I've been cleaning regularly, including irrigating with a saline wash. Also been using peroxide applied with a cotton applicator/qtip, washing again, applying Neosporin on the suture sites, then appling clean gauze/aquacel. Over that I've been wearing maternity underwear and pads to keep a mild pressure on the area and to soak up any additional leaks.

I'm not certain about dial soap; I've been using Dove sensitive skin, fragrance free soap.
As for silicone strips for scars, I have silicone scar jel to use but haven't incorporated it into my care routine yet

5 days? It seams to me that the hospitals in the US are keeping srs patients less than EU ones. I was for 8 days

I didn't know that. I'm curious as to why? I was doing fairly well in the hospital after the first 48 hours. My primary problems were with the wound vacuum dressing chafing my legs and urinating after the cath was removed on the 4th day

I didn't give her any aesthetics to work off. I just knew her previous work looked fantastic and figured she would do the same for me.
Best of luck with your own procedure in February, I'll be thinking of you

Amazing! She’s my top choice but my consult is soooo far out. But even a few extra years is probably worth it if I’m happy with the result for the rest of my life

I would agree that Dr. Bluebond-Langner, Dr. Zhao, and the care team at NYU are 100% worth the wait

May I ask how long the wait time for your consultation was? Like when did you ask for a consultation, and what's the date you got? I've heard a few years ago it was like 2 years but I assume it's gone up by now and was wondering how long it is.

I don’t know if this still works but I sped up my consultation quite a bit by getting my 3 letters done early. Once I had provided those they gave me a much closer consultation date.

May reconsider using peroxide. Think it encourages scar tissue. Seek advice.

This looks great, especially for it only having been a week!

If you don’t mind me asking, what method did you get?

Thank you! The method was penile inversion, if I'm not mistaken

Are you icing? Ten minutes per hour, small bags of frozen peas.

I've been icing as needed. I purchased ice packs designed to clip onto a pair of underwear. I highly recommend it
