Ohh how things change..

Okay, so it’s been a month since the last surgery.

This is what I see when I look in the mirror. I’m sure I’ll get happy over time, but at the moment I’m still very easily upset.

This shot was taken just after I’d taken the old tape off and showered. Clearly my skin is a bit irritated by the tape still. The scars are looking good, just the one stitch remaining.

I hadn’t really paid that much attention to how the previous scars had moved with the different position of these new implants – just as I was starting to get familiar with them!

 

In spite of our hopeful excitement a few weeks ago – that ridge at the top of my left one is unfortunately, once again very obvious. The ripples in that implant are also visible (and therefore this side appears quite different to the other) and the skin between my underarm area and mastectomy scar is sort of puckered.

 

The right one seems to have gravitated South ever so slightly.

 

Yes – I am critical and I am analysing – but won’t apologise for it, this is what I’ve got now. I’m just choosing to document and share my ‘getting to know my new body’ experience.
