Hey guys it's been awhile since last updated you guys. I've been super busy. Since my last visit I have graduated as a nurse practitioner, pass my boards, and started a new job,. It's been quite stressful but I know it's going to get better with time. I've had a wonderful summer with my new boobs and cleavage haha. They still don't feel completely part of me for example when I go to bend over it feels weird or if I go to do a push-up or pull up the muscle still feels like it clamps down. I'm hoping with time that'll get better. Another thing is I'm a stomach sleeper in that kind of feels weird as well but not painful, I haven't done any scar treatment in the last few months. I'm looking for any recommendations for cheap scar treatment products. This guy's don't really bother me too much but I would love to lighten them up. I finally got some nipple sensation back. The left boob is still bigger than the other boob but they're not twins they're sisters. I hope everyone is doing well. God bless.

Hey guys,
I know it's been awhile since I updated you guys. I've been focusing on my studies. I graduated in May as a nurse practitioner and I will be starting my new job the end of July. Been thinking about you guys but just no time to update so here I am. My breasts have dropped tremendously and our much more natural looking. The left is still bigger but this is normal. I've given up on scar treatment for now and my scar actually got worse but the doctor said it's to be expected. Any suggestions, is it too late now? I have moderate amount of sensation back in my nipples however they respond normally to temperature changes.

You look fantastic! And congrats on graduating and getting a new job! At 4 months post op your scars are in the “angry phase” of scar healing where they typically darken or turn red. I’m not a medical expert but it’s my opinion that it’s never too late to apply scar therapy, especially in the first year. Based on what I’ve read the basic believe with scar therapy is the hydration to the wound limits the collagen also inhibiting inflammatory cells which can make the scar appear unsightly. Of course there is quite a bit of debate on the efficacy of scar therapy (at any stage). But in my opinion it certainly wouldn’t hurt to try; and you won’t know if it helps unless you do.
Of course here’s the clincher: different things work well for different individuals. I was recently reading a review from someone who claimed to get contact dermatitis from a particular type of steri-strip they were using for their scar therapy; and they believed it caused their hypertrophic scar. So just be careful if you have allergies to anything. In fact early on with my Embrace scar therapy I actually took antihistamines prophylactically to insure I didn’t have a reaction to the tape. Lol. I also took other measures (detailed in my Embrace review) since I have very sensitive skin. You may find some helpful info in my review helpful even if you don’t use Embrace
Lastly your question may also be well served in the Doctors Q & A section here. Of course as one of my favorite PS once said: “if you want more than one opinion on something ask two different PS.” LOL. However I do always find it interesting to see what the different PS here have to say on any subject there. Good luck please keep me posted on what you decide. :-)

Hey love! Your girls are looking amazing!!! Congrats to you on all the hard and time to going towards your dreams of ARNP. How exciting! Scar therapy an be resumed later and it will take time. My scars are the same but women of dark complexion it’ll take quite some time for them to fade more. I’ve been noticing mine are now starting to get a little bit lighter. HAPPY HEALING!!! Please keep us updated!

Hey guys not much has changed besides their continuing to drop and my scar is fading quite nicely. Left one is still quite bothersome but I'll just patiently wait for it to resolve. I still have no sensation in my nipples. I jog for the first time and it was weird. I want to buy a strap to hold them down. Any suggestions?
