Okay, today marks 1 week since my surgery. Still swollen, but I can move around better now, and do more everyday activities. Follow up appt with my Dr. next week, and I hope he tells me everything is healing normally.

I was feeling blah today. Didn't want to get out of the bed, and it was such a nice sunny day. Still swollen of course! My chest gets so hard and swollen it feels like its about to bust open - seriously! Is this normal? I look at myself in the mirror and worry that too much has been taken away....I'm missing my old Tatas. And the itching! Omg, the stitches are itchy. Basically my chest all over is itchy. Is this normal?

Yes it's a process and normal .read up on reviews and you will see we all took almost identical journeys. I still have a little drainage on insisions and I'm almost 7 weeks so I'd say it's normal . Try not to worry as I'm sure your dr will reassure you and i think you look wonderful..."hang in there

You look great girl! I had my surgery on April 8th and I've had a lot of the same symptoms as you. The girls have been so swollen and that has been making them super itchy. I didn't get any bruising until 3 days post-op and it really isn't that bad. I have a little bit of drainage coming out of the incisions, but I change the dressings about 2-3 times a day depending on how much drainage I have. I haven't been given a surgical bra yet, just an ACE bandage, but I've been keeping them wrapped tight which I think has helped minimize the swelling and bruising. Everything you are going through seems to be pretty normal! :) Hang in there and congrats!

You look great. I know I thought I was small also. It is such a huge adjustment. Now I love my new boobs. I cannot believe they are mine. I feel so much better the way I look now and you will too.

Oh yes this is all normal!! Itching, the blahs, regret and swelling. This will get easier, and you will be back to yourself again son.
Be patient and everything will turn around. Judging by the pictures you posted they are going to look great! I am sure they do feel really small right now. But when you are so large to start this is a normal feeling. Trust me you do not want the big old girls back. Remember how they hurt...

April 12th 3rd day Post-op. was suffering from constipation nothing was working until my mom bought me some Cod Liver Pills. Ahhh, sweet relief!
I notice that my stomach is more prominent now than before. I think I'll look into lipo. Wonder how long I'll have to wait before I can get it done. As for my breast there fill like they are about to pop. Of course they're still swollen and tinkly.

How u feeling

I feel okay overall, but again chest is tight and very swollen. Under my breast stings and I'm concerned with the little bit of draining from the right breast. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me back. Hoping its normal and not the start of infection.
