I think the poll is very subjective in the sense that fully healed can mean fully physically functional, or it could mean fully stabilized tissue evolution.

Dude... fully healed in every aspect!

can we define 'fully'?
:)

as of now it's in the eye of the beholder. My cuts were fully healed by 5 weeks. It's now 6 months post op and the scars are still getting softer (still healing).
the fat that was put back in the depression where the glands used to be is still a tiny bit lumpy.

I still don't have 100% feeling back in my nipples..

so fully could be 2 years

That's the point of this poll dude....  To find out 'when' you felt that you were fully healed.

" Can we define 'fully'  "...  'fully healed' in my mind is when you feel 100% (in regard to the surgery) and all the tell-tale signs of surgery (swelling, bruising, scar tissue, incision scars, depression etc...) are gone.

Sure, fully healed could be 2 years. Everyone heals at different rates....  There are many factors that affect/prolong the healing process.
