I had a breast lift with fat transfer to the upper poles and a tummy tuck 17 days ago. My breasts are very tight and look flatter and smaller than I had imagined, they feel very compacted. (One is bigger at the moment, with more swelling, it needed more work than the other.) I wonder if they will project more or just deflate/flatten even more once swelling goes down? Does this look normal? (Tummy is extremely swollen from the TT and I can't stand straight yet so slouching in the photos.)
