6 and a half weeks

Well it has been a little over 6 weeks since my surgery and I can't believe I waited so long to get it done. My mom came up on Saturday and saw my new breasts for the first time. She couldn't believe how wonderful they looked. And she would be the first one to say "what is wrong with you, why did you do that?"

I almost feel normal again. I still have a little pain when I stretch my arm out but it is getting better. I am finally able to work out again which is very exciting. My breasts get a little numb and tickle because of the bouncing they do during cardio but other than that they feel fine.

The scarring underneath my armpit is slowly fading. It really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have been wearing tank tops since the first weekend I went out and no one has noticed the scars. Probably because I was unable to lift my arms too high. I think the worst part about getting the incisions in my armpit was that I wasn't really able to shave. I tried to go around the scars but it was still kinda hard. I was finally able to shave completely without worrying last Friday. I didn't really think about that when the doctor said he wanted to go through the armpit. I was actually a little hesitant at first. But I am so glad that he did it that way. I have a feeling the scars will be gone completely. And I can tan without worrying about exposing the scars to the light. Dr. Del Vecchio really knew what he was talking about. I would recommend going through the armpit to anyone getting this surgery. Why would you want scarring on your breasts?
