2nd Post Op
Had my second post op today. Healing nicely although this right side still has more swelling and pain in the right breast. She attempted to aspirate on that side with a needle to check for a hematoma, but there was no free blood in there. The parts of my insicions that separated are also healing well. I am considering starting an ABD ointment. I have started to use bio oil around the areolas. And I am impressed with the healing already. My fiancé wants me to report that he his VERY happy with the results. (Eye roll) lol More importantly, I am happy and adjusting. My swelling fluctuates drastically from day to day. I know why people say not to buy bras early on. Luckily I have donated bras. Some days I have a little room in my cups making me think I just might end up a 38D. This would be fine by me! I'm just so grateful for the relief that I am not bothered by 1 cup size smaller. I will update again on the 11th!
When Toddlers Attack!
So...it's been 2 weeks since my reduction and the hardest thing is holding a squirming 16 month old. She kicked punched and jumped onto my right breats. After I contemplated giving her up for adoption I took sone pain medication, grabbed a bag of ice and got some rest. Lots of pain and I feel like I may have messed with some internal sutures. Its tough to say but I still need a lot of help and I can't take care of my daughter on my own. My fiancé is just going to have to take her when he runs errands. My PS says incisions will be fully healed at 4 weeks so I have to take it easy so I dont mess up my awesome results! -sigh-
12 days Post Op, hard to stay still
I'm 12 days out, and feeling a bit caged in. Low pain level is deceptive. I feel good so I reach for something or catch my 16 month old to keep her from hitting the floor and later there is pain and drainage. Aside from that I believe I'm healing pretty quickly. Especially my new areolas lol. Still slight distortion due to swelling. Ice, massage, rest, repeat has replaced my 40+ hours as a nurse in a Psych hospital so needless to say I'm a bit bored. I just realized my surgeon is a genius because I'll be healed right after tax time. I'm ready for bra-maggedon! ? My next post op appointment is on my bday 2/4. I'm scheduled to see a neurosurgeon on 2/11 so things are moving right along. My shoulders and neck feel amazing but unfortunately as expected my low back pain and sciatica remains unchanged. Riding in a car is much more tolerable unless there are nasty bumps. After I cover my incisions in gauze I put on one of the bras my coworkers gave me and feel like a goddess for about an hour, then it's back to reality in the compression bra!
Provider Review
Dr. Karen Buckley
Dr. Buckley is very professional. She has put my mind at ease during the consultation and has been performing breast reductions since before I was born! She has done a phenomenal job and I could not be happier!
