Hi ladies
I've been doing very well, although still feeling tired in the afternoons. The body is taking lots of energy healing. I still have tape on scars but some is falling off after the shower. Today I saw part of the scar under my right breast and it looks red and raised which is probably normal but still made me a bit anxious.
I would like to start putting on some ointment to help the scars heal better. What do you all recommend ?
Thanks for all your shared beautiful wisdom and community of support !

Once the ace wrap comes off which is 2 weeks after surgery I can use the cream or silicone strips. This was the Dr Feng recommended it.

Yea, being tired is normal. Those scars will heal. I would ask you dr to avoid irritating them so early and maybe disturbing the healing process. I would wait to treat them for awhile. I am cautious though. The redness and bumps will slowly go away. I am happy your healing well. Thats awesome! Big hugs.

You look amazing! Such hope for all of us who made rash decisions in our younger years. My dermatologist swears by Mederma for scars. I have a lot of skin cancer issues and one skin graft. I used scargel strips for the graft and really I'm not sure I wouldn't have done as good or better with just Mederma. Do check with your surgical doc to make sure not to jump the gun on when to start using the scar cream. Be patient ... I know its hard. I have seen so many pics of women who have had lifts and their scars subside so nicely!

Again, your results are beautiful and your size is perfect. You must be thrilled to be au natural!

I've been doing so well, trying to minimize pain meds but realizing that I still needed some yesterday. Ice packs help a lot too. I haven't had any meds yet today and hope to stay off for good. I'm feeling tired out, I may be doing too much as I've gone out every day for a while. Today is a BBQ with friends so I hope I don't get worn out. Some bruising but overall looks good. I will post photos separately. I've been trying on some of my clothes and everything looks better. Wow ! This is such a wonderful revelation to appreciate your true self. I hope you all have a great holiday and enjoy the freedom from implants ! XO

You do look amazing, I was told by my surgeon he uses drains when there is excessive bleeding but only had them for one day and no problem removing. Looking forward to your up dates, not sur why I'm not taking very good photos everyone else's photos look great I can't get a good angle. Good luck with healing
