So glad your surgery went well Sally @gingerninja and great that you came out of the anaesthetic feeling well. There is so much anxiety and stress leading up to surgery, the unknown can be terrifying. I really hope your nipples do well Sally. That was my big worry when I had my nipple sparing mastectomy and immediate silicone implant. Once the dressing came off I was constantly watching! A little scab formed on top but once that fell off my nipple was nice and pink underneath. Such a relief.... Many of us now have perky new boobs and they will soften and settle over time. I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow. The surgeon will probably change the dressings so you'll be able to see what's been done. I was advised to keep my mastectomy scar taped for at least 6 weeks so changed the dressing at home every couple of days. We will be thinking of you on Wednesday and wishing you all the best with your pathology results. Jane xx
