Couple of pics to show the reduction in bruising (at last). Really happy with the size of them. They are still very swollen especially across the top, and very tight, but they are also so much more comfortable. I'm fine doing most normal things now, and can just about sleep on my side again too. Overall very happy and just looking forward to dropping and fluffing!

They look awesome! I'm 2 days behind you and mine are still very high and my muscles are super tight under my armpits and back. Have you been using I've to take the swelling down? I didn't get any bruising yet but I used arnica tablets. Really hope to get a result as nice as yours x

Muscles are still tight if I'm honest but a massive improvement on a week ago, when I could barely move my arms at all. I found that lifting my arms became easier everyday, to the extent that I can wash my own hair now (but still can't fully extend my arms above my head). I still can't reach behind me, or sideways, and I can't push myself up from a bed, chair or the bath with my arms at all. Hoping this improves in the next week. I have just been taking heavy duty ibuprofen for the swelling, my pain meds and antibiotics ran out a few days ago, but I'm coping on just ibuprofen fine. Did your surgeon get you to wear a band across the top of your boobs? I've had to wear mine 24/7 so far which apparently will help push them down. Glad to hear you've escaped brushing so far, mine has been quite severe!

I really wish I had been given a band but my surgeon doesn't believe in them so I have to wait for them to drop on their own. I was only given 2 days supply of muscle relaxant which ran out today so I'm panicking slightly however I have my first post op tomorrow so hopefully they will give me some more! Icepack earlier took down a lot of the swelling but it seems to be slowly coming back. We will see what tomorrow brings! So glad we are on this journey together - it's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this x

Every surgeon is different, and has their own proven techniques so I'm sure you'll be fine if your following his guidance. Btw I had my surgery at Highgate through the HMG too! Small world. Hope the next few days healing are good to you. I have my first post op appointment tomorrow morning, which will be day 9, so much later than yours, and I'm really anxious to hear how they think I'm getting on....! Good luck with your appointment too!

Shoo the bruising looks horrific. Does it hurt badly? Yours are more bruised than I've seen. They look great besides that. I think u chose the right size that you wanted.

Hey. No it doesn't hurt, but I did bruise a lot. Partly because I was on strong ibuprofen for a week post op to reduce the swelling, but being a blood thinning drug it does exaggerates bruising. It's gone down a lot now, have just posted an update and photos, so almost back to normal colour!

One week post op - they're growing!! And sharp nipple pains!?
Made my first milestone of 1 week post op. Hoped I'd be more active by now! I definitely think my boobs are bigger today than they were day 2/3 post op. They look more rounded and prominent from all angles, but I'm really liking the shape and size. I have to admit the swelling has gone down further, but bruising is still very colourful. Did anyone get weird shooting pains into their nipple post op? I seem to get it the most when I'm leaning forward, and mostly just in one breast, not both. I can't wait to get back to normal, still feeling super delicate!

My swelling was at optimum day 7 I think. Post op 3 weeks now & they reduced in size - a lot! Lots of weird sensations happening. Happy healing xx

That's reassuring! According to my boyfriend I had major "torpedo boob" in the first few days as my nipples were so swollen and pointed....But they are calming down now, so I'm sure yours will too! Hope your first few days of recovery are smooth sailing. Looking forward to hearing how you get on. Happy healing! X

It's good to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing the weird shooting pains in one nipple!! You're looking great :-)
