Two Months Post-Breast Lift

It’s been two months since my breast lift and everything is going fabulously! I’m back to full exercise activity lifting weights and don’t feel any pain or tightness at my incisions. Scar lines are slowly flattening and fading and I apply scar gel twice per day. At 6 weeks I was able to wear underwire bras and I continue to sleep in wireless, front-zip bras to help speed up scar healing and (hopefully) fight gravity. Swelling greatly reduced around the 5-6 week mark and my surgeon said that my breasts will reach their final shape and position by 6 months.
I had my second follow-up with Dr. Unger and he was very pleased with my results. His nurse took photos for my file and there were lots of hugs shared. I went shopping for new bras and now wear a 32DD, or 30DDD, depending on the bra. Sizes vary between brands but I wear Natori, for reference. I’ve gone out braless in public (something I’ve never done before) and it was an amazing feeling. The range of dresses, swimsuits, and tops I can wear now is limitless and I finally feel confident in my own skin. My only regret is that I didn’t do this years ago!

One Month Post-Breast Lift

One month after surgery and all is going well. Swelling continues to slowly decrease and incisions are healing. There's still some soreness around the incisions and I've pulled or trimmed a few stitches that were pushing out of my skin. Overall I feel much more secure and less fragile than the first few weeks. My range of arm motion is greater as well.
I have my second follow-up appointment in two weeks and should be cleared for all exercise and to wear regular bras again. I'm currently measuring a 30DD and was wearing an ill-fitting 34DD before surgery, so a shopping trip is much needed. I will update again as the scars continue to soften and lighten.

Three Weeks Post-Breast Lift

My third week of recovery was relatively uneventful and I’m feeling much more secure and less fragile. Bruising has completely cleared and swelling continues to slowly decrease. I’ve been walking for exercise and doing arm movements and stretches to increase my range of motion.
My steri strips had not fallen off naturally so I was instructed by my doctor to remove them at 3 weeks. I got my first look at my incision scars and areolas and overall I’m really pleased. The incision lines are much finer than I expected and I think they will look great once fully healed and flattened. I begin using twice daily scar cream today and will continue that for the next 6+ months as my scars soften and lighten. There are a few sutures that are poking out but that’s normal and if my body does not fully absorb them then my doctor can remove at a future visit.
In one week I can begin running and more strenuous cardio and I’m looking forward to that milestone. I will post my one month photos next week. I’m still very satisfied with my results and will continue to share my recovery journey.
