Do you have feeling in them?

YES!!!!!!! I have greater sensitivity since the surgery....I like! I discussed options with my surgeon and expressed that sensation was an important part of my sexuality. A free nipple graft was not something I wanted unless the surgeon deemed it medically necessary for a healthy reduction.

I can't seem to settle on a formula or routine. I use bio-oil sometimes, vaseline sometimes, and mepitac tape sometimes...depending on how my scars feel. And I TRY to massage once or twice a day. I have scars going almost to my back, those still hurt. So it really depends on pain level.

My surgeon provided Mederma advanced scar gel and fluocinonide cream which is a steroid cream that I mix together for scar mgt and swelling. I understand the scars, mine also go toward my back under my arms.

Good to know that was recommended. I have been using a generic (cvs brand) mederma, but ran out last night. Maybe I will buy more.

First day back at work....I'm swollen and exhausted!
I don't have a sit down job, but a very active position in the health care industry. I'm swollen and exhausted! I so missed my afternoon nap today. I continue to have a small area under my right breast that continues to have some drainage. I still place breast pads over areas due to chaffing along bra band and to monitor drainage. I continue to wash with hibiclens for bacteria management, towel dry and use a hair dryer on cool to make sure all incision lines are dry. No fever or redness, so I'm assuming the staph infection has been cleared. MD says all looks good and will f/u with him again in three weeks. Also still very swollen on sides if breasts.
