I had my final post op appt with my PS and all is healing well. I can start doing my regular exercises again and I'm happy about that because I think I've gained a little weight since the surgery.
My only complaint is that I wish I had been reduced to a smaller size ( I went from 32j /32HH to a D). From looking at all the comments it seems that this is a common complaint. I had visions of perky c cups lol!
Both breast have softened up considerably and they have both dropped . I'm able to sleep on my side and stomach again and the zingers are almost non existent (almost). The scars itch like crazy and the scars on the left breast are raised and not a neat as the scars on the right, because of this my PS says I need to put the silicon tape for the rest of the year. For all the ladies considering this I can honestly say that this was such a great decision for me. I am happy with the look of my breasts, no more neck and back pain and my clothes fit so much better. The scars are so secondary and not as gruesome as we think. For me the pros definitely out weighted the cons!!

Hard day today

Today was a hard day:( woke up with left breast bruised and swollen and painful to the touch.
Checked my incisions and there is no sign of infection but of course my mind is running away with me! I took some strong painkillers and slept this afternoon so I'm hoping the bruising and soreness goes down.

Hang in there. The recovery takes at least four weeks and there are ups and downs. However, once you are recovered, life is so wonderful. Hugs!

Thanks so much! It's been smooth sailing really until today , but it just shows that we still need to take it easy, even when we feel fine.

i bet the clue is in "woke up". you probably squashed it a bit in your sleep without realising. it is early days so take it easy.

Hang in there. You are looking great. Days 15/16-24 I seemed to have more discomfort, and have read this is quite common. I think we are over the initial pain/discomfort from surgery and start to be more active even if we don't realize it. Take it easy, rest as much as you can, and try not to overdo it. You will start feeling better soon.

chances are you slept awkwardly and crushed your boob a bit. just take it easy and use bromelian to reduce swelling
