I also asked him about how my scars are healing. He showed me, by pressing on my scars, what color they would eventually turn and that made me feel much better! He also gave me some silicone patches to put on top of my scars at night and I can reuse them. They will cost about $46 but he gave me some to get started with it and said to see how I feel about them after 3 weeks. He also told me to start massaging my new incisions to help my body produce the enzymes to break down the dissolving stitches that are inside. I am to massage them with great pressure for a few minutes, twice a day. He also said to go ahead and start massaging my implants but only in an upward and inward motion to keep the muscles loose.
I signed up for a 30 day membership to a barre method class until I can go back to yoga. I went for the first time yesterday and while I hardly broke a sweat, it was definitely a good workout. I am not allowed to do push ups or planks unless I am just doing a holding plank that is concentrating on my abs. He showed me how to contract my pecs and said NOT to do anything like that, LOL!
Overall, I am feeling more confident and was happy with how my appointment went today. I was able to share my concerns and get some good feedback. What a waste of time all that worrying did! I do not like the rippling I see in the mirror but I do notice my implants starting to settle in a bit more. Head over to the photo gallery to see some 3 week post exchange photos from today!
