Bilateral Mastectomy Scars Healing Timeline

Hello, I am 2 weeks out today from my Bilateral Mastectomy. I am glad that I made the decision that I did and grateful for clear margins/no node involvement. I was prepared for losing both breasts and knew I would look different. My first thought was that this does not look as bad as I thought it would. I was sort of upbeat about it. I am now not so sure. How long does it take for scars to soften and smooth out? I do have the dog ears under my arm and it is hard to tell what is swelling and what is going to be my new normal. I look awful and I still have my drains.

I go for my post op appointment tomorrow and I am really hopeful that the drains are going away. They are not draining much at all and are so uncomfortable. Wish me luck with that part and please share what your scar healing has been like.
