So, this is the set ‘under construction’ at 7 weeks out from the big operation.
The infills done, the tissue expanders are well and truly settling into place.
Clearly shape and position isn’t priority – stretching my muscle and skin in preparation for the permanent implants is.
I still feel very tight across the top (if you drew a line from armpit-to-armpit), and quite tender underneath where the pectoral muscle has been cut. The scarring and area surrounding is numb.

Dr D has promised to move them in closer. (cool – they’re kinda heading East & West at the moment!)
Having lived in jarmies and baggy tops since this began, dressing myself for work is now an issue. Most of my tops/dresses don’t accommodate the new shape. I would be happy with a big brown paper bag. (Okay – maybe with a little embellishment or set of killer heels!)
