Hoping for a Successful Surgery and Giving It a Second Try - New York, NY

I'm a little late in writing this but my boobies are doing great! I'm so in love with them and they seem to be healing well. I've been sleeping on my stomach more and have had no complications so far. When I get home from work I take my bra off for a couple of hours to let them breathe a bit. I have been have some pain that feels a little different but I believe it's due to that time of the month. Still swollen on the sides and I can't wait for that to go down and shape into normal breasts.

For the most part everything has been good this week. I still have some draining where my right breast starts to leak a bit. I'm able to sleep on my side a bit more. I get random pains throughout the day which is to be expected. I still have thread through my nipples and I'm not sure what to do with that. My friend told me it will dissolve on its own so we'll see. My incisions have been itching a lot and I'm trying so hard not to scratch them. Still in love with my new breasts. Can't wait until it's fully healed. Oh and I'm still swollen in some areas. Especially on the sides.

Skittlez, yours look sooo good!!! A great surgeon u had!!! My right breast leak a tiny bit too but I'm not worried though. Before I got on this thread I had just put some icepacks on my boobies because the swelling is much like yours. My underbreast doesn't look as good as yours though... :( I've been doing a bit too much. My scars are healing but it's turning dark underneath. What do you put on yours? I don't want to have dark under boobs! I'll post my pics Monday for you though!!!
Keep up the great healing!

Thanks Hun, girl I don't think my underbreast looks good.. Lol. I can't wait for it to look like normal breasts!!! But the only thing I've been using is cocoa butter. That was what my doctor told me to use.

Ok. I feel like I shouldn't put anything on it because I have two tiny open sores under each breast. It seems like it's taking forever to heal though. Idk what else to do to it besides keeping it clean and putting salve and gauze on it. Smh makes me kinda sad.

No need to be sad Hun, it will heal in its own time. It's annoying but the hard part will soon be over.

You are healing great! Looking good! I am still feeling swollen too and super itchy and sensitive, even though it's also numb. It's like the surface is extra sensitive while underneath is numb. I hope it all gets sorted out soon because it's really not pleasant.

So I had my doctor's visit on Friday and he told me everything looked good and I can take off the tape now. I wasn't expecting to do it myself but I guess that's just how he does it. So far I've taken off tape around my nipples and it was ok. Later I will try to take the tape from underneath although I'm a little nervous about it because I'm still bleeding a bit from there. But I will update what happens.... Oh and my nipple are ultra sensitive!!! Lol.... What do you all recommend for scar reduction?

Looking good! I think the best thing for scar reduction is time and keeping the scar out of the sun. There are tons of expensive products available and some people swear by them but there isn't a lot of solid evidence they work. Lots of doctor's swear by the silicone sheets to flatten them out. Good luck.

Hey babes!!! The babies are looking really reay good!!! Just 3 weeks ago we were nervous and now look at us! Lol
My bottom half of boob is concrete feeling (numb) but the nipples are ultra sensitive as well. My right boobie is giving me a bit of a struggle and I think that between laying on that side and then wearing a sportsbra all day has contributed to that.
Bur otherwise healing is going. Lol wish it was a bit faster! Lol
