Today is my post op appointment!

Today I have my post operative appointment, I think that my PS is going to take off my steri-strips and stitches, but I'm not really sure. I'm really disappointed because I decided to wear a sports bra two days ago and it felt more comfortable than my surgical bra so I wore one. This morning I woke up and took off my sports bra and saw that the steri-strips around my nipple fell off and there was some drainage coming out from the incision underneath. I'm so sad that I have an infection, I was trying to be so careful :( I rinsed it a couple times with hydrogen peroxide and then showered and aired it out for a bit. Hopefully it isn't as bad as I'm thinking it is.

HELPPPPP PLEASE

I am six days post op now and my incision has become UNBEARABLY itchy. I can't stand it!!! It's not even a short temporary itch that I can ignore, it's the itchiest I've ever felt and it lasts for 10 minutes, if not more sometimes. Is there anything I can do to make it better?!

With mine I was prescribed something to help the itch. Forgot what it's called but worth asking. I never itched at all with that.

Better pictures!

Alright I finally got around to taking some better pictures! I also have a couple questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. Should I just keep the steri-strips until my post op appointment? It's not until next week, I feel like that's so long to keep that tape on? Also, is it normal for some of my breast to be numb? When I touch my breast around where my areola is I can't feel anything.
Thanks again! xoxoxo

You look great ! Had mine done 6 years ago and is the best thing I ever did for myself. I wish you all the best and you'll never regret it.

HI, your results are looking great! Yes, leave your tape alone. If it starts coming off on its own try to leave it alone but if it's really bugging you then CAREFULLY clip off the loose parts with a small clean pair of scissors (I would swab the scissors with alcohol first). Don't peel anything off, it could irritate the incisions. Your doctor might change them at your next appt or might tell you to let them fall off on their own. And yes, numbness is normal and may take a while to go away in places, it is because of the nerves being disturbed during the surgery. Sometimes it can even be permanent but usually the nerves will heal over time. It feels weird but will usually go away. Try not to touch and mess with them any more than you have to!! It's best to just leave things alone as much as possible until your incisions have healed up!! :)
