2 months plus and so very very happy
I haven't been on here in a while. I have been enjoying my new boobs in the sunshine. I will keep this short and sweet. I am at 2 months and 1 week post op now. Other than fact my PS wants me to continue taping the scars for another few weeks for scar maintenance I don't even know I have had this done. Well, other than I love the way clothes fit now. I am very happy with the results. I know the scars will get lighter, so not worried there. To all of you who are waiting for your date. I know it's scary, and I'm sure these words won't take that away, however, I am so happy I did this. The recovery was no where near as difficult as I thought it would be. A little tip. I bought new bras at 5 weeks PO and have gotten a little smaller. Must have been swelling. Be patient. I think I might have to go bra shopping again :)
Dissolveable stitches that didn't want to disolve
So I contacted my PS about the spot that appeared to be infected and she told me not to tape it, clean it with peroxide and put polysporin on it. Which I did and it ended up clearing up. The scab is almost gone. However, about a week later I noticed a little clear brownish type fluid oozing out of a tiny pin sized hole under my breast. So this worried me as I am leaving for a trip to Mexico in less that two weeks. She had me come in yesterday and the problem was a few of the dissolvable stitches didn't want to dissolve and were trying to work their way out. So she took them out, covered them with a clear bandage and told me to leave it until it falls off. She says all should be fine now and I shouldn't have any trouble on my vacation. I hope so! I'm still feeling so good about all of this and I'm going to try on new bathing suits today! Yayyy! I can't remember the last time I actually looked forward to this. lol
3 weeks and no tape - First Look at my incisions
I changed the tape today and saw the incisions for the first time. I actually don't think they look too bad. Although it seems my skin maybe reacting to the tape a little. There is a lot of redness and blemishly type marks. I did notice a small spot under my left breast that appears to be a little infected which concerns me a little. I have a message into my PS. Hopefully it's nothing to be concerned about. I'm getting more comfortable with them each day.

I really felt at ease with Dr. Van Laeken. She made me feel very comfortable.
