Breast lift recovery; is it possible to hide the fact that I had surgery from my teenagers?

July 20, 2015
Asked By:KJ7769 in Michigan, MI

I prefer to not tell my teenagers that I'm getting a breast lift and small reduction. Will it be apparent to them during my recovery that I had surgery? Can I hide the pain and discomfort if it's mild? I have a pretty high pain tolerance. Is the surgical bra and swelling really noticeable? Maybe I should just tell them but that is the one thing holding me back... Thanks for your opinions.
