    So I’m 1WPO now and finally had my strapping off today. I didn’t really have any problems with my strapping other than it being uncomfortable. But today when I was getting ready I noticed under my left armpit was really sore. I put this down to strapping just rubbing and my macom also coming up under my armpit.
    Anywho. Had my strapping off (did have to take some deep breaths as my right nipple is crazily sensitive, but my left is numb ha) everything looks good, nurse happy with my incisions, bruising isn’t that bad, except to the sides of my boobs where my drains where. And I have some marks there too.
    On my left side where it was hurting, once the strapping was off and air was at it, my god it was stinging (it’s like it’s rubbed and rubbed and the first layer of skin has come off).
    I was pretty red raw after having the strapping removed, but it’s so sticky and I must just have sensitive skin as well.

    I saw my boobs today for the first time, and I’m actually pleased with how they look so far. My nipples aren’t to ‘outwards’ which is what I was worried about, and tbh I just felt a bit emotional but I am pleased!
    I got home and had a shower, I would say it was amazing, but because my skin was so sore from the strapping, I was crying in pain instead. It felt like washing sunburn. But now I feel much better for it. I used sanex 0% body wash as suggested by my nurse.
    I’ve since developed a bit of a spotty rash, but my nurse said if this happens it’s very normal, you’ve been under strapping for a week, and it will settle.

    Overall, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster and it’s only been a week, but I am happy, despite the tears today.
