Haven't had any real issues other than a stitch popping through my incision. I could feel it and thought it was a scab until I took a picture. Called the office and was told I could come in and they would snip it or I could do it myself with sterile sharp scissors. Hubby did it - so far so good. The nurse did say it was highly unusual. She said to put polysporin on the tiny hole and bandage it. That was last week and it has closed up!
My left hasn't dropped as much - can really tell with a profile pic. The right has a bit to go as well.
I don't have any real discomfort but have found that the surgical bra I'm supposed to be wearing day and night puts a lot of pressure on my left breast. I'm constantly making adjustments throughout the day. I've started wearing my sports bras more often and found that it's much more comfortable. One thing I am having difficulty with is finding a bra that doesn't ride up and dig into my incisions. I did buy a Warners Cloud 9 wireless bra (fits really well and so soft!). I like it but again over time it tends to dig in a bit.
Oh and so far I've been able to hide them in clothes if I want and no one is the wiser. Sister and Mom didn't even notice! ;) although I did see my sister glance at my boobs a couple of times.

Feeling pretty good - left is very stubborn but it's early yet. It's the more painful of the two as well. Not that it's too bad - haven't taken any pain meds in about 4 or 5 days. I've gone back to work and so far no one has noticed. I didn't tell very many people and want to keep it that way!

I am excited to have found your review! You were very similar to my start and you got what I am getting pretty much. Do you have an updated photo?

I'll post some updates later tonight! I'm just over 5 weeks now and have dropped a lot. The left is a little stubborn!

They look great! I'm going to the same doc in Nov to get 400cc over the muscle. I was nervous over would look too fake but yours don't. I have 2 kids and a bit of sag and he told me the same that over will help and I don't need a lift. Any tips or advice?

Thank you! I went in to the consult thinking unders were better since it seems most go with that. But overs totally work better in some cases. They looked a bit fake when I first got them because they were high but you can't tell now. Heather did say though that if I lost a significant amount of weight they could become a little visible. If anything I wish I would have gone bigger! LOL Try to pick up a couple bras that do up in the front prior to your surgery - this way you can alternate when washing the surgical bra. I went to Walmart and bought a couple cheap bralettes for later on. Dr E will want you to wear a bra day and night forever! One thing I did find this summer is that I sweat a tonne under my boobs! Not used to that - so I wear cheap bras when I know I'll be working up a sweat.
Are you having surgery at the clinic or the hospital? I had mine at the hospital and it was totally smooth, they are super organized and very helpful all the way through.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help! Good luck!

Thank you so much for the reply! It's so nice to hAve someone with overs from the same doc to talk to! May I ask your height and weight? I'm 5 7 and about 125. I'm very thin so that's why overs scare me too but Dr e said I have a good enough about of tissue up top even though I like have no boobs lol but I also want to gain a bit of weight so I'm going to see a doc about my hormonal issues which I think are making me too skinny lol

I look really lopsided in this photo but I don't think it was quite that bad!
