How the Time Flies...

Well, it has been three months since my surgery and I can hardly believe it. This week I have spent some time reflecting on all of the events that have occurred since then... Holy moly, a lot sure does happen in a tiny bit of time. I feel great! I had my final doctor's visit this week, until further notice. It went expectedly well. Dr. Galante was very pleased with my outcome. He said my breasts look completely natural and perfect. This was no exaggeration either, the girls are even beginning to feel natural as well. Earlier today I took a peek at my before photos... Boy was that frightening, it is so crazy that I cannot even imagine myself without them now. That was, until I saw the evidence! Yikes.

There is one thing that I would like to mention and that is the fact that my scars have now become more visible. Several weeks back I know I sort of went off on some tangent about how fabulous they had turned out... Do not get me wrong, a scar is a scar and it was to be expected. I think I spoke a tad too soon, though. Now that my breasts have begun to settle, if you will, the scars are no longer located exactly in the crease under each breast. I suppose this is due to the decrease in swelling? The other noticeable difference is that the scars have become more prominent, meaning they are darker and raised from the skin.

Dr. Galante recommended I use cream or some sort of tape to decrease the visibility. Since our last meeting I have been applying Mederma on each of them. The directions state that one should apply the treatment 3-4 times daily for eight weeks. I'll keep ya posted on the outcome. Oh, how time flies. =)
