Nipple repair
WORTH IT$8,000
Dr. Hardesty told me he would tattoo my nipple to look like the other one. It would be better for me than to try and stretch what aerola was left. I asked him how much would the tattoo cost. He told me there would be no cost since there is no surgery. When I called to schedule the procedure, his office told me it would be $250.00. Very disappointed. I knew there was a cost for a room for reconstructive surgery, but I'm not having any surgery. The tattoo would only take a few minutes. Very disappointed in them now. I will have to find someone to tattoo me.

Seven weeks
Seven weeks and all my t sections are finally dried up and almost healed. When I reach, I can feel them pulling. Still have dead skin on my left areola, though it does look better. The right breast where I spit a stitch and have an open wound is starting to close up. It is half way closed and not as sore as it was. I have an appointment on next Tuesday. Hopefully this wound on the right will be all closed up. I can tell it will still be a while for the left to heal. Still see dead skin/fat. Left breast is still very hard. I keep massaging both and they are softening up. Both breasts are numb along the scar going down. I have feeling across the bottom, ribs. Right nipple has feeling, but left doesn't. UGh.

Hi, its been a few weeks and I was just wondering how you are doing now? I know you had some trouble with healing but I pray things are much better now!

Going to work tomorrow
I am about 6 weeks now. Doing pretty good. Spitting a lot of stitches this week. Pulling out almost daily. Can't wait until it is over. My left t incision opened up, although it is smaller. Next to it, I spit a stitch and now I have a little pain. The right t incision spit a stitch today too. I think I got 4 out today. The doctor pulled off the scab from my left areola to aid healing. It looks better without the scab. Actually it feels a little better although i am still draining serum.
First day of work tomorrow. Kind of nervous. Taking supplies in case I leak and need to clean it up. I work 12hours a day and am not looking forward to it. Although, maybe if I am not dwelling on my breasts all day, they will seem to heal quicker.

It was not bad. Just very uncomfortable. My bra irritated me all night. My second night I wore a different one and padded the edges with gauze. That helped some. This week is much better. The openings I had are now dry and healing, thank God! I have one opening that is very sore though and the doctor cauterized it Friday. Very painful. Hurt all night long at work. This week it's so much better. Just have to watch reaching because it pulls at the t sections. Thank you for asking!
