6 weeks post op
WORTH IT$8,700
I cannot believe its 6 weeks already!! I am now officially to do anything I want! I feel almost 100% back to normal, just finding it a bit uncomfortable to sleep on my tummy (so I'm not doing that yet) - but otherwise everything is FAB!! Still not really massaging my scars, but putting on scar gel morning & night. I have used up one tube in one month though, so it will be expensive to keep going at this rate. I'll see if I switch later to something else, it does seem very good - so ill keep at it for now.
Happy healing / happy waiting everyone!!

1 month post op update
Today is one month since my surgery and I cannot believe how fast time has flown. I never thought that I would, after just one month, sometimes even forget that I have had this surgery. I find this strange, I have accepted the new size of my boobs SO QUICKLY, and cant quite remember what it was like when they were big!!!!!!! I am so at peace and so happy with them now, that I dont spend any time looking back.
I started scar treatment about 5 days ago, and I am using Dermatix Silicone Gel as suggested by my doctor. The little tube of gel is TINY and it already looks like its starting to run low! If i am going to keep going at this pace, it is going to be very very costly.. I have not seen a change yet and it hurts a little bit or actually no, it doesnt hurt but its more uncomfortable to touch the scars. I am not really massaging them yet, as dont quite know what to do. I havnt seen my doctor since my last appointment. Ill ask him on my next visit.
Other than that, all is fine. I cant quite imagine what it will be like to buy and start wearing a real bra - i am so comfortable in my surgical bras that I am not really thinking about it too much. I just look forward to being able to buy a pretty bra. I have a feeling though that ill be a D cup.. I was hoping for a C cup but I dont think it can be a C cup, they feel too big to be a C.. but I could be wrong, it will be really interesting to see.
Attached is a blurry photo from today, they dont look quite even in the photo, but they are, its just the way my arms are located in the picture.
How is everyone's scar treatment & massaging going?? Any tips??

Isn't it lovely to be perfectly happy with the boobs? I know I am enjoying summer without any boob sweat and rashes :) I was thinking of it just today when shopping in a tiny store without air conditioner. If this had been one year ago I'd be horribly uncomfortable, with sweat, itching and stickiness. It's amazing just how nice it is to have small boobs :)
About the scars I used the kelo cote gel for about 2 months, perhaps more, but gave it up when I couldn't really see any results. For the last month or so I've used a cream I made myself, with vitamin E and rosehip oil, and it seems to be much more effective. It could of course just be time running its course, but I'll stick to the cream until I'm happy with the scars. I you want to try to make the cream do a search for Rosemary's Perfect Cream. The recipe is online. I just made a small change and added rosehip oil. I massage the scars a little when I apply the cream, but not more than perhaps 1 minute at a time.

Hi Cornelia. Glad to hear everything's going well. The breast nurse at the hospital told me to eat plenty of protein after the op. Did they say the same to you?
