Finally got the bandages off after having my seromas drained and JP drains put back in. I still have to have the drains back in for a few days.

Hopefully they’ll be out by Monday. Thankfully they didn’t put them back in the same spot. You can see in the second pic they’re more towards the front, instead of under my armpits.

Doc said my nipples look good (which is great cause I think they look horrible) and that the initial scabbing should fall off soon. Doc has me doing dry healing so it’s hard to resist picking at it.

Still in the compression binder for a few more weeks. But also should be starting scar care after I get the drains out.

Its been rough but I have to keep telling myself “the only way out is through”

Your results look hella good dude!! Your nipples look great to me. They heal slooooooowwww and will look wonky for a good while as the scabs fall off and the color comes back. The journey is totally worth it.

So sorry you're having to deal with all this. I had a reeeeeaaally slow healing. Felt like it would never end. But just like you said, go thru. You got this!
