I am sorry if I made you nervous or a lil afraid, just being honest on my expierance. It may not feel that bad with you, but it did with me. That is a very sensitive area to me. It will be a lil hard to cross your legs, especially if you use the one that he takes the graph from. It just all depends on how well you handle it. I allowed myself to go back to work in 2 wks, of course I talked it over with my PS, and he said it would be ok. My job requires a lot of standing and walking, so this is why I wanted to go back to work in that length of time. I wanted to be healed up so that I wouldn't experience a lot of discomfort. Yes let me tell you, it is ALL WORTH IT! I love the way my nipple reconstruction turned out! I looks good! Not bragging or anything, but I really am pleased, and you will be also!!! Good luck on everything!! I wish you the best! Let me know how it turns out!!
Good luck on everything! My PS used the skin on my breast to make the nipple, but he used a skin graph from my upper inner thigh to make the areola. I am so glad that you will not have to experience that! It can be quite painful at times where he cut. I am healing all up now, not as sore anymore. Soon, we will talk about the tattooing! Yay! Hope you will be as pleased with yours as I am mine! Good luck!!
I think what you are feeling is normal because I felt that way. It has to take time to settle, afterwards you will be fine.It's just from having that expander in and getting it filled.
