Just a quick update. All is well, things feel good. As mentioned, I went to silicone strips when my Steri strips became sticks and yucky. Here's a closeup of my incision as of this morning. Happy overall with the healing. Definitely want to get to a gym and hit the bags for a while but I know I have to wait til I talk to my doc. Next week is my follow up.

Incision looks good. Can barely see a scar

Really happy with these silicon strips - the brand I'm using is "scar away sheets" - cost about $19 canadian. I use Mayan Miracle Cream $38 (available at Whole Foods) right after my shower then put the strips on when the cream soaks in.

He's incredible. And his office staff is way more patient than I deserve :) This Mayan Miracle Cream is available at Whole Foods in Canada - I'm not sure of you can find it in the US, but if not I would recommend Amazon.com.
The silicone strips are available at Walgreens & CVS for sure. They vary in price from about $20-$79 a box, but you re-use them. As mentioned, I started with a $20 box and have only used 4 of the strips (2 for day and 2 for night)

Your scar looks amazing! I am definitely going to pick up some silicone strips for post op :) my PS said as long as there is something on them (whether its steri strips or silicone strips) it doesnt matter!

Well, here I am again, 16 days post op, I think.
I've bought some incredible bras. Love shopping for them now (wearing 34F now in 2 and 34G in one of them).
My Steri strips were sticky and yucky so I'm using silicone strips from the pharmacy as of today. It's making the incisions feel much better.
Breast wise, my left is feeling (to touch) like a breast and not weird. It's soft and nice and there's a bit of movement. My right feels tighter and there's still some discomfort on the right side, kind of above my incision nowhere my breast meets my ribs. There's also this very disconcerting feeling like my nipple and part of my breast is still "asleep" (tingly but in a not awesome way) or sunburned or something.
So I took a picture and here it is because who doesn't want to look at my new boobs, really? Anyway, I notice from the picture that where my left feels better to me, in the photo it's very subtly higher than the right which has all the weird sensations.
Anyway, still happy overall. Also found a nice Under Armour sports bra, so it's been a good yet somewhat expensive week.
Cheers.

34G.
lol
It's my fave of my 3 new ones. Although my bank account isn't magically refilling itself so I better stop spending like I'm going to the chair.
