Concerns?
Just wondering about a few things I see. You may not see it in the photos because I'm not the greatest with the whole selfie thing but it would be greatly appreciated if I could get some input.
For instance,
1/ my incisions are still sore, particularly under my arm and in between my breasts. When does it stop being sore all together?
2/ it looks as though I've still got bruising too. I've been using arnica cream around the incisions but not sure if it's really done anything.
3/ my incisions under the arm are starting to look 'ropey' I think? My ps said to call if they did but is it too soon to make the observation?
4/ my left breast although a little softer remains hard to touch along and around the Incision line under my arm. Also my left breast still looks a little bigger. I didn't have lipo but also have more weight to lose. So do you think it'll go down because it's fat in the are All? Or should see the hardness as something else? I know no one is symmetrical but I don't want to look too unbalanced.
5/ finally, still wearing sports bras. Should I start looking for regular soft cop bras? I think the irritation on the incisions under my breast is because of my bras riding up in that area and not sitting flat because of my belly. I also still sweat in that area. So any suggestions on bra info would be very welcome.
Other than that I hope all of you are healing well too and look forward to hearing from you. :)

Steady gains...
Just started to be able to sleep on my side somewhat. Propping myself on the sides with pillows definitely helps. I'm wearing soft, seamless sports bras around the clock still but I wonder...when should I be thinking of buying 'regular' soft cup bras? I would love to grab some deals Boxing Day so any input here would be appreciated. I'm still bruised and sore on my incisions but I have to remind myself it's only been 4 weeks. I've gotten the go ahead to go to the gym and lift weights and run believe it or not but I'd have to double bra for that and if it doesn't feel good to stop. So I may try this week? Not sure. Worried about falling apart.
I'm recovering the feeling in my nipples but still quite painful when pressed on. Also, my right breast is dropping and soft vs my left breast which is bigger (still swollen?), hasn't dropped much and still moderately hard to touch. No hematoma just looks a little asymmetrical. I hope that will change with time. I'm thinking I'll add silicone gel to my Bio oil for scar treatment this week. My small spots have always been closed but we're pink in color and are starting to darken? Other than that all is good :)

2nd Post-Op Appt Complete.
So I've managed well so far. I don't have pain but I still have occasional soreness particularly along my incisions. I've used arnica gel in the areas surrounding them with some relief but not long lasting. I also bought some new sports bras today because although the Walmart ones I originally bought were okay they still had seams that bothered me quite a bit. I had also bought them bigger (now my swelling is going down) and with moving they may have caused irritation as well.
I've begun scar treatment and use Bio Oil. Had some hanging around from my last use so I thought I'd start with that before getting into scar sheets/silicone gel because they are not cheap here. I don't believe I have openings as I've seen in a lot of the pics on here but the spots look and feel more like my scabs have come off. Ps said They looked good and I think he was probably a little surprised at that. All the same I've applied a small dab of polysporin to them to make sure no infection gets in them.
Definitely getting the feeling back in my nipples and getting zapped is not fun but I'm glad I feel something. I've been sleeping on my back for the most part with a little turn to the side every so often. Can't stay there but it helps to ease my butt lol.
I've been doing a lot of walking, able to carry groceries but will use my cart if I'm getting a full load. My ps reassures me my body can take certain things. I guess I do have fear that they'll just fall apart :/ but I have to try to know. So I'm going to try and get on the bike at the gym this week. When I tried on bras today I tried the jump test but it was too sore so I know those types of exercises are still out. However, I was soooo giddy trying them on and probably looked like an idiot smiling to myself because I couldn't believe I was able to get into them AND they cost so little! I became teary at the cash because when my purchase was rung up I couldn't believe it and I wondered did he get that right?!
Anyway I love my boobs...scars an all...its been a long time coming. Thanks for listening :)
