Can you tell me what happened when you went back regarding one breast being bigger than the other? I am three months post op tomorrow, same surgeon and she was great! I also feel like one breast is bigger than the other - could it still be swelling? Just wondering what the doctor's approach was to the concern.

Sure. I was so so unhappy with the result of Breast Left as I have come to call it. I am almost 24 months post op and now very happy with the result. I don't know why it took so long to catch up with the Right, but who knows? I do have Lupus so maybe it goes with the inflamation issues. My Dr. was very supportive and put my mind at ease . Since the 2+ lbs were removed, I no longer think about the hideous massive amounts of flesh that plagued me for so many years. It is so nice to be comfortable in a bra for the first time in my life. Just had to do a nuclear stress test, and not one thought about the boobs. One very happy camper!!!

Thank you for the quick response! I see Dr. VV at the end of this month and if she tells me to just wait and see, I will do as she says - calmly! I am still pleasantly surprised when I walk by a mirror, I stand up straighter, and I just feel better. Best thing I ever did for myself :)

Didn't have a drainage tube, they didn't do it here. However, a week after NOT showering was hard. Yep and driving around is NOT easy... bumps! The compression bra (to make sure everything settles prop) is great, but three wks after... breasts are so tender. Nipples are back up to par, and showering is becoming easier... I've been applying the silicone that I bought for stitches and bought Vaselene Intensive Care (no purfume added) because that's what the office told me to do. I was so stressed out that I had my period twice in the same month... I don't know about anyone else but my periods are varied, once month my breasts will be tender the nxt they won't. I hit them when they would be sooo. Anyway, looking forward to Oct when I can put myself into a nicer bra, not to say that the compression bra's are not a life saver... they are ?

Thank you for the update! Your incisions are so well healed! It seems like so many people are healing at such a different pace! I hope the soreness eases up for you :( I'm glad things are getting easier for you, though. Please keep us posted, and Congratulations again!!!
