I have been feeling 100% back to normal for about a week now and it’s so nice! I’m not getting any tingling or shooting sensations anymore but my nipples and some random areas are still numb. I am continuing to do my massage, focusing on getting the left to drop down. I am comfortably sleeping on my side and am close to being able to sleep on my stomach. I am back at the gym just about full force, just nothing that is isolated to chest exercises. My incisions are basically invisible, and the only time I notice them is if I stretch my arms too far (getting something off the top shelf for example) I feel them pulling and it’s a weird and uncomfortable sensation.

Time definitely starts to fly as the pain disappears! After the 1 week mark, I got markedly better every day. Soon after 1 week post op I was able to sleep with less pillows and have now been sleeping flat and on my side for at least a few days. So much better! Morning boob is also almost completely gone.

I saw my doctor for my 2 week check up and she said I’m healing great. I am doing massage now and she said I can lay on my belly if I want and she also cleated me to return to the gym! Since I’ve gotten so soft and am feeling sooo back to normal, it’s so nice to be back. This is much earlier than other doctors allow, but she said as long as it’s slow and controlled and no jumping/jerking/quick movements, I am good to go. It feels SO good to be back at the gym!

I have also bought some underwire bras and depending on the style I’m measuring at 34DD or 34DDD. I was also told I’m allowed to sleep braless t night if I want to, but I still don’t like the feeling of them being unsupported.

The left is still sitting quite high but they are definitely getting softer with each day and with the massage they should even out within the next 3-4 weeks, as per my surgeon!

6 days post op! I saw Dr Van Laeken today and I know I couldn’t have made a better choice in a surgeon.
She removed my bandages (hallelujah!) and OMG. They’re here! They’re actually here! I know each surgeon does their post op bandages differently, but what I mostly see if straight into a bra. Dr Van Laeken did hers differently and I must say, even though I couldn’t peek for a week, I love the wrapped bandages more. I don’t have Frankenboob! I will still look semi-normal in a bra with no boobs at my collarbone haha!
The last few days have been relatively the same but less pain every day. I weaned down my pain meds by day 5 and haven’t had any chance today.
I have been getting a lot of let down sensations and feeling engorged. Each day or even each hour changes as to which breast feels more swollen/bigger.
I am so happy. They seem huge, but I went into this trusting my PS with sizing and would much rather get used to them being big than to regret going too small. I get to wear a sports bra now (yay!) and I do not like the feeling of them being unsupported yet. They are a weird numb/swollen the bottom half and my nipples are starting to get sensitive.
