Feeling better about things. I emailed the dr some photos the other day and he just basically said it all looks good and being that I'm diabetic it will take longer. I have dissolvable stitches but it seems that it does not end flat. I'm wondering if I will need a revision of some sort there or if that is the dog ears people talk about. I also don't seem smooth in my cleveage area. Guess time will tell after I do the massage and scar creams. Waiting on those to after I close all the way. My dr said 30 days, but I don't know if I will be all closed by then.

glad ur feeling better... sorry u are healing a bit slower. i am curious about what ur describing....do u have separation or is it just ur incisions looking bumpy????? i have some bumpyness when my ps took my tape off after the first week. but now my incisions are all smoothed out. so im sure what ur saying will heal and smooth out in time. it took about 3 weeks for mine to look smooth.

In the clevage area its like there is still extra skin. On the sides its more the issue of where he closed/ended the stitches. The finish does not give me a rounded look. Its like he stopped the stitches and then there is extra skin from where it was gathered. I'll try to take some pics but I'm not sure I will be able to put them up. On the left breast I have open areas at the T and also at a spot below the areola

oh id wait and see about that. i had the same and over the healing process its should heal up and even out for u. if u look at my tzone pics from 4th week compared to before u can see even my vertical incison was bunched a bit. its leveled out since and is flat and smooth.

Massage and creams on the scars will help those areas alot. You will be able to use increasing pressure as time goes by and will be surprised at how quickly the areas start to look better..

I have a few open spots. I'll see how I am tomorrow and may send my PS a picture. I didn't have some of these when I saw him on Wednesday, but it was really hard to tell as once he took off the tape, answered my questions he left the room and I didn't have a mirror to actually see what was what to ask any questions about anything I saw that was not just right.
The sore area under my breast seemed much better after a few days. But today it really started to bother me. Actually I think its in a different spot but same general area. It is a bit hard (so not really like a blister in that regard) so I'm just wondering if it actually is stitches underneath.
I'm not quite sure what to do as we are under a hurricane situation here, so its not like I can just go in and see him. Just wondering if I need an antibiotic. Righty seems fine, its just lefty. And the 2 spots around my aerolas have seemed to join as one now. Why can't this be without incident?
I just got notice about the office closing tomorrow at noon. I emailed the 2 guys I support and told them that I'd work from home as long as I have electricity, and that I wasn't sure when I would be back in the office as I really have to limit my lifting (thinking lap top here) to help in my healing. I usually shlep my laptop into the office in my rolling briefcase, but I have to lift my brief case in/out of my car, and then lift the laptop onto my desk and set it up. I also then carry it from meeting to meeting, etc.
At home I'm keeping my work laptop on my desk and my personal laptop on the table in the family room so i have less shleping to do.
I'm trying to be very careful with lifting/carrying with my left arm Had the kids do much more stuff today!
