Still have numbness around breasts but nipple sensitivity. Lots on one size not as much on the other. I swear they are getting bigger but I think I'm just paranoid they will grow back.

What we look like now.
Had my 4 week post op yesterday. Was about 10 seconds long. Then out the door, they said I don't need to come back. Everything seems to be healing well, but still in a great amount of discomfort. SO sore and burning all over. I have a large scab on my t incision. Doc said to massage them with vitamin e oil. But not the scab parts. They look different every day.

Stitches out!
I got my stitches out yesterday. It wasn't as painful as I had imagined. Although now they are out, I do have a little more rebound pain. They don't seem so tight and have a little more jiggle to them. I am really swollen and have fluid in the one breast. Doc says my body should absorb it. Praying it does fast. It's nice I'm not as itchy now and red. They look a little weird but I guess it will take time I know that. The one is flat on the bottom and other is nice and round. I've been looking at before and after pics. Kind of mourning my old boobs... unlike a lot of women on this site, most are ecstatic to get them off their chest. My reasons were back, neck, and migraine related. So I'm praying it helps. I know once I lose more of this belly and get some color on me I will feel a little better. It's just a lot to get used to. I have been having neck pain because my posture is so hunched trying not to pull on my incisions. Hopefully I'll be able to stretch out a little more soon. Also still have a lot of discomfort. I got cleared to drive short distances today so I went for some groceries and got dinner. All which were probably too heavy for me to carry. So I'm regretting that a bit. Also, CANNOT wait to run the sweeper!!!! Still another 2 weeks. This house is a mess and I'm tired of looking at it. Lol

If you think part of your problem might be edema, or swelling, I found something that worked like crazy. I am into essential oils, and have been using copaiba for pain, and orange for bowels, but I didn’t think to use them for the crazy swelling I have been having. Two days ago I started putting Lemon, and Geranium mixed with coconut oil at the front of my armpits( lymph glands control swelling) and just under my incisions all across my abdomen. Last night I didn’t get much sleep because I was up urinating every half an hour, which ticked me off until I realized that about 80% of the swelling on my left side and abdomen had gone! I am going to keep using this until my belly gets back to flat....I am soooo happy because all the swelling has caused my skin to tear below the open t zone area, and hurts like the dickens. Just be careful to not put the oils in an open wound. I could kick myself for not thinking of this earlier!

Kat, this sounds awesome! I'll have to try it. Just need the geranium oil. I'll definitely try it! I have lemon oil. So I just mix them with my coconut carrier oil? I'm sorry to hear your t incision is having issues. My scabs are getting oozy and funky. Scared they're gonna open on me. Thanks for the tip!

Yes, just put a pea sized amount of coconut oil in one hand and add a drop or two of oil. I used both oils because I had them, but you should be good with lemon because it is a great oil for this. I wish I had used the oils sooner since I respond well to oils rather than meds. I am feeling better the last few days and I don’t feel flat chested anymore. I get a lot of positive comments from folks who just remark I look good, and are unaware I had a reduction...I like that...people just think I lost weight! My man has been so supportive, telling me the girls are great, lol. I haven’t let him see the incisions while they are still not healed...I don’t want to gross him out. I am very grateful how sweet he is and how he makes me feel beautiful, because the last 6 weeks were so rough, and I thought my sexy days were over...but they are just beginning!
My t zone did not open until about week 4...and my swelling was so crazy, my poor skin couldn’t hold. Try you best not do over do the reaching with your arms...I found that very hard since I am short and everything is a reach for me. And if areas open I was told to put polysporin and gauze...I used non stick, because I did not want to pull at the wound and cause further trauma( I am an RN, lol) I will send positive vibes that your incisions stay intact.❤️

Thanks for the info I went a little wild ordering essential oils yesterday lol. It is amazing how the surgery can make you look like you've lost weight. I've been eating so much junk and laying around. It's so hard to stop! I did also order some organic protein powder so that should be here soon. I think it's so great our husbands have been so supportive this. Mine has seen the incisions since day one. I was afraid to let him see but he's been great. Even turned on by the franken boobs lol. That's love! Hopefully the swelling will go down soon and I don't open up. How's your pain? My nerve pain is still crazy. I'm 3 weeks today.

Hi! How are you feeling? Have you noticed improvement using the essential oils?
March 20, 2018
Hey, I am still exhausted had two days where I had lots of energy. I cleaned out my closets trying to sell clothes on poshmark. I overdid it! Now I am so sore and swollen. I'm still in pain on and off. My nerves are all whacky. I'm numb and tingly. The essential oils I was trying to use for drainage hoping my seroma would go down but I don't think they are working. I have no doubt they work for other things but it just didn't help me. I'm also super sensitive to smells so I had a migraine for a few days and couldn't use them. I also bought arnica gel and have been using it. I don't know that it's helping either. How are you feeling?

I want a reduction so bad. But only if I can get the results I want. I’m a 36DDD/36E. I want to go to a 36A. I made a post about it. I was wondering if that’s possible

Most doctors won't take you down to an A cup unless you're extremely tiny and that would look proportionate. Main reason is because you have more risk of complications and having to do a free nipple graft.
