One full week post op

WORTH IT$7,800
So it's been a full 6 days since I had surgery. So far I am able to bathe on my own dress and apply dressing on my own. I still get winded and find myself tired often then not. But I am 100 percent better the day one post surgery. I know I have a long journey to go through before I am back to my old active self again. But I feel confident that I have and will continue to made the right choices.

You looking amazing.. It's hard to believe you're only 6days post-op. Do you know if had the lollipop or anchor or something else.
Hi flat tummy. I am not sure which procedure we're don't. When I went to my consult the doctor spoke to me about the anchor method. I'll know more about my procedure at my post of appointment. The procedure took three hours vs the original two hours the were quoted. I still have a ton of questions. Like how much was removed from each Breast and what complications presented themselves if any.

Big reveal

Day three and I was able to shower today. My mom helped to bath me. I used dial antibacterial soap. My mom was very careful. It felt great to be able to bath and actually see the result of my reduction. I am still getting used to them. I feel like they might be to small but I do have to remember that I have had large breast all my life. I can actually see my abs a bit more then before. That means a great deal. So my follow up appointment is Monday I assume the stitches will come out. So far I think I am healing well. Will keep you guys posted.

Looks great... What size were you before and what size are you now? How long before you can go back to work?
Flattummy2016 I was a 34 dd I am not sure what size I am now. I guess I'll know after the swelling goes down I'll be at home for 4 weeks recovering. Thank you for the commentary

Sounds like all is going pretty well for you. I'm scheduled for Friday and getting a bit nervous.
You will do great. Deep breaths as long as you take things slow and stay hydrated you will be great. I didn't realize what had happened until my procedure was complete
