Probably between 2 and 3 months. I had a little bit of bruising on one side below the breast down toward my waist. Because he doesn't use drains this was just fluid from the surgery it cleared up in a couple of days, and not at all painful.
Truthfully I looked like a porn star for a few weeks. I even wore a pre-surgery sports bra when my kids were home so they wouldn't ask questions.Three and half months later I am 29"around the ribcage and 36 1/4" fullest part of bust with no bra. It takes some getting use to in the beginning. I've been flat most of my life. I celebrated by going to Victoria's Secret for the first time ever, and bought a couple of sexy/expensive bras. Big mistake at 3 weeks I felt great but I wasn't my true size so these bras aren't the right fit. The bra that is my favorite is the "Bali 1 flexible Bra" I bought at Kohls. So comfortable day and night. They are sized s,m,l,xl. Mine is small because my ribcage is 29" my cup size is C/D.
I was the first surgery of the day, I was sleepy when I left, and took is easy the rest of the day. My husband was home to take care of me. That meant taking the kids to the movies and letting me sleep.
I went to a Halloween party the next day. I took a few of my prescription pain pills to help me sleep at night. Other than that I had no need of them. Recovery couldn't have been easier. I think I am settled to the look and size I'm going to be. My scar is 2cm completely flat(it was a little bumpy initially) and barely pink and because its under the breast you have to go looking for it:) What was surprising is how natural it feels now. Right after surgery it feels like you have a water balloon(yes mine are silicon) under there, but now its just soft, yay:) Sorry for rambling on, hope this is useful.
Yeah, I celebrated with my first ever trip to Victoria's Secret bought a couple super sexy/expensive bra's at about 3-4 weeks post op. Not a good fit now:( Buy something with no wire, that you can sleep in. My favorite bra now I bought at Kohl's its the "Bali 1 flexible Bra" They are sized S,M,L,XL. Mine is a small because my ribcage is small and my cup size is C/D. Regular sizing I'm a 34D or a 36C.
