Dr. Beran makes the tiniest incisions in the biz!! Barely 3 centimeters... !! Healing very well. No pain, full range of motion in my arms, no pain getting up and onto bed, no swelling, no bruising, softening up. Amazing job.. Feels like my own :)

Morning boobs are 10% what they used to be. Pain is 1/10. Lots of mobility in my arms restored. No bruising at all (never had any). Dr. Beran did an amazing job!!

Hey guys! Just wanna start off by saying that I appreciate the nice comments and likes I've been getting from community members. Really feels good to know that my journey is helping others!! I'll chronologically state everything that's happened since surgery!!


Night of pod1: i had constant 4/10 pain, and the surgery bra was really bugging me especially at the area of the incisions. I slept with my head propped up by two pillows. I woke up 3x that night in a lot of pain. I got up by sticking one leg up in the air and having both my hands tug at the legs of my pants and crunching my abs up. So painful.. When you go from a lying down to sitting up position all the blood and swelling rushes to your boobs and gravity starts to pull them down.. Each time I get up its a 6/10 pain and I've got to sit at my bed hunched forward cupping my boobs until I can tolerate the pain and get up for a few minutes.

Day/night of pod 2: this is the most painful day.. But tolerable. Pain was 5/10 and my arms had the most limited range of motion. You start to discover ways to do things without pain. I was able to lift things, open doors, close doors, only if my elbows were close to my sides. So that means I can't do anything reaching or pushing down unless it is underneath my elbow height and I can press down with my body weight. I open my pill bottles by pressing the bottle between my legs and twisting with my hands. I knew that the more flat I laid in bed the more pain it was to get up and the more soreness I would feel throughout the day. So I've been really trying to sleep as seated up as possible and the swelling and pain has decreased tremendously.

Day 3: woke up a lot less sore than I was yesterday because I was seated upward more. Pain is constant 3-4/10. The range of motion of my left arm has improved a lot!! Because of my 50% improvement in mobility of my left arm I thought today was a good day for a shower since I'm cleared to shower in 48hours. So I did just that. Took my gauze off, snapped a few pictures, hopped in the shower, washed my hair, dried off with a towel and blow dried my steristrips. I washed my post op bra and I'm currently wearing a jockey medium zip up sports bra which is way more comfy.

Sensitivity: I've got great sensitivity since the very beginning. I've got no numbness or overly sensitive areas.
Pain: the pain has gradually been improving
Range of motion: gradually improving with the left nondominant arm being the most mobile.
Nausea: I had only nausea on the morning of pod2 because I took pain meds without eating breakfast. Please make sure that you eat before you take them!!
