Lefty is a slow healer!

So I'm a full month post op now which feels like it took forever! My left breast is definitely healing slower than my right. It fell into place about two weeks after my right one. I had some more leakage on my left at the 't' point of my incion it has stopped now and healed over. I'm still sleeping on my back which sucks! I'm paranoid because I know a girl that didn't wear her bra all the time and slept on her side two weeks post op and her boobs have a separation. I switched to the hanes comfy bras which are awesome! Very comfortable around the incisions and not totally hideous. This is the first time in my life that I don't need to wear a super padded extreme push up bra, it's such a great feeling I can't describe how much it has effected my self-esteem. This was a very expensive operation for me and I wasn't sure that I was OK with spending so much money on myself but it is so worth it! I'm still only doing cardio and lower body at the gym hopefully at 6 weeks I can get back to the weights again for my upper body.

Slight set back

So after my one week follow up the tape and some stitches were removed and I began cleaning the incisions with hydrogen peroxide and bacitracin, after three days I developed a oozing itching rash. I sent pictures to my surgeons office (I live an hour and a half away) and two minutes later I got a call back turns out I'm allergic to bacitracin. Not a good way to find out! But I was very happy with the quick response from Ali at Dr. Spies office. I'm about to the three week point and the rash is gone I've begun scar message with vitamin E oil. I absolutely hate sleeping on my back I haven't had a good night's rest since the surgery. Morning boob sucks! I'm swollen stiff and uncomfortable. But man it's worth it! They look awesome! I have the sientra round base high profile textured. My left breast is a 415 my right is 440. For a girl who has been teased about her nipple size I'm so happy with their size now! My right breast is healing faster than my left and has settled into place more than my left. I've read that it's common to have one side heal faster. I can switch bras tomorrow which I'm very happy about. I'll see my surgeon again in a few weeks for a 6 week check up.

Love love love Dr Spies and his staff. He answered questions before I could even ask them! He listened to what I asked for made sure I knew exactly what was happening and what to expect. Each visit his staff was welcoming and made me feel like family. My results are exactly what I was looking for I would recommend him a million times over!
