11 months later...
Things all healed up around June, which was the 5 month mark. I noticed a little bit of sagging returning and went to see Dr. Nichols. He assured me that this happens, but it will not return to the way it was any time soon. I did some research and found that the return sagging DOES happen with this procedure, no matter who does it. However, looking at my latest "after" photo, I still say it was worth it. The only thing I would say to anyone deciding on whether or not to get this done is to weigh whether it is worth it to you, knowing it can and most likely will, return to some extent. Like I said, for me, the improvement is still worth it.
Yowzers!
Just passed my 4 week mark. At my visit today, it was decided that we are putting a wet-to-dry dressing on the 3 problem areas. I wish we could have started this a week ago. The doctor did more silver nitrate and wow that stuff hurts. I feel a lot better about a plan of action going forward and I feel like I got a lot more information about taking care of this at home. I was given all of the supplies to do the dressing change twice a day and Enma even offered to come in over the weekend to help if I wanted. I guess I'm still looking at a month before I'm healed, so that's a bummer. My stomach still looks fantastic and my breasts seem to be settling in more and looking good.
Why did I do this to myself?
A little over 3 weeks out. I'm not sure what is going on with my incisions and implants. My breasts look really strange with regard to position. I also have a few spots that are open on my incision and there is a spot where my cleavage meets my stomach that is pretty much just a hole. The surgeon put silver nitrate on the bad spots two days ago but the place at my cleavage isn't doing anything but seeping out more fluid. The surgeon asked me to come back in a week. I'm totally freaked out at this point. I don't feel like I'm getting much in the way of care instruction or reassurance and I guess I've reached the "I wish I'd never done this" point that I hear everyone reaches at some time in recovery. I have pictures, but they are pretty graphic so hopefully I'll have something pleasant to post before long. One positive... the incision directly under my right arm looks fantastic and I think the scar there will be minimal. The other side is also pretty thin but the scar is in kind if a zig zag line. And they are nicely healed.
