5 months post-op and disappointed
WORTH IT
Ugggggghhhhh. Since surgery, I started having back pain again. I’ve gone back to my chiropractor on a bi-weekly basis for the last couple months. I figured my body still needed help since it had been under so much strain for so long, but now I think it’s because my boobs are still TOO BIG. I measured myself for a new bra, since I’ve only been wearing sport bras (I figured I might need more support)— I measure at a 30FF UK/30H US. It just came in and it’s too small! So disheartened. I am a lot smaller than I was, but even after getting almost 3 lbs. removed, I feel like I need another reduction.

Wow the swelling has really come down. You look great. I have been feeling really low as I still feel ginormous at 3 weeks. Your initial pre op size looked similar to mine. What size do you think you are now and are you happy?

Scabs
So, when I was taking my shower today, I peeled the glue off at the T junction and I think took some scabs with it. Does this look all right? The one with the black actually still has a scab but I’m a little concerned because it looks like it may be a little... weepy, or just not very healthy, and kind of deep in there. I’m afraid they might get infected.

They are a little pink and inflamed at the T junction. When are you seeing the PS next? Do you have access to any nurse follow up?

I have an appointment scheduled for July 5th. I’ve called the office before and spoken to a nurse when I had other concerns, so I could ask.

I think I'd call the nurse if I were you, it can't hurt and they are usually very good at reassuring you if this sounds normal and good at getting you in for a quick check if not. Good luck!

Thanks! I took your advice and called today. They said it’s normal and to use antibiotic ointment on it.

Thanks for sharing your story, it definitely wouldn’t hurt to call PS for a peace of mind..

Great! I’m fully healed and back to normal activity wise. I got measured at a department store the other day and was sized at a 36d, but that’s actually way too big of a band. I measured myself using the formula from abrathatfits.org and got 30ff (uk).
