The first year i struggled with nerve pain. which has gone away, parts of my boobs are still numb and are worse durning that time of the month, but i am getting feeling in some of the numb spots over time and my left breast itches still, anyone else have this 2 years later????????????? My scars are all skin colored. I have never regreted it and love them. i will post pics later. i am at work and it may be strange to upload them here!

Had my week 5 appt, I have asmall incision tear looks gross but he says its okay. Watch for infection. See him in two weeks. Because of the tear stuck in sports bras. I started going back to gym this week. I can only do about a half hr before I wear out. Baby steps! I asked him about the unevenness if my nip area abd he said I am stilling healing and the actually are starting to look closer in shape.

Hi Montana Gal, you look great! You have a similiar body type to me so I am inspired, but I was wondering how many days did you need help after surgery, and what did you need help with, I know washing hair and lifting, but otherwise did you feel comfortable being alone?

My husband took care of me for 4 days, and then on and off. If u have someone that can take care of you longer take advantage. You will need help showering first and maybe second time, I needed help getting dressed the first week, I kept everything at waist level easy to grab

Montana Gal-did you have your BR in Montana? The reason I ask is because I live in Montana and am considering a BR myself. If you did, would you mind sharing where and who did the surgery? I don't know anyone who's had the surgery to ask about PS's in MT. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a PS in Billings. Have you heard anything about any docs there? I have a consultation coming up in early May.
