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?

It's been a month now!
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!

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

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!!!!

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...
