Three Months PO

Made a comparison pic from 1 month to 3 months post op, subtle but noticeable changes in shape for sure! Cleavage gap is getting even smaller.

As far as healing goes, the area I had the spit stitch is still healing, it hasn't completely closed over. I'm also spitting a stitch on the other side now :( my body just hate internal stitches! I've also started feeling some significant pains around my crease incision at times, but I think it could be related to the implants dropping on the scar tissue and maybe nerves regenerating. The pain comes and goes once in a while.

Spit a Stitch!

The stitch that has been trying to come out finally broke through the skin yesterday. I noticed it in the shower, it hurt to touch and my breast felt slightly tender. I emailed the office right away and they were able to fit me in the same day which I was so grateful for! I would have been so anxious having it hanging out there for a few days. Thankfully Dr P was able to pull and trim it down for me. Not going to lie, it was a bit painful. I have read stories online where girls (from other surgeons) had to do this themselves, I would have passed out if I had to do that myself! Dr P didn't even ask me to do it myself, he said he would do it for me. What a relief! I was expecting there to be a hole after the stitch was pulled and trimmed but is actually quite nice looking and way less painful now than before. It was bothering me so much before, rubbing against my bra underwire. I can finally relax!

I've never had stitches before so thank goodness for the Internet as I wouldn't of even known what a spitting stitch was. Had I not found out online I probably would have thought this was a pimple and popped it lol! Apparently it's pretty common with any suture using dissolvable stitches, which is what Dr P uses, and he says it takes up to 6 months to fully dissolve. Hopefully this is the last of it!

Two Months PO

I must say these last 2 months have gone very slowly. In terms of how I'm feeling, I feel totally back to normal and feel like myself again. I no longer feel like I have something foreign on me, they feel like my own breasts now which is such a great feeling! I still have some soreness when I wake up in the morning but that goes away after a couple minutes. Dr P said I could sleep braless now, but I feel more comfortable wearing a light sports bra or bralette. I just started sleeping on my side too with no pain or weird feeling.

Incisions are slowly healing but looking great so far, my left side is my more troublesome side and still has a dimple. I also have a stitch that is trying to poke it's way out but it hasn't broken through the skin, so it can't get trimmed. It bothers me under my bra sometimes when the underwire rubs against it. I can't wait for this stitch to dissolve and flatten, but it could take months :( you can see what I'm talking about in my photo

Overall I'm very happy with my results, size, and shape. My only concern is that I still have a bit of skin tenting in my cleavage, but Dr P said it's because my skin is so tight and could take up to a year for it to relax around and to see my final results. I have to remind myself to be patient but it's so hard when you stare at it multiple times a day every day! At least it's a long time until bikini season so it should hopefully settle by the summer *fingers crossed*

Dr Pugash is very professional, knowledgeable and good at what he does. I had minimal pain during recovery and I'm sure it is due to his surgical skills. The staff, nurses, and anesthesiologist was very pleasant during the whole experience and made me feel comfortable. Simone has been wonderful every time I had to call in or email. I had a few questions pre and post op and response times were always fairly quick. I am only 3 weeks post op right now but so far I am happy with the results.
