.

hun! I feel for you, that is a MAJOR concern of mine as well. One of the things that I have read on multiple surgeon's sites is that... even though it is hard to compare your post op with others, you shouldn't because everyone heals so differently. I would use the cream for 4 weeks, and take a picture once a week and see if you can see a visible difference and if you are happy with the improvement. Then if you are not, and/or you are still concerned whether it is normal or not I would go and see another PS in the area for a second opinion. I feel you are still so early in the post op to tell... again its easier for me to say this because it is not my body. But from a outside prospective I would say that if you use the cream like you are supposed to I feel that in the long term, your scars will not be an issue. You have been in a emotional rollercoaster and i totally feel for you! Hang in there and do whatever you can to take care of them and not think about them for a couple weeks. You will only improve from here.

I followed lovemyhuskies and it took hers 6 weeks and 2 days until hers came off and she kind of peeled the steri strips off. So thats 44 days and your 26.... I would just use the cream and/or keep them covered as long as its ok with the PS. Try not be be down... and your fiance if he doesn't like you his loss! You are amazing for having the guts to go through with the surgery and you will be much more happier down the road when they don't feel so big and your scars are more healed up. Don't fret... just take care of them, give it time, love yourself... and assess the situation after some time has passed and see where you are at :)

I had the areola incision. One of mine was a bit puffy and I started putting the silicone strips scar strips on it during the day while I'm at work. It seems to be bringing the puffiness down a bit. In six weeks post and started the strips about five days ago. I think your size looks really good on you and some of the "roundness" will go away and you'll probably love them even more :) you look great to me!

Yours looks greats even 7 days out they looked better than mine :( ill be 4' weeks in 2 days..
November 6, 2013
Yeah, I did. Mine might look better because the pics are taken from a bit more back. And all my scars (even my c section scar healed really fast), so just give it a bit more time and try the strips. They should clean up a bit. I looked at some really close ups of mine from earlier and they weren't pretty. I do think I just heal fast though, if that helps.

Scars take time. In fact, time will be your best friend over the next little while ;) Great result!!
November 6, 2013
Hi Girl!!! You look amazing :) Make sure to give the office a call if you are having concerns with anything. I didn't have much communication with Dr. H after the BA but whenever I did have a question, they answered promptly! Your results look fantastic and you will love them. It takes time to adjust and if you ever feel down or depressed please message me or post an update!!! You won't bring us down. We are all here to help and support each other. Much love, Maggie x

This one looks a little better.. Atleast it does not look like I was cut twice like the first pic..I would be okay if they both would look like this.
