Out of the Blue - Pittsburgh, PA

Updated my pics for month 6. They have settled completely at this point, but are still 10 times lighter than before, and firmer. I still have mild numbness in the right nipple. And the left is still completely numb on the surface. But I also still have a chunk of scar tissure above each one that is slowly shrinking, so hopefully feeling will come back when that goes away. Looking at those before picks just now through me for a loop. It is so easy to forget that I ever had to live like that. And it wasnt even that long ago.

You know what, I haven't been on here to update anything in about two months, but I was just browsing through all the reviews and saw that I had 13 thank yous on mine. That made me so excited. I am so happy that my experience was able to help and comfort as many people as it did. My six months just passed yesterday, on valentines day. I will post pictures asap. Hopefully within the next couple days.

I hope all of you looking into this and who still linger here even after your surgerys are in good spirits!

Hey ladies. It has now been two months since the big day. I am back to normal 99%, the only little quirks are still not being able to lay on my stomach for any amount of time without feeling like I am pulling something, and the insane amount of numbness I have on my side boobs. My incisions aren't even noticeable when you glance at my chest, and the twisted one under the right side is slowly sinking into my skin.


The follow up two weeks ago went really well. No underwire until month 4, just to keep the scars from hardening up and raising. But she said I looked really fabulous and asked what I used on the scars (thanks to all of you for recommending Palmers!).
The numbness will probably last on and off up until six months she said, since the more you do the more you swell up the blood vessels and cause new numbness. it is a weird sensation, like I am rubbing the skin through fabric. The muscles and tissue can feel it, but the skin can't. Like trying to scratch your leg through jeans. This extends from my nipples and gradually reduces as it heads out toward my armpit. The tops and insides have 100% sensation however.

Anyway, that is really all I have to say. If anyone wants pictures, I will try to find time to post some.

In the meantime, I hope you are all still doing fabulously! And for any ladies just starting their journey, ask anything you want and I am game. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself!
