Post mastectomy scars

Hi, 

I squinted pretty soon, virtually straight away, my scars were glued so no real shock. 
please don’t make a big thing of it, just have a quick glance, and remember the appearance will improve lots as the scars fade. Then get friendly with your new body bit by bit, but remember you are still you!

Hi,

I looked as soon as the dressing came off with my husband. I didn’t want it to become a “thing” . There’s no way of making it easy or pretending it’s ok. It’s not. But all we can do is work on acceptance and thinking that it has saved our lives. Best wishes x x x 

Hi

I checked mine more less as soon as I was awake ..just a quick peek . Once you take that first look it's no longer a thing .

Whilst in hospital two of us shared which made us feel "normal" as both of us had similar scars .

Hubby checked it out when I came home . Now 7 months down the line there is a vast difference It how it looks . 

Take care

I looked at mine as soon as the dressings came off and to be honest even now (beginning of November I had it done) I try not to look I still get upset maybe once I’ve had the other breast done (it hangs 3 to 4inches below my reconstruction) then maybe I won’t find it as upsetting 

what a sensible thing to do...

Thanks Mariella, good to hear from you again. Glad we’re both got over the surgery. Did not enjoy the wait! Bestwishesx

Thanks Margaret! All the best with your treatment.

Thanks Julus! I will probably need a bit more work done to my other breast at some point but not worrying about it right now. Hope all goes well for you.

Done! Pleased with myself and pleasantly surprised. Expected worse.
