My scars (5 weeks Post Op)

WORTH IT$6,700
Just wanted to share a picture of my scars since I haven't yet. I really had to get a weird angle to take this since they're so close to my natural crease (yay! My dr. Seriously is amazing!) I'm alternating using Vitamin E oil capsules & Mepitac brand silicon tape. Currently preferring the tape but just bc its comfortable, and doesn't come off easily. The oil is just a little sticky/greasy so makes a mess on your bra a little. Excited to see how they heal though! What are you guys using?

Your scars look great! I ended up taking my steri strips off with warm water like a week ago because I got sick of them and didn't think they were going to fall off anytime soon. Dr. Rockmore recommended a skin medica gel that he likes so I ordered some online but its really expensive. While I'm waiting for it to come I am just rubbing vitamin E moisturizer on the incisions. When I first looked at the scars they were smooth and flat and now they feel hard and bumpy but improving with massage. Did that happen to you?

I totally forgot to ask him when I saw him last but good to know that's what he recommends! Yeah mine were a little bit bumpy at first but I think that's just undissolved stitches. My bumpiness has gotten less so hopefully yours does too!

That is good to hear. I was kinda worried at first but figured it was a normal part of the healing process, which he confirmed. He is wicked fast at e-mailing back! They seem to be getting smoother when I massage them.

Yeah that's good! How much was that gel if you don't mind me asking?

I think it was like $58 on Amazon for the 2 ounce bottle. It better last a long time for that price! Its called Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel.

By the way he said I could use over the counter products too if I wanted but that he has found that they don't work as well. I just took the advice because he seems to really know his boobs haha

Lol true! He does! But Thanks girl I'll have to look into it :)

Your scars look great! Min are still red and I'm putting vitamin e on them as recommended by my dr. If there is a target near your they sell vitamin e oil in a bottle so you don't have to break capsules every time :)! I only use the oil over night with a comfy and not very cute shirt because it is greasy!

Oh good to know thanks!

I'm officially 1 month (and 2 days) post op! Everything is going great. I haven't really seen much change over the weeks. Honestly I never had them riding high or any squareness. They were dropped by day 2 lol! I am very happy with my results and recovery. It could not have gone smoother. I'm going back in a few weeks for my 2nd post op appt. My steri strips are finally off, yay! I've been alternating using vitamin E (the capsules popped open, one on each incision) and using metipac silicone tape to help them heal. They weren't bad at all though! I will post an update on them soon, forgot to take a picture before I put my tape on. I started working out again and feel pretty good. Taking it as I go & only somethings feel funny, like planks & back flys so I'm gonna avoid those for now. But other than that I'm great! As far as size I'm currently a 32DD at VS. I found my size myself through trial and error in the dressing room because let's face it, they don't know how to measure there! Especially augmented girls! So I avoided that. You know what fits you and what doesn't better than anyone else so that would be my suggestion! :) save yourself the stress!

Wow... you look amazing. I am 16 days post op and have some serious dropping to do. I was not as lucky as you are.

In can't wait to start working out. 2 more weeks. Thanks for the update. I am happy to see you are progressing so well :-)

That month just flew by! You look amazing!! Yay us for those dreaded steri strips finally falling off lol How have the vitamin E capsules been working for you? Do you apply once daily? I'm thinking about getting vitamin E oil to begin massaging with nightly. I know you're glad to be able to ease back into your fitness routine! I'm so nervous to do back flys. I think I'm going to steer clear of those for a while, too lol
January 7, 2016
So far so good! Not sure when you start to see progress but they feel good and aren't irritated or anything :)

January 7, 2016
Wow, you look AMAZING!!!!!! The month went by fast!! I saw the Dr. Yesterday for a 'preop' chat.....the girl that does his scheduling, Liz, is so nice, and HE is just so calming and reassuring!! I will be going next Friday and can't wait to just get it over with and get healing! I am going to try and post more 'before' pics but really having a hard time taking them...going to try using a mirror and see if that works better than what I did the last time. I bet you are just thrilled with your results!!!!
January 7, 2016
How exciting! Yes Liz is sooo sweet!! Can't wait to see yours!

Quick update.. Finally was able to sleep on my side(s) last night! Hallelujah! Lol the best feeling. My steri strips are still hanging on.. Should I just let them be? Also wanted to recommend a really comfy lounge or sleep bra.. The Calvin Klein sports bra. I got mine at TJMaxx for $12! I've also seen them at Macy's for about $28 I think. Not super supportive but So comfy and soft. BUT they will not cover your nipples lol. Mine seriously are like hard and super sensitive now like 24/7 when I pretty much had no sensitivity at all prior to my surgery lol. Very happy with my results and they're getting softer everyday! :) I also got some underwire bras that I can start wearing at my 1 month park ( as suggested by my Dr.) he said they won't change too much, they'll just get softer. Currently a 32DD at VS. almost feel like I could go up to DDD just bc of my breast width but I'm sticking with the 32DD for now.

Does the band not hurt your scars? I noticed that sports bras that have a band like that rub on my scars and after awhile I have to take it off.

Also I don't sleep with a bra anymore. I like it better but my doctor said it was my choice. How long do you plan on doing that for?

I haven't gone to Vs yet since I thought they might change when they drop. Might go after my one month too and see! I'm a bit scared of underwire Bc of the scar... Not sure if I'll start wearing them anytime soon but that's all they have at Vs. I wonder what' size I will be...
