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.

How are you liking them despite the pain? Can you tell you have implants..like in your body? You look great so far! My surgery is tomorrow..

Hi there. I looked at your profile and am glad you are doing this for yourself. Everyone is different and so is your healing. I did not go very large and I think that was to my benefit. I did not have any heavyness feeling and they felt like a normal part of me pretty quickly. Sometimes I wish I did not do this but I attribute this feeling to the recovery. I am thinking that once my left breast resolves itself I might feel differently. I think I look the same in clothes which is what I was aiming for. I know that the summer will be most apparent since the clothing we all wear is more revealing. The funny part is that when I am in spin class I actually feel the sweat running down between my breasts. Before it was immediately being absorbed my bra because the bra was practically against my pancake breasts!

I'm so glad you're getting this taken care of! And healing. My left breast is my troubled breast too. Keep us posted on the healing. They look much better.

Glad your doing better. Those darn sutures are a pain to some people. I think you look great! Do you feel they have both dropped?
January 19, 2017
Thank you so much. No they have not completely dropped yet. I just want my skin color to return to normal color and feel better.

Yeah my nipples have dry blotchy red patches and not sure why. I've been putting Eucerin lotion on to help, that stuff is amazing.

Brutal. Glad the meds are working and at last you will be able to begin to enjoy the girls.
