57 Yr Old 5'9' 145 Lbs 1 Child Breast Lift and Implants

I have not written in a while because there has not been much to report. I am still healing and have been dealing with the stitches not disolving. I am feeling better but am not 100% yet. My left breast looks awful and although I have been given the option to repair the scaring I honestly do not want to be touched anymore. I have another appointment in a few weeks so I will know more about potential options. It does not show through my clothes and it is on the bottom of my nipple.
I wish I had been more educated about the entire process and what additional side effects we all need to be aware of. I don't understand how certain stitch material can be used that does not dissolve. I know everyone is different but it has been an unexpected journey. I am not sure if I would have done this had I known how I would be feeling.

I have been progressing nicely after multiple doses of antibiotics. It seems I am having a reaction to the internal stitches that is relentless. I stopped using creams and occasionally use Neosporin Scar Itch etc cream. I need my left breast to dry up. I have cut some of the stitches that are popping out. Just like fishing line! I am not happy with what it looks like but need to be patient. The aches and soreness is subsiding and the Mondors Cord comes and goes. My left nipple is still numb which I am attributing to the whole left breast debacle.

I know what everyone means about breast greed. I keep reminding myself that I look so much better than prior to the surgery. I am back to exercising and enjoying my spin classes.

My left breast has been inflamed, painful and relentless. I was away last week and contacted my Doctors office. I had to because I was scared and in pain. My breast looked like it was in a boxing match and lost. I have been treated for this since prior to Christmas. I was prescribed 10 days of antibiotics. Today is day 5. They really seem to be helping. I had an in-person visit this week. They think it is the stitches that are causing such havoc. As you can see there is improvement. I also posted my right breast which is coming along nicely. I can't wait for the left to catch up with the right.
