After getting over bronchitis it seems I started healing 100xs faster. The places that were taking weeks and weeks to heal seems to be healing overnight. I credit that to making sure to badge and using lots of vasiline. There are many things I wish I did different that no amount of research I done prepared me for. I love have my breast smaller but I truly believe that after so long of suffering with large breast I hate mine. Even the size they are now I wish I could have gone smaller. I already am getting new stretch marks from the weight of my knockers. Im terrified that my boobs will end up sagging. With the swelling finally going down they are no longer tight and now I think I need more supportive sports bras.

I don't regret the surgery though.

Things are starting to look better. I have to thank the vasiline. Once I figured how to take care and what worked and what didn't and why it worked things got easier. I'm still waiting to heal but with time I see improvements.

I should have kept posting here for advice. I should have asked more questions. I should have stayed put. 5 weeks and still healing. My breast are sore today not sure why. It feels moist under my boos and in my cleavage. I really think I hate boobs now. I love that they are smaller....but I almost wish they were smaller than this. Maybe after swelling and weightloss I will lose cup size.

I have pictures of my left breast. To me no nipple. Can they just grow from nothing? That's why I'm sure I'm nipple less . I have fatty tissue on both breast bulging if not pushed in. I just don't see how vasiline will help things heal....other than keep it moist.

On a brighter note the incision looks to be healing nice once healed.

Vaseline will help keep things moist but will probably also keep the gauze/bra from sticking and ripping the new skin, I'm going to use vaseline as well post-op, so hopefully it works

Everyone is different. They took off a large mass so it's not uncommon.
