Post op day 18
WORTH IT$7,500
The zingers are lessening. The nipple hypersensitivity is also lessening. Looks like my incisions are closed or 90% closed, which I'm attributing to my daily use of extra virgin coconut oil.
I have my 3 week PO with PS this Monday. I hope to have clearance to start exercising- non impact. I've bought the cutest lacy bralettes in size M which are just a bit snug. I also bought a bikini. I love that I can wear off the rack tops/bras in size M.

Post Op Day 11 Update
Today is Day 11PO. As of PO day 9 my energy level is back to normal. And only taking ibuprofen at bedtime. I'm still belly bloated but not swollen in hands feet- (it looks like I've gained weight but I've lost 3 lbs since surgery). I've read that it take 1-3 weeks for post op surgery bloat to go away. I'm wearing something like a genie bra 1/2 day and compression bra the other half. I'm moisturizing breasts and incision with coconut oil since Day 6. Coconut oil has healing properties and I think it's speeding my incision healing.
I drink at least 6 bottles of water daily 16.9 oz bottles) and eating Greek yogurt with lemon juice for probiotics reasons and suppose to reduce swelling. I love my new breasts- even though they seem much smaller than I expected. I tried on clothes yesterday. I'm thrilled that I can actually put on any shirt without blossoming over with mammoth cleavage. Also nice that my wrinkle cleavage is gone. Very very happy

Looking great, a natural drug free recovery is best. Bromelain is much better than ibuprofen for swelling

5 day Post Op
Had my first post op visit with PS. I'm healing excellently. I can now take Advil ( no longer on oxycodine since PO day 2) PS removed the surgical tape and no bruising and hardly any seeping. He said swelling should reduce in a few weeks. I can now wear other sports bras but my marena is quite comfy

well done, try to get off all pain meds and heal naturally through rest, healthy diet and letting the incisions air and dry out for part of each day

I had my reduction on the same day! Congrats and you look great! it's amazing how quick the healing happens! I had my first PO followup on 4/28. He removed the steri strips and put fresh ones on. I have basically had a pain free recovery so far. I had some soreness, but it was on the sides, where massive side boobs had to be cut out. Lipo was not an option for me. The girls themselves were never sore. My only complaint is my energy level. WOW I'm just lethargic as hell. How's your energy? I have full range of motion, I came home with no drains, they were able to remove them the same day. I do not really have any physical discomfort. I simply have no energy! I miss it! :)

Congrats with healing..my energy is low too. I sleep all night soundly but by 2pm I want to lay down and most days I take a nap. I go back to work on May 5 but since I work from home I can easily take a nap if I have no conference calls. I had hope for increased energy by Friday to enjoy my last LOA day off with my new little breasts. I'm much smaller than I expected but I love how I look in clothes. Don't you?

I have not been trying on clothes yet. I have worn a tank top around the house which really does look nice, otherwise I' have my robe on or a sweatshirt because it's chilly! I go back to work on Sat 5/3 for the weekend, then I have 2 days off before resuming the 5 day work week. Nice that you can work from home. Happy healing….
