4 months post op
Hello everyone, sorry for the late update. At 3 months I gained a lot of weight so I was not sure if it was a good idea to upload a picture of that time. I started going to the gym again and now I feel a lot better in my skin. Still I wish I could loose some more weight because I’m now the same weight as before the operation. They took in total 3,6 kilo (7lbs) fat from me. So I expected to weight less than before. I got instructed to eat well so I think I ate too much because I wanted my breast fat to last.
I think i got good fat retention. Last time I was worried about the unevenness in my breast but I think it was only because of the water retention. Now my breast are quite even. I don’t think my breast got much smaller from 1 month. Overall I’m happy that I got good fat retention :)
I have read that a lot of people get support bra’s from their surgeon after operation. I didn’t have any support bra and they told me to go braless for 1 month.... I think because of that I was really careful that my breast won’t move too much. I was even trying to walk differently so that my breast won’t move... It was such a hassle.
I want to give you guys tips on what I did to have possibly a good fat retention (except for choosing the right surgeon).
1. Have some help in the house for the two weeks. Don’t lift heavy stuff and don’t move too much with your arms. You want your boobs to stay as still as possible.
2. Work out only with your surgeons permission. Even as simple as cycling, if the road is uneven, your boobs may be moving too much.
3. Be careful not to squeeze your boobs for the first month. It may be temping to feel them but I tried not to touch them at all. Only light touches.
4. Don’t lie on your boobs for the first month. (Maybe your surgeon will say otherwise so listen to your surgeon). I didn’t even lay on my side for the first 2 weeks. I slept a little bit with my shoulders elevated to hopefully help my swelling to go down.
5. Eat healthy and a balanced meal. Think about more fruit and veggies. But I think protein is really important too to heal your body. I personally like to eat tofu. I have read that tofu will help your breast fat grow. But I am not sure if it is true. Anyway, I tried to eat it more in my diet. I took a lot of vitamin supplements too. Avoid blood thinning supplements such as vitamine E etc.
Take my tips as a suggestion. I am not a professional in this field so listen to your surgeon. Those tips are what my surgeon told me to do and what I read from the internet.

28 post-op
Finally 4 weeks post-op. I still have some bruises left but the swelling went away and I feel like my boobs got a bit smaller. One side got way smaller than the other so I hope it will even out eventually. I can’t judge it yet but maybe because the side that is smaller is my dominant hands side. I use that side way more so I feel like that’s why the swelling or fat went away faster. Now I’m trying to use my other hand more so that it will even it out eventually. Fingers crossed!
Post op: day 10 + pictures
Here are the before pictures and after 10 days pictures. As you can see my upper-breast is more full now and my fat around my armpits is less. I removed my armpit fat too. I’m happy now but I know my boobs will be a bit smaller after 3 months. I didn’t feel much pain in my boobs but my legs were killing me for the first 5 days. Even a small touch was painful even with painkillers. I think it is normal since they removed 3,6L of fat from my legs... Going to the toilet was painful too.
I went to the hospital to get my stitches removed. They did some massage with a machine for the swelling in my legs and a red light treatment for my breast. It was more painful than I thought it would be (the massage).
Furthermore the english councilor is really kind. She replies to my text messages whenever I have questions. I was worried about my swelling and bruises since the bruising went down on my feet too. She comforted me and told me it’s completely normal. I’m happy that she can reply quickly so I won’t be stressed out too much about it.
