Ten weeks :)
Everything has been pretty smooth sailing since I last updated. I've paid the bills, and haven't had any problems. The swelling has gone down significantly, and the shape is beginning to even out. Both still have very pink scars, are kind of lumpy to the touch, and I think lefty will probably always have a bit of an indent on the medial underside. Righty's areola is a little puffy and weird, but I have faith it will return to a more normal look with time. I've experienced some minor pain on a few occasions, but nothing severe enough to even require an aspirin.
All in all, I'm becoming very happy with their shape and am so thankful to be at this stage after how I was feeling a few weeks post-op. The difference is amazing.
Happy healing everybody, and happy new year!

One month out!
A lot of healing has happened in the last couple weeks. A hematoma drained, followed by a seroma, and now I am on a good healing path. My breasts are still swollen into some semi-strange shapes and densities, and Righty's t-junction hasn't quite closed up, but I feel like these are totally normal events, and all there is to do is give myself time. They look great under my clothes, and I am anxiously awaiting the day I feel as confident with them without a couple layers.
Because my breasts are still big, partially due to swelling, and partially due to keeping a natural looking appearance, I have been a bit down, feeling like maybe the surgery was visually ineffective although three pounds of tissue was removed. I decided to try on my old favorite bra to test my theory. I wore this bra the day of surgery, and again yesterday. Seeing the difference made me so happy I nearly cried. This feeling alone is worth almost all of the trials this has put me through.

Slowly but surely...
To nobody's surprise, the terrible bruising on Righty turned out to be a hematoma, which drained over the course of a few days earlier this week. Since then, the bruising has gone down dramatically and I'm left with just dealing with a couple of small openings at the incision sites. Both breasts are still a bit swollen, but Lefty is doing fabulously. Righty doesn't have as much sensation as the left. but that seems to be congruent with the rest of the healing so far. Just hoping these holes close up nicely, and everything continues to come together. I resume work on Monday. Eep.
