12 Weeks!!!

It's hard to believe it's been 12 weeks! I'm doing pretty good but still dealing with some redness on my left breast from some pesky sutures giving me some grief. I'm hitting that spot with Neosporin several times a day and it's slowly healing up. It's actually healed but wanting the red spot to go away. My breasts are also settling some and I'm pretty happy with the shape and size. I still have a bit of soreness at times but nothing significant. I just wish I could sleep on my stomach. A few times I ended up there during my sleep but it's pretty uncomfortable. I am so happy I did this!

7 weeks post op
The last few weeks have been hectic and a time of healing. Last I posted I was in Idaho in the middle of a heat wave with no AC. I did indeed have a heat rash complicated by the tapes I was using. My surgeons office was awesome and we stayed in daily contact via texting and my sending in daily pics. I got almost completely healed up from that when just 2 days before heading home I developed a sore on the same breast but this time it was on the vertical sutures just under my nipple. I set up an appt. and was able to get right in when I got home 2 days later. Turns out this was completely unrelated to the heat rash and was instead a suture giving me some grief. All of my sutures were the dissolvable kind but once in awhile I guess one doesn't dissolve as fast as the others and can cause some poking. My surgeon put me on 7 days of antibiotics and I have gone in a couple times for rechecks. Happy to report that the scab finally fell off yesterday. I still have some redness but overall pretty happy with my healing. Hope this is the last of any issues I have!

I am 56...I have breast fed 4 years of my life, I recently had to have hernia surgery and I have lost 60lbs. Taking my bra size from a 36 f to a 34 dd....I am all saggy...I hate it. No firmness at all. Reading here gives me some hope, I only have to find a way to pay for this . thank you for sharing!

Hello j hite,
Mine took an immeadiate hit when I started my weightloss journey! I had always been uneven since my first pregnancy and that really bothered me over the years. I'm so glad I finally did it but it took me a good 3 years of thinking about it. I wish you the best of luck whatever you decide to do!!!

Keeping watch
Well for the next day or so I am just sending in daily pics. I am actually a bit better today. The nurse told me to also stop wearing tapes in this heat and to let my boobs have some air. So hoping for more improvement tomorrow. I'll post an update pic here tomorrow too. Thanks to all of you for your replies.

We're truly blessed to have access to the technology we have today. I'm glad that your PS is keeping a close eye on you. I had a problem with my rt breast, I had a full anchor lift with augmention almost 12 months ago. I had a hole in my areola, it had green puss & my skin was raw from the adhesive butterfly tape & regular bandages. It felt so good to air my breast out.
Is your PS giving you antibiotics at all? I'm surrounding u with healing thoughts & prayers. All my best xoxo

I was on antibiotics for a full 7 days after surgery. I slept braless for the first time last night and I see more improcement this morning. If I look back at previous pics I see this little sore but it was never open and oozing like it has been the last 2 days. I feel fairly confident the tapes and being sweaty in this heat are what opened it up. Is dry this morning. I'm in Idaho at my mom's ranch and no AC! Everyday it has hit 100 up here which is quite unusual. Ugh!

I'm so glad you see improvement :) yeah,that's wonderful! So did you PS give u 5 days prophylactically, then once she saw your pics did your PS give you 5 more days? Either way I'm so glad u can see an improvement. :) I'm sorry it seems you jumped from the NV heat to Idaho heat. :( it sounds out rt uncomfortable. I hope the temperature drops some. I hope u have a lovely day. All my best xoxo
