12 weeks post off finally! I love how they turned out and I have no regrets whatsoever. For the first time in forever I feel good about how they look and get excited to try new clothes. My PS still has me wearing sports bras until my next appointment in April. But I'm used to them now, so it hasn't been a big deal.
Here are a few things I've noticed:
1. I'm still experiencing some redness in the bottom cleavage area, but it looks better each week.
2. I'm also still swelling in the cleavage area, which is crazy to me. I never thought I'd have swelling at 12 weeks. But in the morning they look perfect and by evening they're redder and swollen in the center (both sides). Very annoying, but not painful.
3. Since I'm still experiencing swelling I haven't tried on bras again. So I'm not sure what size I'll end up.
4. I started running again. I bought a new sports bra, size 36D. It is for high impact, so it's very fitted and the girls don't move at all when I run. The bra is Carrie Underworld brand from Dick's. I took a pic if anyone is interested.
5. One nipple is hypersensitive on the bottom where the vertical incision meets it. It hurts to touch or when the shower water hits it. Both have sensation loss and I hardly get zingers/zaps, so I'm not sure how much that will change. I'm not too upset though. I knew it was a risk, and the benefits outweighed the risks.
6. I'm still alternating between Bio Oil and silicone strips for my scars. I'm not sure they're helping, but I'm willing to try them for a few months. The strips are a pain in the arse to clean each day, but the Bio Oil is not too bad.
7. No pain at all anymore :))
I'll post again in a month. Happy healing!

Hi everyone,
Just a quick update. Not much has changed. I'm still experiencing swelling and redness on the center cleavage area. I saw a physicians assistant, because my PS wasn't there that day. She didn't think I had an infection, but prescribed me antibiotics as a precaution. I took them and no change. I've now started Arnica chewable tablets to see if they help. We'll see...
I've been using the Bio Oil on my scars for 2 weeks. No change yet, but the oil & massage does feel nice on the scars. Today I started the silicone sheets. I learned I completely suck at putting them on. Not sure how long this will last. They seem like such a pain and this was only day 1. The box says you need to use them 12 hrs. a day for 60-90 days. I'm not sure I'm patient enough for that! I guess we'll see. On a side note, my scars seem to be at the point where they're really red. This is just another stage of healing.
I've also noticed sometimes one nipple will get hard and the other (right) doesn't. Annoying. And I don't have total feeling in either nipple, but more on the left. I'm hoping with time the feeling will return.
Lastly, some days I love them and they're the perfect size and other days they're too big. Still an emotional roller coaster. With every bite I worry about gaining weight, menopause and my boobs growing. Please tell me this too shall pass!
