First week check up


Today was my one week check up and it went really well!  The PS said that I'm healing up nicely and that everything looks perfectly normal.  I have a small blister on the left side of my breast and a small bruise at the bottom but he said nothing to worry about, that it's common to see that sort of thing.  I still have the dissolvable stitches in with the tape over the top of them.  He said to leave it on for about two to three weeks until they are completely gone and the tape starts peeling off on it's own.  The only thing that is funny about the tape is that it points my nipples toward the floor which looks really funny but he said the it's the pulling of the tape and as soon as we take it off they will go back to normal.

The shininess that you see is very normal and is due to the stretching of the skin and will go away after a few weeks.  If your skin is red in color and has the sensation of a sunburn, that is normal as well and will subside.

 This is a 5 day post picture.  Breasts are still very high, to the sides and still very swollen from the trauma of the surgery.  The PS said it would take 6 to 8 weeks for them to drop and possible a year to fully settle.

  3. Hi there, any update on this? How does it feel now? I think it's important that you share your story about breast augmentation because I know it's a topic a lot of women are sort of afraid to talk about. So thanks for sharing and hope that you reply soon.
