I believe i am healing well, i had my appt last friday with my PS. He removed the stitches and told me to use neosporin on a couple of areas as i had some blistering under my right breast. I go back in a week so he can check on the healing progress. I hope all will be well. Good luck and God bless everyone!

I'm doing well so far with the healing....pain is very tolerable although at night I do need more pain meds to sleep. I must say although I saw many photos in various stages of post surgery healing....it was quite a shock to see my own boobs all bruised like they are!!! I get my stitches out in 3 days. After the stitches are out and I've healed for 2 more weeks, then my PS wants to see me unless there's any issues prior. How many times is a patient supposed to see their PS if all goes well following the 2 weeks after stitches are removed? I'm wondering as I'm taking a long road trip and will be gone awhile. :)

3 days post op now and I'm healing well. I was actually afraid to look at my boobs!! Of course i did look and yes, i am all bruised and a little puffy looking. I am still in shock that these are my new boobs! They are literally half the size they used to be! I can see my feet when I'm standing up! The pain isn't bad at all as I am keeping to the advice my PS gave me. I had surgery on my knee decades ago which was way more painful than this. Now it's the waiting game, waiting to heal up, waiting to get stitches out, etc. I noticed the difference in my neck as the pain is virtually gone from there!!! So far so good for me and I hope everyone who has this surgery does well also! God bless!!
