Congrats on your surgery! You look fantastic! How has your recovery been going for you so far? I had my surgery last Thursday, so I'm only 4 days post-op. Still feeling wiped out every day though. Your scars look very faded already!

Thank you!! My recovery has been really good so far I think. I was completely wiped out for the first couple days as well. I had my follow up at 5 days and he said everything was looking good and I didn't need to come back for 2 months

2 months? That's amazing. Good for you. So you must be healing very well indeed. What does your PS advise you to do for the next couple of months? I go back for my post-op this TR. I'm looking forward to getting our of this surgical bra and taking a shower!

He just advised me to wear a sport's bra until I'm ready to wear a regular bra. It's completely up to me. I never had a surgical bra....just bandaging and ace wrap for 24 hours. I was able to take all of that off and shower the day after surgery per my PS. He just had me get into a sports bra after my shower. That's about it....said to call with questions.

Isn't it funny how there are so many different treatment plans offered by the PS for the same procedure?! A lot of women on here use different lotions/oils/tape to help with healing process, once they've been given the go ahead by their PS to start scar treatment. For some it's anywhere from 2-3 weeks and it depends a lot on how you're recovering too. From my understanding, scar treatment can only take place once you don't have any open sores or need antibiotics etc.

Blisters?!!!

I have developed these blisters on both breasts, beside and under the steri strips. Doctor office says that it's from the steri strips being too tight. They are very painful! Has anyone else out there had this happen? I am in tears!

Today is the day after my surgery. I got to take the bandages off and take a shower. So I got to "see" my new boobies. ???? I am SO happy already. I was a 36G and it looks as though I am a D cup now. But....I won't know for sure until they settle into position. They are very swollen and up really high on my chest.

They are perfect! I am having my BR on Dec 2nd, I'm a little nervous. The doc said he will take me down to a D cup taking about 100cc from each side. I would love to follow your progress since I will be right behind you with new boobs.
