Approved and Getting Close to the Day! - Rochester, NY

The healing process seems to be taking forever on my left breast. I am happy with the end result and wouldn't change my decision at all. I had another follow up with my surgeon and he is really pleased with the results so far. I am including sone ours this time. As you can see I have a small area under the left breast that still has some healing to do. The flap under the right breast will smooth out with time, this my PS says, is the trade off to not having the anchor type of cut.

Hi again. I was hoping to come here and tell you all how awesome I was doing. And really I am doing good, just not awesome.

I was getting concerned about the drain site under my left breast as it was still inflamed, getting red and now hot to the touch. I also discovered under the same breast what looked like the top of a cheese Danish. ( I know gross but i think happy thoughts when hear Danish!)

I call my PS and they got me in first thing two days ago. I have a 5cm area that is tender under the breast that they feel is infected and have started antibiotics. I also have to do a twice daily wet to dry dressing change. This is to slough off the skin that is pulling apart from the stitches. Sound I think worse than it is.

Biggest issue is that now the inflamed area under the breast seems to be draining, better out than in I was told, but the wet to dry is staying wet.

So all in all it really isn't too bad I was just praying for the ideal recovery! The healing in the other areas looks great. Very thin scar that is pretty light right now. I will add pics another time. Just wanted to get an update out there.

Today was my post op appointment and everything looks great. The PS's words! My husband and I were so excited and relieved. The healing is in an appropriate stage and I was given permission to wear a light weight sports bra. Since I had the vertical cut the PS said it was fine at this time but to limit the compression of it.

I feel wonderful right now. The "girls"are even, nips in the right spot and all is well today. My husband complimented me on how good they looked in a tank top!
