3 week post- op update

Themaxon5
WORTH IT
I missed the 2 week update because I was out of town and busy and because nothing much from the 1 week to the 2 week mark had changed a whole bunch. So here I am at 3 weeks post-op, slow changes(which is to be expected) I find my right breast(which is my dominant side) has dropped more than the left side, the bottom of the breast seems fuller and the shelf on top is not as prominent like the left. Waiting for lefty to make a move. But have to remind my self to be patient and not be so critical. My nipples are super sensitive as well, like hurts to touch. My breasts ache sometimes,but other that no pain.
I was told by my PS the steri-strips that cover my incisions would typically fall off around three weeks, mine however did not, so I emailed one of the nurses and got the ok to remove them in the shower. I finally am able to see the incision and they look good from what I can tell. I was told to wait by my PS to not start any scar treatment until incisions are fully healed and no scabbing.
I can sleep on my sides now as well, but was advised to put a pillow between my legs to offset the pressure.
I still wear a sports bra all the time(except for showering of course and when I do my massages) my Ps said I could go without one at night now if I would like.
Back to normal life as far as household things and kiddos, sometimes certain movements feel stange so I try and take it easy if I feel it too much.
Looking forward to the 4 week mark, when I can get back into my workout videos(modified as I am still not cleared for high impact till 6 weeks) but I am excited to sweat sweat sweat and work on legs and abs.
All in all still excited about this journey and love how I feel in clothes, having cleveage is amazing!

Forgot to mention about that they have softened up quite a bit, I can squeeze them now, looking forward to more softness ahead.

You're looking great! Can't wait until I can sleep on my side again comfortably haha

Thank you! It’s nice having the option, though I still find I sleep on my back more just because it still feels alittle stange on the side.

They are looking fantastic! How are you finding not being able to exercise?! As a girl who loves to train this is a major concern of mine lol
June 26, 2020
Thank you! It’s super hard not getting my sweat sesh in, I was doing either a 30-50 minute video a day or running 3 miles. I definitely miss it, when I hit the 5 week mark I’m going to start doing lower body and see how it feels.

Looks great!! did you do over or under the muscle since you workout?
June 26, 2020
Thank you!! I went under the muscle, I do like to work out but never focused on chest exercises, just like to do arms, abs, high intensity and lower. So if I can never do a push again, it’s fine by me..lol.

0ne week post-op

Themaxon5
Today is my one week post-op, had my phone appointment with PS and I am now to start light massaging(they said a good rule of thumb is whenever I use the restroom, do a massage) easy to remember then. And I now can sleep in my bed again next to my husband on my back.. i am excited about that and retiring from the couch recliner. My breast are still high and firm, with no pain, I have noticed though that my nipples are hypersensitive though right now. Still wearing a sports bra all the time and am enjoying how I look in them. All in all week one has been great!

Day 4 post op

Themaxon5
Decided to take some photos on day four post-op, just to be able to compare as they progress. I will take more every week on Wednesday(since that marks the weekly progression) They are high and hard which is to be expected, but I do love them already. Looking forward to watching them change as the weeks go by. I have a post-op appointment by phone on June 3rd, and that is also when I start massages. Will update then.
