I haven’t posted in a while... yesterday was my 6 mo P.O. Although I am pleased with my results, there is something that isn’t sitting well... I’m either not getting that )( that I desire and I’m starting to think they’re too big! This is not a complaint about my doctors work or the healing process or anything of the sort. Re are days I love them - then others where I try on low cut bodysuits and they’re HUGE! Then there’s the slight “sag” in the cleavage. I’m beginning to think I’m crazy - I already went in to have a revision (additional nips on either side of my breast making a U shape instead of the small inverted T I now have) but was leaving for NY and wouldn’t have ample time to recover properly for the additional scarring on either side of my breast. I told my doc it wasn’t anything critical of his work and although accommodating, I felt like I insulted him. I need opinions so I can go back in November armed with proper dialogue and complete a revision if really needed.

3 weeks (and 1 day) post op
Not much change - still dropping. I’m sleeping on my side and waking up on my stomach. No pain. I do have some “cords” underneath my breast which I have to research but my fiancé had neck surgery yesterday so I’m rushing thru this update to get to him! Happy Holidays everyone!

They look really nice. Your scar looks like it's healing very well. Are you happy?

I’ll update as changes occur... 16 days P.O.
So the scabbing is almost gone on my left (your right) and coming along nicely on my right. They’re bouncing around and I’ve laid on my side and even woke up on my stomach twice with no pain just a very, very slight discomfort when I get up. I think the right side is lagging slightly but i don’t care too much about that stuff. I know what to expect and I’m only 2 weeks P.O. time, time, time. I’ve been applying Aquaphor to them. I’m not sure what is right, wrong or frowned upon - but I figure this can’t be completely wrong to do. I go for my month P.O. on Jan 3 which at that time we’ll discuss scar therapies and next steps. Hey healing everyone!

Glad you’re healing so well! As you know I’m a big believer in Aquaphor. My PS gave me clearance to use it prophylactically to protect my breast skin from all the swelling and bruising. Some believe it helps to prevent a number of post op skin issues (i.e. rash, suture infections, etc.) including stretch marks. With my very 1st augmentation I ended up with a huge wide stretch mark in my lower pole; I didn’t use any moisturizers back then. My current PS cut it out when he did my breast lift. This time around despite all the stretching of my skin breast (with the lift) I have no stretch marks at all. I’m inclined to believe it was because of the Aquaphor. I also did not have the itching, rash or burning sensation that many other members here have described. I applied it at least 2 to 3 times a day. Good luck and happy healing!

I’ve found that it’s helped me a great deal - a scab was peeling off at the connection of the bottom of my areola and the vertical incision - it came off on its own but the scar was pink and I was worried that it was too raw and sent a pic to my surgical coordinator. she said not to worry. so I put AQ on it to create a barrier and protect it. perfect! I sincerely appreciate your info as that helped me in healing. thanks M!!!
