Breast Reduction Surgery Day 42

I haven't had any problems or discomfort these last few weeks. I wear a sport bra on a daily basis until my breast are done swelling. The doctor said it would take a few months.

I put lotion on my breast daily. They still tend to be dry. It's as if they are soaking the lotion up asap. The lotion helps the scars heal better. Right now they are soft scars, they are not looking like keloids or anything like that. They are getting brighter as time progresses. Eventually they will not be there at all. 

I'm glad that my healing process has been going so well. I need to take more pictures of me in shirts and post them!

This picture is from Valentine's Day. You can actually see my belt! Before surgery my breast would hang out and cover that area up completely.

Breast Reduction Surgery Day 29

I wore a sports bra today. I still have that sticky stuff from the tape around my nipples. I had no issues at all today with my sports bra. Since it was my first time without the compression bra I decided to wear a shirt under the bra just to be safe. I want to make sure all my stitches and stuff have as much time as they need to completely heal.

I tried to use the liquid stuff that the doctor gave me for my nipples. Its suppose to help take the adhesive residue off of my nipples. It took a while for me to get the thing opened. After I got it out of the package it was in a glass tube.

The tube broke in my hand and cut my finger. It's a small cut. All the liquid dripped out. I don't know if it was oily or sticky. I went straight to the sink to wash it off. I had two packages. At this point I don't even want to try the other package. I will just keep using soap and water every day and moisturizing my skin with lotion twice a day and hopefully the adhesive will come off completely within a few days.

Breast Reduction Surgery Day 28

February 7, 2013 Thursday

Today I had my one month follow up appointment with my plastic surgeon. He said that I'm healing very good and everything looks well. He took the tape off of around my nipples. It hurt when he peeled it off. It took of some skin with it. He assured me that it's normal and that it's just a thin top layer of skin that will heal fast. It felt as if you were peeling a band aide off. Not too bad. My nipples did feel sore for the rest of the day.

They gave me some type of liquid stuff to put on my nipples so that it can loosen that sticky stuff from the tape. I will try it tomorrow and see if it works.

I posted a video of my one month follow up visit with the doctor. Click on my link for my youtube channel below.
