You look amazing, you have a grear figure and now the boobs are in balance :-) Glad you are doing well but good idea on the extra weekend before returning to work, the extra rest will be good. I know you said your right looks bigger still but it may surprise you and even out, you will notice even more changes in the weeks to come. My original smaller side has looked bigger all along but it is swollen more and now at 4 weeks they are matching more.
My cold gas is much better... hahaha! The cold itself is still lingering, but it could also just be my allergies (bad time of year for me) but I am overall feeling pretty good.
I haven't bought any new bras despite temptation, but I imagine I will in the next couple of weeks! I'm still feeling the best while wearing the surgical bra so that is keeping me from running out and loading up the car with bras :-)
Side sleeping is still difficult, I can roll part was on to the left side because it has been healing quicker all along but it is still quite sore on my right. I think my body is now used to back sleeping so I don't need the nest of pillows now, I just stay on my back. I am finding myself waking up with my arms stretched over my head which isn't sore now but I still worry about doing it.
I will do another photos update soon, but overall yes, I still see improvements every day. Scars are going down to thin lines in some spots and the breasts are getting softer and settling more each day which I love. I do still get swelling at the end of the day depending on how much I do.
I imagine it is a combo of technique used, each person's body and surgeon's preference...but yes, the differences in advice given is quite amazing! Mine did not recommend a surgical bra at all and says now at 4 weeks I can wear anything, even underwire. I had the anchor method. I did buy a surgical bra though (not a super beast, but it is confining) and am continuing to wear it based on how I feel... days that I wear a normal bra I find I get more swelling and discomfort by the end of the day.
