Feeling great!

It’s been almost 3 weeks. I am so happy so far. I’m getting used to looking in the mirror and seeing myself with small boobs. It’s surprising how fast I feel like the new boobs are my normal and part of me. I thought it would be weirder and I would feel like an identity crisis or something but I only had that initial shock the first couple days.
The majority of the swelling is gone. They are looking and feeling more like normal boobs. Most of the incisions are closed with the exception of my left outer underboob, and a tiny spot at both of the T intersections. There is a lot of stinging itchiness but not really pain. My skin has some nerve pain sensitivity that reminds me of how my skin felt after other surgeries. Sometimes random nipple zingers, and I have soreness only on the outer sides now. Overall recovery has been much smoother than I expected. I can sleep with a slight turn to my aside if I am careful and that’s been the best. Oh and I stared wearing silicone tape around the nipple incisions because those have fully closed. I know for the next couple weeks it’s just taking it easy and no lifting which is hard because of my twin toddlers but at least the painful part is over!

I had my one week post op appt yesterday. It went great and they said I was healing very well.
The under sections of the incisions have already closed. I still have some yellow leakage on the under breast incisions in the middle and the outer edges and a little bleeding around the nipple sutures. The bruising is much less and all at the yellow stage. Honestly it looks better than I was expecting!
The swelling is way down. Pain is very minimal, Some stinging where the leakage is and sensitivity of the skin but that’s it.

Incisions sting and are sore. Leaking yellow fluid still, mostly after showering. Bruises are yellow and seem to be starting to fade. The swelling has gone down significantly over the past 2 days. The itchiness is no fun. The main sources of pain are the ends of the incisions on my side under the armpits, and the middle spot underneath the breast where the vertical incision meets the under boob incision.
The tape has stayed on 100% has not budged at all. I know a lot of people say there tape falls off within the first week but mine has stayed put. It will be my one week mark today! Tomorrow is my first post-op appt.
