495cc Dual Plane: 4’10” 106 Lbs Breastfed 1 Baby

After seeing a few surgeons I chose Dr. Young based on his reviews and his staff. He was not a man of much words but I had done my research so I didn’t have many questions. The staff was really helpful and kind.

I have uploaded pictures from the first month. The hardest part was not being able to carry my one year old.

Day 4 was the hardest. I was in so much discomfort and sleeping upright was difficult.
There wasn’t much pain more tightness and soreness which lasted the whole month. The incision sites were painful but more like a stretching pain not too too bad just very annoying.
Currently 5 weeks and the soreness is finally almost gone, parts of the breast are still a little numb but they are already pretty soft. I am able to carry my toddler without pain although it still feels weird like my boobs are in the way.

Breastfed for 11 months.

First picture: I had just stopped nursing vs 2 weeks post op. I wanted my perky boobs back and wanted them a little bigger than when I was breast feeding.
Second picture: One month post op. The right one is still higher. Also, I started lactating around week 2 even though I stopped about 6 months ago. It was only a little but it was weird. It has stopped by now.
