UPDATEEE
Heyyy guys I know it’s been a minute, I’ve been trying to heal up as much as I can. The opening I had is now closing up very fast actually. Just in two weeks it’s basically closed . I couldn’t be happier. I have developed a hard rock kinda knot in my breast with the opening but my doctor told me not to worry since I’m healing so fast my body will slowly break it down .

Update ! Two weeks post op
Hey guys, so unfortunately I’ve developed a very big opening under my right breast. I had a Hematoma in that breast. It started to bleed out ALOT to the point where my bra and blankets were soaked in blood ! I went to see my PS and he said it was fine and not to worry. I woke up this morning with a huge hole in my breast and I spoke to my doctor again, he told me it’s fine and it will heal ! I’m not infected or anything so he’s not to much worried about it . Me on the other hand ? I’m so worried, I keep questioning myself if I made the right decision. It’s been two weeks of bed rest and taking it easy, and I feel I haven’t gotten any better.. I’m sure this will pass but ughhh . It is very frustrating

It's probably good that the blood came out rather than be trapped inside. Seeing your own blood all over the place after a surgery is alarming, but since your doc seems to think it's fine, maybe you can find comfort in his words. Who wants to wake up with a hole in their breast, though! YIKES! I always wonder why they don't stitch it back up, but they never do, so it might be your body's natural way of healing. It took me a full month to heal, so keep taking care of yourself. Your body has been through a major surgery, and has now been dealing with the hematoma. Your body is going to take all of your energy and put it toward healing, kind of forcing you to rest so it can do its job. Hang in there!
Thank you so much
Best of luck to you and your healing. Here's my unsolicited advice: Do you have any ABD Pads ? I found them so very handy. I placed them along the incision line under my breasts. They are highly absorbent and a comfortable buffer between the skin and your support garment. They are inexpensive and available on Amazon. Oh and use the simple bacitracin ointment keeping the incision protected at all times. But not Neosporin as you might be allergic to an ingredient in Neosporin (happens more often than you'd think). Good luck.

Update 1 Week Post Op
Hey guys so I know that I’m supposed to wear a bra at all times but I couldn’t help myself, I had to see what I looked like in a crop top lol and omg guys I’m sooooo amazed at my breast. It literally brings tears to my eyes so see how much of a change has happened to me literally in a matter of hours !! As you guys know I am 1 week post op and my overall experience this week has been up and down . It’s really hard laying in a bed for days trying to recover, and every time you get up and do something there’s a voice in my head saying sit down if you don’t rest your nipple will die lol Its really hard getting used to new size of my breast. It has been a challenge. I called my mom crying because I felt flat chested but that’s normal. My doctor told me it’s all about hormones and the fact that ive had these big breast All my life it is a very big change going smaller. Over all I’m very satisfied with them . I’m ready to see them healed up. I’m still having pain, a lot of tingling and like zinging sensations which hurt like hell. I still have feeling in my nipples, which I’m happy as heck about but I have no feeling in my actual boob. Neither one . I can feel if my nipple is touched but everything else ? Completely numb ! Hopefully that does go away with time..

You look great! I hope you're feeling much better. What a HUGE (lol) difference! Everyone heals differently, and you are so young that if you follow doctor's orders, you'll probably be all healed up in no time. I'm old (61) and had a reduction last July. I didn't have any healing issues, but it still took me 4 entire weeks to feel like myself again. I was itchy like crazy, as if my skin was too tight. I also had a little bit of lipo on the sides going up into my armpit and that was VERY painful while healing, much more than my breasts. So, make sure to rest during the day, no lifting that baby, and get lots of sleep, drink lots of water. And, thank yourself for being brave enough to make this change! (hugs) Heal well!
Thank you so much love. I’ve definitely been trying to rest as much as I can.
