I'm in great health. But I am a big baby with pain. I'm on day two ånd my husband Rocks!

The pain is something I have never experienced, even for me childbirth. I have been wearing bras since I was nine. Dr says looks like I am a full C.

Remember, we haven't took the bandages off. I feel lighter already. I'm trying so hard not to move around so as to not pull on stitches. Any suggestions.

I will post pictures soon.

Had drains and bandages removed last week! So excited to see what girls look like. I cried. I really thought I was going to be smaller. I know swelling has not went down completely, but they look Goooood. Wow.
Day 12 and I have soreness under the breast(where incisions are) The incision line looks pretty gross. It's not infected just wierd looking. _I really look like a D cup. They are very full. I visit my PS next week, I will ask a multitude of questions. I can't wait till the pain stops - completely.

Breast are healing well. I feel the burning sensation on my left side. Whenever I walk or stand for more than 5 minutes my breast tighten. It is very strange. The bottom half of my breast are still hard/tight all the time. I don't feel comfortable going back to work feeling this way. Especially since my job is very physical. Anywhooo, I am going to visit my PS - I've been healing so well I don't want to mess anything up now.

Great review?

My doctor looked me and my husband in the eyes and told us the positives and negatives of breast reduction. We needed that honesty.

You will continue to feel better and better each week.  Also the strange sensations are also normal.  Pulling, pinching, tightness etc.

The breasts will continue to take shape over the next few months. 

Keep us up to date.
