Ready for Boobs - Miami, FL

Well, I've been gone for a while. I've been busy getting settled back home and doing a course.

I can say I'm really happy with the results so far. I still have soreness/pain in my left breast and sometimes even now in my right. I don't know if it's from working out, or if it's the nerves healing. I emailed Yadira about my concern and she said its normal to feel pains for up to a year. I also spoke to a friend who got a BA about a year ago and she told me that she just recently stopped feeling those pains. I'm glad I have friends who have had BA's and I can run to advice for.

I hope my January ladies are progressing well. I need to check up on you girls!

It's been 3 weeks! Time flies, but I wish it flew faster (in terms of dropping and fluffing). My right breast seems to be doing very well and my left one is doing a lot better. It's still numb/sore in the lower pole and both nipples are still quite sensitive. My scars are healing nicely, but sometimes get itchy. I just put on some coconut oil to keep it moisturized. I've looked up essential oils to mix to help with the scar tissue. I don't know if I want to use bio oil since I've read mixed reviews. Does anyone have any input on what they use or on bio oil? I know I said I would be using silicone strips but I'm a sucker for holistic, natural stuff.

My scar tissue that's forming is also causing some pain and feels quite hard. Anyone have any advice on that? Or experienced it and how long it took to go away? I don't know if it's normal, but the scar from my femur surgery went through the same process, so I'm going to assume it's normal for scar tissue to become tough (I'm also a human biology major, so that's why I'm not so worried about doing too much research). I'm just try to massage out the scar tissue as best as I can to loosen it up.

Well, here are my photos. It seems to be going well. I am still a little high in the upper pole, but I'm massaging as much as I can and just being patient. I am DYING to go back to the gym, even if it's just to do some leg exercised without weights and stair master/ inclined farmers walk on the treadmill.

Hope all your ladies are doing well!

So I've had my up days and down days. I went back to work this past weekend, and it was pretty difficult maneuvering through a club crowd, but I got through it. I didn't take pain killers because I want to feel the pain to know if I should slow down and take it easy and listen to my body.

I took my steristrips out day 10, and I was really happy with the scars. I stopped wearing my strap (yayyyyy!) because I was told I didn't need to wear it anymore. Yadira has still been wonderful with any questions I have and in communicating with Dr. Freiman for me.

The extra pain that I've been feeling in my left boob has gone down a lot, but still a little sore. They are still riding high, but it's only been two weeks, and being patient is really difficult! Last night was the first night I fully slept on my side and it was WONDERFUL. I actually had a dent in my bed where my butt is when I sleep on my back. My husband is still wonderful. He massages my back when it's sore, helps with taking off shirts and has walked the dog two times a day (we usually split that duty).

I've been doing my massages and it feels weird to feel the pocket at the bottom open up. I freak out and think I'm doing it too hard and that I will bottom out. For anyone who's bottomed out, what does it feel like? I thought my left one was going to bottom out because it was just chronically sore and hurting, but the pain has subsided and it looks similar to my right breast. I worry a lot about all the things that could go wrong!
