Having a horrible day
We called my doc and he said you swell during your period and that it's only 8 days post op, but I'm so scared that I'm not going to be the size he originally stated. I def look smaller, but still huge in eyes.
Am I just being a PMSing emotional mess? Did your swelling still go down dramatically after 8 days? I hate feeling like this!
My first period since surgery
A bit upset
I'm not in any real pain, so I'm just taking tylonel when I need it, so that's a plus.
I feel hugely swollen and upset. I couldn't take the surgical bra anymore so i switched over to a camisole with a shelf bra. I feel like I am still busting out of this. The doctor said I was still swollen and I should go down in size but not by that much. I'm really nervous that the end result is going to be too big still.
I know i am being a worry wort and I'm going to love my new breasts, im just not feeling that now.
Provider Review
I have always wanted to have a breast reduction. Finally in May, I worked up the nerve and asked around for recommendations. Dr. Epstein was recommended and I checked out his website and was impressed. I made an appointment for a consultation and when I met him he istantly put me at ease. We discussed what I was looking for, realistic expectations and results. His office people were very nice and helpful and the office was clean and well maintained. I made the decision to go with Dr. Epstein and was approved by my insurance company for out of network surgery. I went for my pre-op and I was given a book that explained my surgery from pre-op to post op and everything in between. This book became my bible durning everything. I was so impressed it with it. It had in it what medications to stop taking, a timeline up to the surgery, what to expect durning and after the surgery and how I would feel the weeks after. My surgery was on August 5th and I thought it would never get there. It surgery was outpatient at Stonybrook Surgical Center. Everyone put me at ease and was super nice. I was nervous walking into the surgery room, but they put me at ease and before I knew it, I was waking up in recovery. I didn't feel real pain, just a burning in the incisions. They told me it was because of the anesthesia. By the time I got home and into bed I felt so much better. I did look a bit like Frankenstein afterwards but I could tell immediately afterwards that I was much smaller. I've had several post op appointments and he always listened to my concerns and fears. I am so happy that I have had this surgery. Dr. Epstein is an amazing surgeon and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
