Today marks 1 week since my surgery. I'm still in a lot of pain and my left breast hurts more than my right. I still don't like how my breast are looking but I know it takes time. My right breast is softening up, my left breast is still hard. I still have a lot of swelling but I can see where they're forming back like normal breast. I still don't have any feeling in my nipples. My right nipple looks good but my left nipple still hasn't popped back out yet. Overall I'm just taking one day at a time and expecting amazing results!!!

Hi. Hope you’re feeling better. My surgery was on October 9,2019. I fell so good right now. My size was 36 E. They were soooo big. At today I dont feel or have any sensation under the both breast. Specific the areas were the scars are. Your nipples will no cake out until weeks later. The nerves need to heal and these take time. My size right now is 36 C. The swallow take at least 3 month but without hurt. The recovery to me take too much time. Literally like two month when I start to do the normally things mom do. Obviously without lift weight you need to be careful with this. Is the most important thing in the recovery. Sorry I know my English skills in writting are very bad. But my first language is Spanish. So forgive me that. Hope understand all I am trying to tell you. Have an excellent recovery. Btw you will feel so better without than weight in your back. Your back and shoulders will thank you.

Thanks, I have been worried about the numbness under both breast. I can't feel anything and one of my nipples that was pushed in seem to be popping out. I'm two weeks post opt and I know I still have a long road ahead with my healing. I'm just ready for them to look and feel normal.

I am scheduled with Dr. Kenkel in August. Wondering how you are doing now and how you feel about him in general.

So no drains? And where is the padding for the incision lines? Also in the picture you are taking the photo your arm and shoulder is extended up. You need to keep your arms to your sides. If the middle junction pulls apart I here its a nightmare.

That's the same thing I was thinking?? No paddling unless I cover my incisions myself. I'm not draining much at all. I have to remember to keep my arms down!!

I have very very little feeling in my nipples and I’m almost 1yr post op :( I get a vert sharp pain that lasts only for a few seconds that runs from my nipple to the outside edge of my breast like my armpit. Super weird but it’s only a few seconds like 10secs

Today I had my surgery at 7am with Dr. Kenkel. All I remember was getting marked up then being pushed to the operation room. Next thing I know I’m waking up and seeing my husband and the nurses in the room. Pain was horrible!!! It still is, I felt nauseous after the anesthesia so I couldn’t really stand or walk. On a scale from 1 to 10 the pain without medication is a 10 and with medication it’s a 4. My left nipple is not sticking out like my right on is so I’m concerned about that. The area Where he did Lipo is swelled up so it’s sticking out a lot and it looks weird so I need that to go down. Overall as of now I’m ok with my results. I know Im healing and things have to adjust. Ladies please let me know if my boobs look normal???
