Healing Speed

Did anyone else find themselves hitting breakthroughs way faster than their PS said it would happen? It's been a week and my bruising is practically gone, the swelling is nearly gone, they just seem way more than a week out. I keep double checking the date to make sure I'm not wrong. I dunno, maybe I just psyched myself up for more recovery time than necessary.

In other news, my swelling and bloating went down so much that the surgery bra wasn't comfortable anymore. So I went to Target and picked up the bra in the photo. It's a medium! I don't think I've ever bought a bra that was sized small/medium/large before. It's not quite comfortable enough for sleeping (I'm using the front clasp soft bras I ordered off Amazon for that) but for daytime it's nice to have the support and slight compression from the sports bra.

I'm really in love with how cute and tiny they are. I am excited for more people to see them. My sister is having a shindig on Sunday and I think I might head there and show off a bit. Afterwards is dancing but if I go to that I'll just chat and hangout. Can't lift my arm enough to put on any of my leads' shoulders yet. ????

One Week.... Er..... 6 Days Post Op

So apparently I can't keep track of days. Thought today was Thursday when it's actually Wednesday. Oops.

Anyway, here are some pics I took after my shower today. Everything seems to be healing fine. I don't really notice any pain anymore. Every once in a while I get a zinger but that's it. My nipples seem to have the same (miniscule) amount of sensation they used to, which is better than I was expecting.

Only annoyance I am having is that there is a stitch sticking out near my right areola and while it doesn't hurt it is just annoying. I want it to go away.

Puckering

Hey all, does anyone have a suggestion on how to prevent scar puckering before the incisions have closed? I'm getting a little bit and I'd like to start working on it as soon as possible. I know massaging the scars after they close helps in the long run but I wouldn't mind working a little before that.

In other news, tomorrow is a week post-op so I will be posting a bunch of pictures. Wanted to wait until they were more comfortable being out of the bra.

Very efficient but very kind and soft spoken. Listened to all my questions and made sure to answer them as thoroughly as he could.
