I am itchy!! I'm healing well and have good energy. Still swollen from the bb down just past my scar and I still can't feel that area, either. I am using the silicone scar strips on the sides of my tt and on the T scar of my breasts. I hope it helps smooth them down. My bad spot is still awful looking but it's drying out and not infected so just need to be patient????. I got a Coobie bra and I really love it! It's very comfortable and stays in place without rubbing. Anyway, that's all hope everyone is healing well!!!

I originally had an appt. for Tuesday but I have had an issue with my TT incision so he had me come in early. My inverted T incision has a hole that showed up after the glue came off. I was treating it but was relieved when he asked me to come in and check it. He prescribed some silver cream and said it was common at the TT intersection but it was healing from the inside out and would not look ugly when healed. They took all the rest of the glue off and what a difference! My scars look nice and healthy and I am cleared to use scar cream. I can wear a regular bra now and don't have to wear one to bed anymore. Even with my bad spot I am really thrilled with how everything is healing, I can't believe this is my body!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter????????

You look amazing. So glad to hear that your TT issue is not an infection or anything like that. I have a PO on wednesday. I have an issue with my right breast at the bottom of the T. Not sure what it is. I just emailed the PS with pictures and he usually writes me right back but, its late and he has a brand new baby so he might be sleeping or chances are with a new baby he might be up and answer me back. You really look great. Isn't it funny to look at yourself in the mirror and see a totally different body???? Weird right?
You do look great! It's totally strange to look in the mirror, like getting a dramatically new haircut and not recognizing yourself. I can't imagine what having a nose job would be like, identify crisis!
I hope He gets back to you that's always so stressful waiting for that reassurance. I look at my before and cannot believe he took that and made this with it....amazing☺️
It is incredible when you think how long you lived in your before body for all that time! I put pants on and don't have to tuck in anything or put a bra on without leaning over to scoop it all in

Hello! Third time trying to post this hope it works! Started my 2nd week at work and so far so good. I have a little hole at my inverted T incision where the glue came off so keeping gauze on it to help it heal. A lovely RS sweetie suggested Duoderm dressing for it so have that coming from Amazon and I found Zeroform gauze on Amazon and ordered that, too. It's gauze that does not stick to wounds so either one will help me????. My left breast is not loosening up like the right so they look uneven now. Also, there are pains and aches in both breasts and they are really itchy. Trying not to itch or rub them at work has been a challenge, let me tell you! Started my period this weekend so a little swollen but otherwise I feel like things are healing and just need to stay patient. Hope this finds you all healing and happy????????????

Your tummy looks so good! Perfect hourglass shape. I bet the other will loosen up. I feel like I look at my incisions constantly hoping to keep from any issues. I am starting to spit some stitches in my breasts; gonna leave them for my surgeon. Glad you got a good recommendations on the gauze. Real Self has been such a blessing during this.
looking good!!! I agree nice hour glass shape!
So funny I was reading your post about the Duoderm suggestion and my primary made me see a plastic surgeon here because he is neurotic and doesn't like that I'm not having follow up appointments with my PS because he's in another state lol and because of my spitting stiches and breast holes. So I went to the new PS and he goes "So what have you been using on these wounds and I go Medihoney first but because of allergic reaction to the adhesive from the tape stopped that and am now using Duoderm. He raises an eyebrow and asked who prescribed you these things? and I said I read about it on Realself then ordered it on Ebay! and he said then what do you need me for you're doing a great job all by yourself! HAHAHA I thought that was so funny! My left breast was having the same issue because that's the one that got the bigger implant just massaging it helped loosen it and make it softer and itchiness although annoying as the doctors at my job say itchiness equals healing I hate when they tell me that! I read your April 3rd post too you're looking great! And you're going to love Duoderm it sticks right on and forms this little gel covering over the wound that heals it up so nicely and no redness or itchiness like tape! Oh and the little gel covering kinda looks like pus don't get scared. Happy Healing!!
That's too funny! My PS was surprised at what I was doing for my issue as well
