WORTH IT$12,000
Now 3 months post-op, using scar gel and vitamin E. Occasionally still tingle/itch, some sensitivity with scar tissue, able to sleep on my side and stomach, no noticeable fluctuations in size or shape.

1) Through five weeks, I was aware of my breasts 24/7. They are uncomfortable, tight, foreign, itchy, having sharp zings of sensation, etc. It was annoying! Between 5-6 weeks is when some of that started going away for me.
2) my cousin who had breast reduction surgery recommended a u shape pregnancy pillow. This was a lifesaver for the purposes of propping myself up at night
3) they itch! - I took antihistamines and lightly rubbed the itchy areas

I highly recommend a pregnancy pillow post op. I used the c shaped and it helped me sleep on my back (I am a side sleeper) in the first several days.

These are the photos from my breast reduction preop, 1 day post, and weekly after that. Hope they help show progression. I know it can be hard to find photos of where you are in your recovery. I will add 3 month photo once I'm there.
