Over the next few weeks the scars heal
fairly rapidly and the shape further improves. There is some irritation where
the knots of the stitches have eased their way under the skin and I also extract
an unexpected length of string left behind from where the drain was attached.
Once these are removed, the wounds heal more quickly and any irritation
subsides. I massage Bio-oil in twice daily on the scars and also around the
edges of the implants to encourage them to soften and move into position. They
are slightly different sizes – the breast without a nipple is smaller and
firmer than the left hand side, which seems to have some fluid build-up. My new
profile is decidedly perky and the shape of my breasts is far better than they have
ever been (ignoring the lack of right nipple) when I look front-on in the
mirror, but they adopt strange rippled shapes when I flex my muscles, bend over
or lie on my side. It’s slightly unnerving and I feel self-conscious, despite reassurances
from my husband. I’m hoping this might improve over time and I redouble my Bio-oil
applications.
