I am healing quite well. I still have some numbness in my lower back, but that's lessening. My boobs are looking fantastic, and I can't begin to describe how amazing it is, being able to BREATHE properly. To take a deep breath, and not feel as if I have a tire on my chest. A good portion of my scars were very hard and standing out at my last appointment. My Dr didn't like that, didn't like the way they looked or felt. He injected them with some type of steroid used for that purpose, and even though it's only been a week, I can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference. Scars are softer, smoother (some are almost flat, even), and when I raise my arms, I don't feel them pull like I was before. I'd assumed that the scars were going to be something I'd have to make peace with, as they were. Sure, I know about scar reduction treatments, etc, but I'd just assumed that those treatments were something I'd have to pursue on my own, and wouldn't be able to afford. A friend of mine has more experience in the world of plastic surgery than I do, and was impressed my Dr took the initiative to treat the scars. There is definitely something to be said for a surgeon who takes pride in his work.
I have pictures to share, but they're on my tablet and I'm not, so that'll have to wait for another day. I know I haven't updated much, and I'm sure at some point, I'll stop completely. As always, if you have any questions (or anything to add!) please feel free!
