Oh I hope things end up great - Sounds eeky to have stitch problems... Hope your belly button is OK when you go back for your checkup. All will be well in the end - Its just a 'messy' journey sometimes

I had a breat reduction on 22nd April - I had no pain at all - I am VERY happy with the results - At the same time I had a Brachioplasty - No pain at all - The worst bit of the whole thing was the 2minutes to remove the drains that was a bit ouchy... I am so very very happy I did this! I was a G cup and now I am a B-C cup

He told me something along the lines of this... After the wound is closed and generally in 2-3 weeks time, it is good to start massaging the scar. Use a good, bland moisturizing cream like Doublebase/Diprobase/E45 and work the cream in using small circular movements of the fingertips. Use firm pressure so that the scar blanches. This should be done for about 15 minutes twice a day. I have never heard of scar guard - am off to search it now :-)

Sounds like you are doing great! Did your PS tell you to masage the scars? Mine told me when I see him next Monday (2weeks 4 days post op) I hafta start massaging my scars so they dont heal lumpy or something... I think it is fantastic that you are doing so well :-)

Thats great SpecialK I havent had my biopsy result back yet.

I had a Breast Reduction and Brachioplasty on 22nd April. To be honest - Although I had NO pain from it (which surprised me) Had I had my legs done also - To be able to lift yourself up might make things complicated - I stupidly lifted a small bag of potatoes and felt a pulling sensation and had to go back to the Hosp to get checked out - And it was only a small bag! I would say to stick to one end of the body at a time - As eventhough it might save time under the knife - It might end up making you have to re-do some things if anything should happen and it is really easy to over-do things... My Dr also says that to do more than a couple of things would be overdoing it) I wanted a Tummy Tuck - Thighs and Bum done - and he told me that would be too much (he is probably very right) Good luck to those about to have something done :-)

You are looking FANTASTIC!

Fantastic pics SpecialK Did they tell you not to drive and for how long?

I would never ever have flashed my old Boobs Niki! LOL How is the rest of you now? Thighs? What exactly did they do to the thighs (like a T?)

I am still in a compression garment thingy and hafta wear it for 6 weks. So After that I will be out there buying new bras -- Looking at my old G cup bras they seem massive now LOL. Went to my Mothers this mornign - Flashed her the new Boobies - She said they are *Art* LOLOL :-)

If you pay in the UK...... You can get anything...

I haven't taken any pics as yet - Probably Thursday when I can get someone here to take the pics LOL I am amazed at no pain - I SAW them yesterday for the first time _ OMG - They are great - The 1.8kg was arms and boobs) I am happier than I have been for so long - They are still a bit swollen (so maybe at a D for now) Kinda hoping they stay as they are cos they are kinda WHOOP WHOOP lolol Next is the belly...... Whih should be in August.... Then on down from there till I am a 'normal' person again. And I hafta to be honest - They say you will have scars - Yes - But I felt sooo much more disfigured by the skin than any scars I might be left with... Just sooooo happy at the moment (MY Mum wants a breast reduction now too LOLOL)

I am home and it is now 3 days after my Boob readuction (I am now a 34C) and Brachioplasty. I go back tomorrow to see the wounds person at hosp. I hafta say - I have had NO pain! The worst bit was when they removed the drain from the right hand boob - that was ouchy - But other than weird feelings like vibrations in my boobs - Everything is fine - I have some swelling in the forearm of my right arm. Everything else is fine.... I have the compression grment on - Havent peeked at arms - all covered up. Boobs look pretty good! I went down from a 34G to a 34C and he said he took off 1.8k of stuff (I dont know if that was boobs and arms or just boobs) I am amazed - I really was expecting agony... :-) I have little boobies! I am so happy!!!

My surgery is on 22nd - So I kinda hafta make my mind up and fast LOL (I asked him what size he thought would suit me and he said a C or a D - but I didnt tell him I do not wanna have hugemungous bazoongas anymore - been there done that))

Now I think I am at least a 34E or F (They need an uplift as well lol) I was before Ilost weight a G cup. I think a full B or small C I would be happy with..... I don't want them to go all saggy again.... so don't want them too heavy etc.

Fantastic that you are doing so well ! Well done YOU!

I would love to be able to see your pic and its so great you are doing so well

That's fabulous - I am still worrying with 7 days to surgery - is a C large or small - I have had boobs too big for so long I wanna be able to go braless and whatever, so am busy worrying if I should ask for a B or the C we were discussing when i last saw him. LOL So glad you are doing so well

Can you explain to an english person what and where a mud flap is and what it looks like lol

Mimi - Were you able to put a top on putting your arms above your head after the arm/boob surgery - Or how long did you hafta wear clothes that did not go on over your head (Ie button up stuff)

Ooh I hope I dont have mud flaps

I definitely don't wanna be a D so might just ask for a small C CCBCindy - I have seen photos of his work and my only words were ''I'll have a pair of them!'' lol My surgeon is very highly accredited and is one of the top bods in our NHS plastics hospital. (And i'll get it fixed if it's not as good as I wish - Cos it's all paid for and I can't even think about it coming out badly at this millisecond - Too busy worrying about other things LOL) I saw a couple of Doctors and I really felt like I culd talk to this one and that he heard me - so - Time will tell............

My Surgeon said I hafta wear the compression bra -sleeve garment for 6 weeks...... So hopefully after that - All will be ok again......?

How long did you hafta be careful with the arms Mimi... I will be careful as am having arms and boobs done at same time - But it would be nice to know how long to be extra careful for. Thanks

SpecialK what size are you going down to? My doctor said a C or D would be ok for me but I am so sick of having big boobs I was wondering if a B would be better... And i am feeling a bit nervous now as it will all happen on 22nd April - eeps!
