I just had my BR last Monday from a 36 I down to well it's hard to tell right now I asked to be a D....I am a lot smaller and they are way higher than they used to be so that is a plus. Still a lot of bruising and I noticed my left nipple has wrinkles in the way it was sown back together Im worried that I won't have smooth breasts does anyone know about this? My pain is less and less everyday. The doctor said the surgery went very well. I just had my first shower today that felt nice. I sleep on my back now since surgery thats hard to do. My nipples are way smaller than they used to be and I have lost all feeling in my left nipple I can still feel the right one so I hope I am healing ok Im really freaked out thats why I came on this site to read reviews and ease my mind. Someone said that they are going to look weird for the first while after surgery and I feel weird looking although its nice to have higher boobs not big saggy ones I want to post picture but I feel like they're still scary to look at I hope this gets better

Hold on for a while and don't stress over the shape and look of everything right now. It does take a while for the new shape to set in and the puckering to smooth. Mine started to look more normal at about 6 weeks and the feeling came back. As soon as your doctor clears you to begin scar therapy and massage, get at it. Use an organic, unrefined coconut oil and massage the entire breast 2-3 times a day. This will help smooth, fade scars, and settle everything in.
Please check back in and let me know how you are doing.

I am on my 10th day since surgery, and I notice that mine keep getting better and smoother as time goes by, as for the nipples, if they are still warm to the touch, you shouldn't worry too much, it could take a couple of months before you have all your feeling back in both of them. If you are still concerned make sure you talk to your Dr. About your concerns on your 2 week follow up.

I was just in my 13 day appointment this morning and my Dr. Told me it is perfectly normal, because they are still swollen. It could take up to 5 months before they take full shape, he say's all the wrinkles and incision seams will flatten out!

Hi there!Congratulations on your surgery. I'm 6 weeks post op. I've started using silicone scar sheets the last couple weeks. I've found that my weird looking areolas have actually been smoothing out nicely. I was worried about them looking weird too. But they have started to surprise me the last couple days. Be patient...yours will be fine too. Take care!Happy healing

I wear a sports bra, and I place to panty liners inside the bottom band so they don't rub against my incisions. I found it helped a lot.

The after pictures are important because they show you as you are, as you wanted to be, not as you were. They are you, now.
It looks like you're healing really well, the colour of the bruising suggests you're almost there with that.
Yes the finished appearance may be a few months off, but just about a week after surgery and you are looking great: in just a few more weeks they'll look and feel terrific. It certainly looks like the shape is good: I reckon the size appears just right as well.
Carry on doing whatever you're doing because you seem to be healing nicely. Try not to overdo anything.
Well done.

thank you so much yes Im feeling better every day, still need to take it easy though Im happy with the size I didn't want to go too small because I have a larger frame so Im happy with the size and the shape will get better as time goes on. I still can't believe that I actually finally got this done it took me years to get over the fear of the surgery then I just got fed up and said now or never . Im glad I had the surgery I think it was worth it I feel so much lighter. Thanks for your comments :)
As your breast pain is less already it seems like you might be going to heal quickly: let's hope so.
It's very early in the healing process so I would think that over the weeks and months to come the wrinkles will likely settle out nicely as your skin and tissues recover.
It's probably very difficult to be patient because you want to see the final new look you now. Hang on in there and each day your body will have physically recovered that little bit more.
I wish you well on a successful recovery so that you have the look and feel you wanted.
