9 weeks on

I am a little over 9 weeks, no change really since my last posting. At the last post-op my PS recommended a prescription ointment to help soften the scars, which I have been using twice/day since. I am still wearing the silicone sheets at night. They are starting to loose adherence a bit, the bra keeps them in place though.
I did bring up the size difference and have been advised to wait, as the scar on the left may loosen up more. My next appointment is in Jan.

6 weeks

It’s been 6 weeks since the surgery, I have been completely back to normal for a while now. The stitch under the left breast disappeared and the shape of it is coming along nicely, the scar is stretching and the breast has softened and lowered.
I have tried a few underwire bras, but I did not buy any. I am a C in those, so I prefer to stay with the more stretchy wire free Bs I bought after the surgery. My next follow up is next week.

4 weeks post op

4 weeks today, hard to believe … I am feeling great, back to normal and don’t really have any discomfort anymore. I am quite good at wearing the silicone sheets - I put them on at night, take them off in the morning. After a few days of wearing them around the clock, I decided to read the written-in-the-smallest-possible-font instructions … turned out they recommend max 12 hours/day … ooops ! Next time, read the instructions first ?! Luckily no harm was done, so moving on : massage the scars … well, this is where I am not so good, 5 min of massage feels like a veeery long time. I do not see any difference really in shape and size compared to couple weeks back. I continue to fit into wire free B cup and sometimes C depending on the brand, but I have not tried an underwire bra yet. I think in the back of my mind I am worried a B may not work as right spills a bit and I don’t want to think about that just yet.
A couple days ago I noticed another stitch under the left breast, it only comes out a bit, not enough to pull on it, which may not be a good idea anyways. I am going to keep an eye on it, if the incision continues to heal well I will wait until my next post op.

Dr Rodger Shortt is a perfectionist - professional, knowledgeable, great bedside manners, an amazing surgeon with a great sense of humor and a great personality. He genuinely cares about his patients and his work. He once mentioned to me "all I have is my reputation". I live by this motto myself and was amazed to hear it from him. This was my second surgery with Dr. Shortt and he lived up to it each time.
