$7,000
a week ago i went to wa-lmart to buy me a new support bra and.......... I DIDN'T WASHED BEFORE WEARING IT!!!! shame on me !! my husband told me to do it but i never thought that it was going to be any problem :(
so the next day i wear it i started to developing a rash and it spread to my nipples real quick
yesterday i wet to see my PS and he told me to buy CORTIZONE CREAM and CLOTRIMAZOLE CREAM the first one to use it near the incisions and the second one to use it on the areas away from the incisions.
i know that the cortizone is to help with the rash but the clotrimazole is to treat athlete's foot symptoms??? i don't know why but if my ps told me to use it i will.
thank you to all the kind ladies that gave me me advise about the rash , THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
I WILL BE MORE CAREFUL ON WHAT I WEAR ON MY BREASTS SPECIALLY IT HAS TO BE CLEAN
PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE BECAUSE THIS RASH SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME!!!!

i just have like 2 little pieces of tape around my nipples and im waiting for them to start falling because i don.t want to do it myself specially in my nipples, but my problem was that i bought a new bra and i didn't washed before wearing it and that cause me the rash right away!!!
thank you for your support i hope everything works well for you too =)
Hi--oh yeah...washing every new bra is a must! I do that all the time but now after the BR I even started to use washing powder with no colourants, no fragrance...have enough skin reaction already can do without them..

Glad to hear this is behind you...So happy for your results..I am sooooooo far behind you all but I will get there..eventually.

So glad to hear that you figured that mystery out!

I had that same type of rash. I found out that I was allergic to the steri strips AND the glue they used to adhere the strips. It was HORRIBLE!! I was given an RX for Hydrocortizone cream 2.5 percent. The rash was VERY painful and extremely itchy. Look at my profile pics and you can see the red rash. The rash was actually worse than those pics but I did not want to post them because I did not want to disourage anyone else from having this surgery. It is so worth it. Good luck!.
I had the same reaction to the strips..I am now through my 4th type of tape - still having skin reactions..My doc shown me a trick: he shown that as long as the outer gauze pad is clean I can change the used pads and dont bother removing the sticky tape. He said the less times I have to peel off and stick on the sticky tape the less "damage" is to my sensitive skin. So I started with this trick. my rashes are on the top half of my breast far away from incisions so I started putting BioOil on it to help their healing...but these sticky tapes are driving me nuts too! Your results look amazing! I hope all will improve even more for you! Hang in There !

im feeling really good, only sore on both sides of my breasts, im dying to be able sleep on my stomach , im still feel like that my breasts are big, but in excellent shape!! =)
heres a few pictures of my breasts at 3 weeks from surgery
the vertical incision is numb, my nipples are super sensible if i touch them it hurts.
i think that im very swollen on the sides
i don't know what size im right now and i don't want to know all i know is that i can still wear my old bra but it fits me perfect nothing spilling
i will post more pics. if something new happens (i hope not) or when i notice a big change.

oh good i am so happy for you!!

It is disheartening when you aren't as small as you had dreamed of being, but I think your pictures look really good. I can really tell the difference the lift has made. I hope that as a few more weeks pass you will become happier with your new breasts. Good luck!
