No more pain

WORTH IT$5,000
The pain went away about 3-4 days later but the other lumps are still there. I'm able to sleep on my belly comfortably with a pillow to prop me up.

How are you doing? Let us know if your breast lumps were benign. Hopefully everything is well with you. Take care :-)

Cyst's in both breast 4 months post BR

So ladies I am 4 months post op and about a month ago I was doing a breast exam and felt 2 lumps. Both are on the outer sides of my breast. The one on my right breast was the length of my pinky finger but as thick as 2 fingers. The one on my left breast was as big as a quarter but also pretty big. Now I went to pcp and she said she felt 6 lumps not just 2. So next step, I saw a breast care center Dr who also confirmed the 6 lumps. I then had a mammogram which hurt like hell and I had an ultrasound. The radiologist looked at the images and informed me that the type of cyst I had that it was best not aspirated because would make them worse.

Mind you I started working out last week and 2 days after I started one of the lumps had become so tender and painful to the touch. So the following day I had an apt. with my Dr. who performed the surgery and he said these cyst were Rey common and he recommend that I do aspirate the ones that were causing pain. Boy, am I sooooo happy I did. It was such an immediate relief. The built up fluid was causing the pain. They used a long syringe and the fluid came out very bloody mixed with fluid that resembled puss. It was at least 20/30 cc. It's been a full day and I was able to sleep better last night. The cyst are suppose to calcify and reabsorb. They said this could take a few months. Cyst are also scaring from this intense surgery, just apart of the healing process.

Glad to know ur going to b alright ((hugs)). They told u d cysts were common- but what causes them
Its just trauma and how your body handles it. No one ever said how and why. They could have been there for a while but because of the swelling maybe I just never noticed.
Wow, I am glad I read your update. I never knew that cysts were possible after a BR. I like to keep informed of anything that can happen. Hope you feel better soon. I would love to see some more pictures!
More pics to come. Glad I could help.
I didn't know either. I thought I was in the clear of complications. Thx by the way. Feel better as soon as these knots shrink. I was so depressed. Had a lil break down because it was just really scary having these things in my chest not knowing what they were.
so much information and common sense in this review, really enjoyed reading it and wishing you continued improvement

Glue- nipple lifting

Hey ladies I'm feeling great and moving around fine. Feeling very confident in my new body. Love how my breast no longer hang and droop. Only issue is when its cold or windy nipples become so erect. I need to purchase nursing breast pads to cover because tissue and guaze is to visible. My breast are still very sensitive to touch. Something weird and maybe to much info but when I touch my nipples feel alil aroused. Compared to when my breast hang and were a lot larger I would never be turned on with nipple stimulation.

So this dang on glue is so annoying. I always have the urge to pick at it. So due to all my picking I can see a tiny corner where it looks like my nipple is lifting or isn't as flat as it should be. I'm going to contact my Dr to see if it needs to b glued back down. No signs of infection though.

You look so good. Those super sensitive nipples are quite a surprize. Mine are still erect all the time. My husband says the turkey is done all the time.
You look great!
Thx a bunch!
Love ur results. How has d healing been
Actually, its been pretty smooth. The breast have rounded out. Scar is not really a biggy. The are perky and nipples point straight not down..lol
Great :). Am happy it went smoothly.
