4 weeks seemed to be a turning point for me. I could finally sleep on my side a little bit and my swelling has significantly diminished. I am pain free unless I accidentally roll totally onto my chest or something like that. I got back in the gym this week too! I have just been walking at an incline at a good speed or using the relaxed stationary bike.
My scabs are pretty much all gone except for one scab at the t junction on the side that was draining and a scab right on the bottom of the areola where it meets the vertical incision. I have been peeling aroun incisions but just really thin dead skin so no problems here! My right side is just a little swollen. I can gauge it by the little but if armpit pat being way bigger on that side. It's nice to have a little trick or marker to go by because its really hard to tell how much of the actual breast size is.
I am comfortably wearing size medium bare essentials bandini bras and have tossed all of my old bras. I think a couple more weeks and I can hit Victorias Secret to get a couple real bras!
I am so happy that I did this. Absolutely worth every second. Ill add some new pictures sometime this weekend.

Hey girls! I thought I would give another quick update. I have been feeling great, especially the last couple of days. I have been peeling a little bit and most of my scabs are coming off. The left breast is pretty much perfect! It was the side that drained a little bit. My right side originally softened up first but it didn't like me going back to work last Wednesday and swelled up. It's come down a lot but you can tell the side of the breast is still a little bigger. So in my pictures they look a little uneven but I'm not judging for a month or so if not more. Swelling likes to linger with me.

I saw my PS this morning. He said that everything looked great and he would give me an A+. He agreed that my right side is swollen but after feeling it said it didn't feel like fluid but swollen tissue. And the tightness under my incisions is scar tissue forming (that will come and go) and now swelling right under my incisions. He also said the my left draining side was perfectly fine. I was worried that the right NEEDED to drain and he compared it to a blister where if you don't pop it, it can be re-absorbed and just fine. Since nothing is infected, it will resolve itself. and if it does drain, that's fine too.He said that going back to work was a little bit of a shock to the nerves and that I should adjust but to take it extra easy as well. He said if it throbs like it was yesterday I could take a pain pill if necessary.
I feel better. More back on track.
P.S. currently have panty liners on the inside of my bra because the drainage seems to go right through gauze and onto my clothes. Not okay. Hopefully this works!
