Im almost a month post-op. What is a typical recovery period after a reduction? I went from a J to a C cup. I still feel sore around the incisions underneath my breasts, especially toward the outer ends. It still hurts to raise my arms (wash my hair, etc), and I am just EXHAUSTED at the end of the day. I dont work outside the home, Ive been taking it really easy and I have a 3 and 6 year old who are ready to have their active mom back. When should I expect to feel normal again?

Hello! I am currently four days post op and went from a 34H to a 34C (hopefully after swelling). I am healing (painwise) very nicely and alternate prescribed anti-inflammatories every three hours. I have noticed, though, that the area under my arm/on my side is hard/stiff and sore when touched (I also put ice on them). They seem to be enlarged as well, as if my breasts extends to my side. Is this normal/swelling that will go down with time, or should I see my surgeon?
I'm 3 yrs post op. In the last year I've experienced extremely soreness in my breast, usually about 2-3 weeks before my menstrual cycle to a point where I can't stand to even touch them. Is this normal or should I seek a second opinion?
I have had large breasts for about 6 years now and I'm only 19. I feel that even though my breasts support themselves fairly well, I'm still seeing too much sagging for a woman my age. My neck is constantly sore and stiff and I can't stand or walk around for long periods of time without experiencing horrible upper back pain. My breasts have never looked THAT big to me, but I am now wondering if I would be a good candidate for surgery and if it is probable that my insurance would pay for it?
I had a breast lift with a slight reduction (50g from left, 55g from right) on May 9. I have healed very well for the most part (scarring is fading, and my results are beautiful) but I have been experiencing consistent soreness as well as twinges of sharper pain in both breasts since then, not horrible but definitely noticeable, maybe a 3-4/10, especially in the upper pole of my breasts over the pectoral muscle and also near my scars. Is this normal? Will it go away? Should I contact my surgeon?
