5 weeks post! Scars and exercise
First of all, thank you to those who commented and messaged after my last update! You really helped me to worry less since I'm so early in the healing process!
I went for a follow up today with Dr Lee and he said everything looks great, he gave me some massages to do to help even out some of the asymmetry and some silicone gel to start applying for the scars. He also said that could try Dye Pulsed Laser, but I'm not too sure how I feel about that, haven't heard great things..
Anyways, here are some pics taken yesterday. The asymmetry is still there obviously but the scars are looking slightly better than a couple of weeks ago.

Scars at 2.5 weeks as compared to 3.5 weeks Post-Op
First of all, ew.
When the paper tape from the surgery got too gross around two and half weeks my PS told me to just gently trim what I could and remove the rest.
Once I saw what was under there I almost wished the tape could just stay on. *Holy Scars Batman!!* I had little blisters from the tape and black scabs and bruising and angry puffy redness. What a let down :(
Also, my left implant is still quite a bit higher than the right so it's pushing my nipple down making my breasts look really unsymmetrical.
Other than in the shower I barely looked at them for a good 2-3 days and tried to remind myself that this is temporary, this is not what they'll look like after a few months and, if I'm being really honest, even if they stayed like this forever they'd still be better than what I had prior to surgery!
Now, at almost a month the scars have calmed down a little, the blisters are healing the scabs are all but gone. I still have the asymmetry but I know that's going to even out with time.
Feeling much better psychologically but WOW what a roller coaster ride!
Anyone who wants to make me feel better about this asymmetry or scarring, please comment :)

15 Days Post Op
Hi ladies,
I'm just over 2 weeks out and feeling great. My breasts are softening up quite a bit, they're just still stiff in the mornings and on the top in general since they're under the muscle.
I've been able to drive for a few days now and I'm really happy to be mobile again, was feeling really fed up of asking everyone to help with everything!
Anxious to see what the scars look like but my surgeon said the tape should stay on until it falls off on its own, which I know is better for the scars in the long run so I know I can be patient for a while longer ;)
