1 month post-op
I'm 1 month post-op and think things are settling well! I feel like they are symmetrical; m nipples are a bit asymmetrical but they were like that prior to surgery. The first 2 weeks post-op were a struggle. I had a lot of swelling that spread to my abdomen so had a lot of tenderness & bruising in my abdomen. Most of my pain was in my back around my shoulder blades. I called the office, they said it was likely the position I was sleeping in (I'm typically a stomach sleeper & has to remain on my back post-op). I started using a wedge pillow with my regular pillows which really helped! I also had a little it of shortness of breath, like sometimes I couldn't take a deep breath. Last week (week 3) things improved a lot. I'm now back to my regular activities, gradually increasing lifting. Overall I'm happy with the results so far!
