Hated my large breasts for nearly 50 years and the last ten years of the threat of breast cancer with dense breasts, cysts and tumors...very excited to take control of body and now that I am done having children I can reduce my cancer risk and have the breasts I always wanted.

What I really need to feel on Day 5

I am finding the recuperation a little more difficult than I thought it would be. I guess I kind of expected a steady improvement each and every day and here we are at day five and I feel as debilitated as I was on day three and day two. My pain is sort of very much a constant not terrible but not fabulous. My mobility is not terrible not fabulous. My comfort level is not fabulous. What I really need to see is that shift of daily improvement feeling the trajectory is moving upward.

I am 54 years old, active in fitness and never smoked. I should be a poster child for healing, yet I too am finding it slow and a little frustrating. My left breast developed a large blood blister underneath and that wound continues to get a little worse every day. Waiting for some improvement! My right breast is flawless. Hang in there and be patient, give a lot more time for healing goals than you normally do and HANG IN THERE! Peaceful thoughts for you superwoman! You will love them.

Lots of bruising up and down the sides from contouring. Bleeding has stopped. Swelling is the same. Pain in my sides, back and abdomen is still notable. I complained of pain in stomach and was told nothing was done to that area, but there is visible bruising. I think having Lupus makes me more vulnerable to bruising.

Congratulations! I had mine done two summers ago at age 51 and I feel like a different person! Give yourself time for healing. The first couple of weeks aren't a lot of fun. But it WILL gradually get better! Your results actually look really good! Try to be patient and just take really good care of yourself while you're healing :-)

They look great hun!!! I just had mine done by Dr. Somogyi yesterday, so here I am on day one! It’s a process. Healing takes time and everyone is different. It sure does hurt but think of all the pain and inconvenience our large chests caused!! I’m excited for you and excited for when I get to have a peak at mine!!!
