It is hard to believe that I am starting week 7. I saw Dr. Habash this morning and he said everything looked good and my wound is healing. Slower than he would like but still progressing. He is a perfectionist and is already talking about stage 2 and how he is going to make my new girls even better. I like them now and I am sure I will like them even more when he is finished.
I have a FUPA (fat under pubic area), I know I laughed when he said that is what it is. He will use that fat to contour my breasts during Stage 2 reconstruction. I had to look it up when I got home. That is exactly what it is called. So funny. I really like Dr. Habash. Very good at his profession and I am pleased that he wants my new girls to be perfect. He is going to do the areola tattooing in Jan and Stage 2 about 3 months after that. Letting my wound completely heal and be stable for another procedure.
I did a little more research on wound care and at lot of Dr’s recommend Aloe on wounds so I mixed Aloe with my other cream and we will see if it helps it.
10pm. My wound already looks better since this morning. I do not know if it is the Aloe or the removed stitch. Maybe both.
I am posting the wound pictures so people can see that they do heal and to please have patience with the healing process. Most people do not get wounds like this. I just happen to be one of the “Lucky” ones. Have a good night.
Pictures from the morning and evening are below. Hopefully one day soon the pictures will not be so graphic.
