11 days Post op, I got the rest of my stitches out of my breast today. It feels so good to not have them poking me:) my bruising is subsiding and everything looks great! They showed me some if my before pics and I just wanted to cry, happy tears it's ALL been worth it. I have to admit after some of the horror stories I read I had second thoughts a few times. My recovery has been GREAT, very little pain through out the whole thing. My incision scar is thin and healing nicely. My stomach and nipples are still numb which is a little creepy lol! I was given the okay to go to the gym and do the redundant bike so I'm excited about that. I go back to my PS at the end of Nov (1 month pre op) I'm a little sad lol! I've gotten so used to being there each week hehe!

7 days post op! I wore jeans today, that was exciting! I went to my PS this am and finally got both drain tubes out I was so excited!! Everyone always says it hurts so I was a lil scared. I took a pain pill before I left my house (just incase) but really it only burned when the end came out and as soon as I pug pressure it quickly stopped. So really not bad at all I think it's more sub concise than anything. I also got my stitches in my stomach and belly button out. It was a little uncomfortable, bit no real pain. I mean reall considering the pain the first day This is nothing! I'm still swollen but feel great!! They cleaned all the tape gunk off and cleaned my bellybutton and the incision on my tummy I feel so clean lol! I go back Mon to get the stitches in my breast out, I can't wait! Right now the stitches itch UGH! I feel like myself again, I can lay on my side, go to the bathroom and not have to worry about this drains. Thankgoodness!! Can't believe only a week later how nicely my incision looks all closed up:)

Ugh I'm 5 days post op n I can't help but think something send wrong. My left boob looks way smaller then right one. The right one is really swollen but left one doesn't look like its going to drop anymore. Now I'm getting scared what if it deflated or what if something went wrong. To be honest it doesn't look that much bigger then my normal boob. Ugh!!!! I don't know. I'm going to see doctor so he can check because not only that I'm experiencing some sort of bubbles in that boob as well.

It sounds like  you may have some fluid build up in that breast??  Have the doctor check them both.  As far as the dropping goes this will continue to happen for the first 3-6 months so give that some time.
