6 week post op

This week has been really good. I have a couple of concerns, one bring the right sidea t-junction. It is having an issue completely closing, is still has a hole that is about the size of a pencil head. And the other is the thickness of the scar on the left. It feels way thicker than the other scars. I'm concerned that it will not allow the breast to round out around the bottom. I'll see what it does over the next couple of months though and if it doesn't thin out I'll talk to my PS to see what needs to be done with it.

This past week has been the best yet. Outside of some zings here and there it has been great. I saw my PS last Tuesday and he said to start massaging them to help reduce what's left of the swelling and to help flatten out the scars. He also told me to go ahead and start wearing underwire bras to kept the "girls" looking good. So after going and getting fitted I am very happy to report I am a C! I am beyond excited about that, on top off that I haven't had to put the girls back in place, they just stay put! I can't remember a time when I didn't have to reach in and pull the back into place several times a day. I am so happy I finally went and had the reduction done. It has been so worth it!

4 weeks post surgery

This week has been good except for I think I've got the beginning of an infection starting on the right side t-junction. I noticed yellow drainage on Saturday night in my bra so I immediately cleaned it and put antibiotic ointment on it. The drainage has stopped but I can see what looks to be a small pocket of puss right at that junction. Im going to continue with the ointment until I see my doctor tomorrow morning. Hopefully keeping it clean and covered will get it bank on track. On a really positive note I tried my old bra on this morning and it is huge! I am absolutely overjoyed about that! I feel a little better everyday now so I think I have turned a good corner in this recovery process.

My experience with Dr Shaw has been very positive. I would definitely recommend him.
