42 Yo Getting a Breast Lift (Second Try Posting This) - Towson, MD

This time around is easier! I massaged my scars a lot and I think that really helps! I was massaging one side more because the area toward the center had lumpy scarring... that side was looking better than the other side and I've been massaging it for a week and it's much smoother that quick!

Still a small opening under right breast. Nipples are getting color back around the perimeter. There's tightness on my breast when lay on either side, but it's getting better. Only pain when I press my fingers across my incisions in some places. They have dropped down some. When I stand upright, the incisions aren't visible now!

The shape is weird to me, nipples look different sizes and boobs seem small to me! Still happy I had it done! I like my small, weird shaped boobs better!

Happy healing RS!

I had my one month follow up last week and things are healing fine... I go back at the three month mark... My PS wanted me to put antibiotic ointment on the T incision of my right boob... I've been doing it and it keeps the area moist and I believe it causes it to heal slower! Just placing the gauze without ointment on it, caused it to have a scab and my PS said the new skin needs to grow.

I saw a little thread on the horizontal incision of my left boob. I don't know if I got it out because it started to bleed when I picked it. That part of the incision hurt when pressed, the thread was probably the cause.

I'm returning to a regular workout this week to see how I feel.

I have to go back and look at the pictures, to see the beginning process of the surgery to see that I have come a long way! It's only been three weeks and I have more healing to come.

I like the shape of my right boob better. I only wear my bra at the gym at this point!

Im happy to be back to working out, just can't do any bouncing around or heavy weights.

I can sleep on my right side. I feel pulling under my left boob when I lay on my left side. I slept on my stomach for the first time last night. It was more comfortable than sleeping on either side.

I feel some pain when I run my fingers across my rib cage. My incisions hurt in some spots when I run my finger across the incisions. There are sharp pains here and there, that go away pretty quickly.

I like having smaller boobs... smaller perky boobs... I'm shy for my SO to see them when I'm naked, but in my clothes I feel much better than before.

Pulling and snipping threads has been a pet project. I think I'm finally done picking scabs also. Only one spot at the T on my right boob is still healing. I put coconut oil on my boobs for the peeling. I haven't put anything on my incisions yet.
