Hi gals,

--- I am glad you finally looked good for you! My skin reacted to all the adhesive tape they used on me including the little steri strips, can you imagine. I am not like that anymore but yeah I was very sensitive to it so we had to take it all off at my drain removal appt. So I got to see mine right away and went and got mederma right away. They sell it over the counter behind the counter ya know, at the pharmacy, some of them had to special order it for me back then, but now it is pretty popular. I think you will find it. It is a scar fading gel and I liked it and used it faithfully everyday, everytime i was in the bathroom i slathered on more and more till it ruined all my crappy bras, ha ha it was worth it though to fade those scars and I think it helped but I don't know for sure ya know I just know my scars look almost

invisible.as for the bra issue, I could not do much for at least 6 weeks, and for about 3 months I was sore too sore to wear and underwire for sure, i hated it but dealt with it anyhow ya know. I wore no underwire and just had to deal with being very small on top, now I like to look a bit bigger and cheat with enhancers, I don't care, my husband knows the truth and it is not like I am leading on a guy or anything ya know what I mean?Anyhow the bra thing will def improve as will the shape and look of your breasts. For me I wore a nice sports bra to sleep in or tightish tank top with shelf bra and then during the day a soft soft bra to work and just let most people wonder what happened to my big boobs. No one ever asked so that was good.let me know if you need anything anytime ok? I am glad you went to dr Feng I think you will be very pleased as healing progresses.hugsn
