Hi all, sorry have been MIA. Dont even know were to begin, first i think am happy i have done the surgery if I would do it again not to sure. I have not been the best candidate so far its been one issue after the other. Breast started to settle down, which by the way its still uneven and black and not so pretty. Next think a swelling on top of my belly button, serious pain and fever, PS took me back in surgery last week to clear out the infection been off work sick for over a week now. Not sure when i would be over all this and be 100%
Am just taking each day as it comes and praying nothing springs up again am on my 3rd course of antibiotics.
What i would say is i guess it just my luck things have not gone smoothly for me, i would however like to say my PS James Murphy and his nurse Jackie are exceptional they have been really good and always there with solutions to all my issues. When i call about any issues they saw me straight away and ensured things were dealt with immediatley i know things would have been worse if I did not have my PS and his nurse. I would like to say a massive thank you to them and they are the best. Any1 considering a TT or breastlift should definatley go with them you are rest assured the after care is 110%.
Looking back at my old pictures i am definatley happy in my new body and am hoping as time goes on things would settle down and improve.
Finally a massive massive thank u to my dear RS friend Janeellie she has been a solid rock all through this period always encouraging me and reassuring me things would settle down and i would get better. Thanks so much darlings.
I hope everyone on the recovery road is doing well with no issues.
I think am about 8 weeks gone hopefully things would turn out great eventually. All in all am glad i did it i love the way i look in cloths very lovely it out of cloths thats not so fab lol. Hoping to be back to work next week and to enjoy a fabulous xmas drama free.
Have a lovely holiday everyone [RS bleep]

Wish i was happy
Hi all, have summoned up the courage to take some pics, am so depressed and sad and at this point i cant see the light at d end of the tunnel.
I cant believe at 4 weeks post op i would be at this low point. Everytime i take my bra of to change the pad am crying my eyes out at what happened to my boobs its so sad and disheartning.
I dont even know what to do i wish the bleeding wld stop and for now my boobs look so ugly i cant bear to look in d mirror or for my hubby to look at them he's been supportive and optimistic but at the point of me being so depressed and unhappt its breaking him as well.
The issues i can see which i wld like any advice on are:
1. Underneath the breast has a hole sippong out blood today is day 6 should this still be happening.
2. The line along the stitches is hard and swollen and bumpy.
3. There is a dent inwards under the boobs which is turning black and very hard to touch.
4. This as all made the boobs uneven in shape.
I really need to know if things would change and another surgery would not be required.
To other things i am still using gauze on the BB there is always 1 sticky thing coming out its not dry i have to change gauze all the time is this normal i thot by now that shld be healed.
Tummy from the pics is swollen i have to suck in which i can do now with no pain otherwise it looks and feels huge. Am 4 weeks post op now is this still considered as swelling? Can any1 pls advise me on what post surgical garment to buy to help with the swelling at the moment i wear the cg given at surgery which is a very soft binder dont think its doing much. When i go out i wear my old ones. Am not sure what to do to help with the swelling.
I dont even eat much at all when am unhappy i cant eat i try to just nibble on something as i start to feel faint from not eating i cant seem to pull myself out of it as i cant bear to think what if the appearance does not improve and am just scared nothing else goes wrong. I neva envisaged things would come to this i was seeing my ps nurse abt 2wice a week so i cant say i was neglected am not just sure if the infection shld hav been caught sooner before it got to this stage. I have also looked at d site so see if i wld find some1 with similar compliants but i cant really and the ones i see talk abt corrective surgery or scar revision. I am not sure i can face that again.
I just want things to get to normal and i can be happy again i thot the surgery wld improve my relationship with my hubby but at this stage its driving us apart. I see my ps on tues for my 4 weeks post op i really pray he has a solution.
Thanks ladies such a shame to not have a postive review i cannt wait to get to that stage. Any advice on the tummy wld be great pls or on anything to put my mind at ease. Thanks ladies [RS bleep]

It's very early in the healing phases. Each day and month gets better
trust me. The swelling is the worst part besides the waiting for 6 months plus for the final results and scars to fade.
Stay positive&keep your eye on the prize. You'll get there. :)

Dear Beebaby, you're going to have to dig deep and get yourself out of this state that threatens to overwhelm you. I know you can do it. Please put your tummy before pics by your after and see how far you've come. It may not be perfect yet but that's because you're still very early in the healing process. You're going to have to wait it out. No matter what we tell you, only you can choose to truly decide to be patient and give things 6 months minimum for healing. So every time you change your dressings choose to change your thoughts from the really negative to something like "I pray that you get better boobs. I wish for the best results." This thought may not be believable at first, but you'll feel better and then things will indeed start to get better. Your hubby loves you beyond your body and if you're going through a tough time, please let him help you. Let him know that it's a healing process that takes a year and you start focusing on the improvements you have and being more positive. Dig deep.!!! Also, you can post pics with questions to RS doctors and they'll give you their professional opinions too. In the end, only you can choose to feel better and not let your mind be consumed by the depressing thoughts/feelings. I hope you feel better very soon.

Feeling more like myself
Hi Ladies thank u all for the positive messages and i did have a lovely bday it was fun and i felt like my old self. The anti biotics and draining did help a lot. I have just stopped taking pain meds i took them for a month solid thought i was getting addicted.
Went to see the nurse ystday blood still coming out from boobs seems like am on a neva ending period from d boobs lol. Its still hard, lumpy and all ugly on d right boobs am just praying time wld heal d wounds and it wld become normal and d scars wld fade. Am back to work on monday not looking forward to that have been off for 4 weeks so time to get my butt of my recliner. Still sleeping on recliner as i cant sleep on my side due to the boobs.
Tummy on d other hand is fine i still look like a drawing board when i look in d mirror no definition or shape i dont even know how to address that issue, seeing my ps on tue for my 4 weeks post op will speak to him.
Am just praying in 3 months i wld be over d moon with my results at the moment it looks ok under cloths very very far from wanting to wear a bikini or flaunt it. Dont like for my hubby to see me without cloths still looks a mess. Am happy d surgery is done its d looking nice bit am really looking forward to will post some pics maybe its mee not seeing the good side to d surgery yet.
Thanks ladies and do all have a wonderdul wkend. Xx

At one month post sx most of us still look pretty bad- the scars just don't heal much in that time period. Everything I've heard and read says that MOST scars take a year to fade, and that after that they'll usually continue to heal. At one month, you're just past the initial healing, barely starting the fading. So they WILL improve. I had my sx Aug. 1 so am a ways ahead of you-- I had just the TT with MR, not breast work. My scar is still pretty dark so very visible naked- easily hidden in underwear, but of course I see it every morning after I shower so I have to think about it! I think looking at these scars every day as we have to do, makes it hard to see the progress. But when I think of what it looked like a few weeks ago, I know there has been considerable improvement. Going back to work will be helpful to you I bet, because you're back to a normal routine and have less time to worry about sx concerns! I went back at 3 wks. post and was still walking a little hunched over but nobody seemed to notice. Got sore walking around a lot, but had no real problems with returning at that point. Now I have some occasional tightness in my lower tummy area but easy to ignore. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Hi ladies than u all for d best wishes and bday wishes much apprecaited. Trying to move on with life but whenever i change d gauze and see d boobs am beyond depressed. Funny how i cld not bear to look at my tummy when it was huge now i cant bear to look at by breast! Very horrible i can even describe it. I pray it can be resolved and it was my worst fear i really shld have let them be. Seeing d PS on tues for my 4 weeks post op and i pray he tells me something that makes sense. Am still bleeding its been 5 days of period boobs. Below my boobs by d incision is hard, black and dented inwards it just looks awful am just crying on why this happened to me. I hav searched dis site and cant find anything that explains wat it looks like. When next i change my pad will summon d courage to take pics so u ladies can hav an idea. Sorry ladies to be moaning but this is d only place i can express myself. Thanks for all ur kind words. [RS bleep]
