Hello girls! Well I'm just past well past the 2...

Hello girls! Well I'm just past well past the 2 month mark now & can honestly say the worse is behind me. Every inch of incision is completely healed now, Thank God! and even that horrible T-junction that didn't want to heal is all better with a very minimal scar. My worst scars are on my sides from when I pulled them sleeping on my side (take note newbies!) In fact that is the only area the scars are raised or thick feeling, everywhere else you can't even feel the scars.
Although I am completely thrilled to have smaller breasts I'm not 100% thrilled with the outcome. My right breast is bigger and I have a dog ear of sorts under that arm where theres a pocket of fat that the lipo didn't get. I was hoping it was swelling but after this long I doubt it. Also my left breast looks a little mangled with a crooked vertical incision & its a bit pushed in under the nipple at that spot and above the nipple is a puffy area where the skin is looser than other places so when i look down I see my nipple on the right breast & just that puffy area on the left. . Also the shape of the two breasts are not the same. I keep hoping things will even up & have been told it takes a good 6 months to see things do so but i feel pretty settled at this point.
I added a few pictures, showing my scars & my new favorite around the house bra, just a cheap little number from Walmart but so comfy & cute.
I still have discomfort sleeping on my side but can now do so for short periods of time but other than that I go long periods of time without even thinking about my boobs these days. Nice eh?
To all my regulars, Piggles, Se1fie,WC & more, I wouldn't have made it through without you all. Much love & friendship to you all.
Happy Healing!!

Had my check up with the PS this morning & I...

Had my check up with the PS this morning & I passed with flying colors!! I don't have to go back for 8 months,unless something comes up (which i hope it doesn't) I have been cleared to swim, exercise, bath, all the things I've been missing. He said I can ease into wearing an underwire bra, no more than 4 hours at a time to start. He said they are very irritating to incisions so if I can hold off for a while I'll probably be better off. So I will. no biggy. I asked him about every little spot I was concerned about. He agreed there is a tight spot pulling under the left nipple but massage & time will work that out. He was quite impressed with how my breasts were looking considering the last time he saw me the left was all inflamed & sore & the right was still a bit swollen. Things are almost even now & the nipple are pretty much lined up which was one of my big concerns. I do have a puffy patch under my arm from the lipo that is still a bit sore & uncomfortable to lay on but he said that could take up to 6 months to feel normal and that the lipo is often the last to heal.
If you had asked me a month ago, at the 3 week point, if I was happy with my outcome I would have been on the fence. definitely second guessing my decision some days at that point, but now I'm very happy. I saw a friend today for the first time since my surgery. she knew I had it done and she said "If I didn't know I wouldn't even know you had surgery I'd just think you lost weight" which is great by me. what woman doesn't want to look like she lost weight.lol. especially when shes up about 20lbs haha.

And the topper of the day was stopping at the mall & finding some really cute bras, they were 2 for $25 on sale, but marked down even further to 2 for $15 because the store is closing. when I get to the cash they were even cheaper - 2 for $7.50!!!! seriously????? I almost cried. I'm telling you. the money I save on bras alone is going to pay for this surgery. :)

Laters, Babies!

ps

Just a quick note, I added a picture, I don't know...

Just a quick note, I added a picture, I don't know if the difference is obvious to you all but in just a week of using the Palmers Oil I've noticed a huge improvement. Not to mention I feel like I've finally turned the bend, things aren't hurting as much, no more open areas at all ( BIG YAY!!) and I feel like my energy levels are almost back to where they are. The only area of concern I have now is under my left areola the incision seems to be pulling inward a bit causing the nipple to appear lower & downward, Side on the area below the areola is flat & sort of pushed in looking, its just a bit weird. I noticed the incision below the areola on the breast had almost a y a the top of the incision, so the incision splits about 0.5 inches below the areola, not sure why, but perhaps that has something to do with the pushed in look. The vertical incison on that breast isn't straight either. I wonder if the PS had trouble with that one in surgery. Oh to be a fly on the wall eh?

Hope you all are doing great!! luv ya ladies!!

I am very pleased with my outcome so far, Dr bendor-Samuel is very kind & friendly, easy to talk to & open to questions. I did find that you don't get to see a lot of him, especially after the surgery. I've been in twice since my surgery & only get to see the RN. And if I call its always the RN that calls back. After care is not very detailed & I am left with a lot of questions, which they will gladly answer if you call but it would have been nice to have things already when I got home. Bottom line is though, he is a great surgeon, has now done BR on myself & 2 friends who are both very happy, so overall I'm happy I chose him.
