Ok - you need to be my friend to see them.  Password is dr nanda.

I had a lift only yesterday.  I also had a scar revision but haven't posted after pics of that - as they are all covered in bandages.  I'll update in a few days.  I have some befores of my keloid brachio scars though for those who are interested in what a bad scar can look like.

My new boobies look GIANT to me.  I know they are swollen...curious how much they will go down (and come closer together).  Any advice?

I dont think they look giant from this pic - but I think they look AWESOME!!

Mine seem farther apart than normal as well, but I am assuning that once they soften up (they are hard andswollen right now) they will 'fall' more naturally and look closer together. I'm hoping that is what happens LOL

Congrats again though! I think they are looking great for one day out!

Not giant in a bad way - just much bigger than I thought.  One surgeon (not the one I used) told me that if I didn't do implants, I'd have chest skin with nipples like a man.  So I had low expectations for size!

Mine are pretty hard and swollen too.  I tried a bra on to judge cup size - and it was really obvious how far they are apart - I'd have to shove them together to make them fit! lol

Wow, Erica, I can't believe that other surgeon said that.  How crude!  Can I be your friend, too? 
Keep us posted on how the coming together thing works out.  Maybe it happens as they relax a little???

 I thought we were friends but I guess not and when I click on your name it won't give me the page to send you a friend request...not sure what I am doing wrong.  Anyway, once again I am following you.  Have my lift in 60 days.

Weird.  Friends now!  Good luck with yours!

This recovery was super easy for me.  24 hours out and I feel fantastic.  Very little need for pain management and very little restriction of movement etc.

So weird.  Might be because I listed the album as having adult content.  Check your own filters - if you've filtered against adult content you won't be able to get into my profile.

I have sent you a friend request - so if you fix that, you should be able to see them!

My belly incisions look almost exactly like yours - except I'm almost healed from necrotic open wound at intersection of horizontal and vertical incisions.  My "circle" around BB is red like yours - I'm just 9 weeks post op.

I've been wearing silicone strips 24/7 (except for shower) on brachio incisions and they are looking OK.  Arm pit incisions are still "tight" and hurt a little when I stretch.  I had a 5# weight limit for the first month, then up to 8# for month two.  Now I'm to "ease" my way back to a normal schedule with weight and exercise.  I'm going really, really slow.  My belly "aches" but I'm sure the open wound has something to do with that.  You can click on my name or avitar pic to see progression of my necrotic open wound.  I will do before and after pics when wound closes.

As soon as open wound on belly closes (hopefully withing the week - so close).  I will wear silicone strips on belly incisions and open wound big scar.

How did you keep silicone strips on your belly??  I'm thinking of putting compression garment back on to hold them on during the day.
Thanks for  your input.  You are the first person that has incisions that look like mine from fleur de lis.  Sorry about the scars on your arms.
