Sorry it's been a while since I checked in! I took pics at 6 wk, but just never got around to posting. All is well! I'm starting to feel like they are really mine. I don't think about them 24/7 anymore! Lol! I think in the last day or so they have softened up quite a bit. They are not pillow soft yet, but still much softer than they were. I apply the stack cream religiously twice a day. That cream is really awesome and it is working quite nicely for me. Although, I have to say that the containers don't last long. I did my first real workout today. I usually like to do HIIT or kettle bell or a Pilates/yoga mix. Today I did a low Intensity interval workout without weights. I wore 2 sports bras and felt like I had enough support. Stretching was an unusual experience though. Moving in different ways with exercise made me notice that I am still tight in some areas and sometimes my pectoral muscles still feel like jello. I just took it very slow today. We will see how I feel tomorrow!

Looking amazing! It's good to hear you say you're starting to feel like they are yours and you're not thinking of them 24/7 because I've been feeling a little frustrated today thinking I'm never going to feel "myself" again (dramatic, I know.) I think it's the lack of good sleep, the blister issue and these random pains and aches. I'm ready to turn a corner and I'm praying the blister I developed doesn't leave a scar! Your scars are looking really really good. I think they will be nearly invisible within a few months if you keep up your treatment! Woohoo! Do you have any lingering pain or aches? Happy healing and congrats on getting back to working out!!

I know the feeling. It's funny because I will catch myself doing stuff that even just 2 weeks ago I was convinced I'd never be able to do again. Lol! That feeling passes and suddenly you will just turn a corner. From your blister looks pretty superficial by your pics. I bet it will not leave a scar. You could try the Biocorneum scar cream on it if it leaves a questionable mark. You look really great too! Are you happy with the size? About the pain- I haven't had "pain" in probably 4 weeks, but I do get the occasional zinger that lasts a few seconds and goes away. Nerves are mending and muscles are healing, so I'm sure it is to be expected. The only aches I have are if I slide down my wedge pillow at night and I wake up almost flat. Then my chest feels achey, almost like engorgement from breastfeeding. But it goes away after a few min.

Wow your scars look amazing jo kidding some of the best I have seen on this sight and I have looked at a million. Has all the feeling in the nipple returned since surgery? I worry about loss of sensation. Your looking awesome

Thank you for the compliment! The scarring was one of my greatest post op concerns, but in all honesty I really don't mind them at all. I know what you mean though. When you're researching about this and you see some of the pics, you're like, "heck no!". I think those docs need to take some lessons from Dr. Cohen!

About the nipple sensitivity- I've never really lost sensation. In fact, I'd say I have more sensation now than before. Even immediately post op with the swollen nipples and the tape, I felt all of that. I'm grateful that I haven't lost sensation.
