I had a breast reduction two months ago. Yes, I know that my breasts at two months are probably still swollen, but shouldn't they be getting less swollen and smaller, and not bigger? My breasts are getting bigger by the week, I can tell by the way my bra fits. I haven't gained weight, I even lost a little when I quit birth control. So why are they getting bigger and not smaller as the swelling goes down?

The dark vertical line is most likely part of your formerly large areola that weren't completely removed at the time of your original surgery. I am not sure if tattooing would provide you with a good color match with the adjacent breast skin. You would need to ask a tattoo artist....
In my opinion, assuming your breasts healed as expected, at 8 weeks postop from breast reduction surgery, you should be back to your baseline energy. Best to make an appointment with your primary care physician for an exam to make sure there is no underlying health problem.
At the very least you need a week off from work. Any more time you can get off will help you. A month would be the upper limit. Anything between a week and a month is great.
