7 Week Update

I went to Victoria Secret last weekend and got measured.....34DDD! Whoa! That equals out to a 36DD, which is one size up from where I was, so I got exactly what I wanted! They are both dropping nicely, and rounding out. I had a couple stitches come out, but the holes closed back up right away, so no big deal. I am LOVING the way they look in bras....I bought a wireless one while I was at VS. It's so comfy, I love it. Otherwise, not much to update! I go back for another checkup on Nov 5th.

You look great!! We just hit up VS today after my month post-op because I got the okay for underwires. Isn't it exciting to try on pretty bras with new boobs? Congrats again, you are healing up wonderfully!

Getting better...finally

D
Dreamer05
I'm a little over three weeks post now, and it's finally getting easier to move. It's still pretty tight feeling in the morning, and it's still hard to move my arms certain ways, but overall I'm feeling pretty good. The Mondor cords are still there, and they hurt, but there's not much I can do about that. My right breast seems smaller than my left, but I'm sure they'll eventually even out. Everything is still pretty high up and swollen. I'm a little worried that once the swelling goes down, they will be too small, because I like how they are right now, so I'll be sad if they end up smaller. Time will tell I guess. It's hard to be patient. The bottoms of both are still square-ish, and I'm hoping that continues to get better, because I dont like how it looks at all. My next appt is on Thursday so I'll see what he says.

Mondor Cords?

D
Dreamer05
So, I'm pretty sure I have developed Mondor Cords....lucky me. I guess I know now why it's been so darn painful underneath at the crease. I took some ibuprofen since I'm over 2 weeks post and have a warm compress on them, so hopefully that will help. That's what the treatment seems to be when I googled it. There was one that I think I "broke", I pressed on it and it snapped....I almost threw up, it was gross. But that one feels better now. I'm going to call Dr. Gervais on Monday to make sure there isn't anything else I should be doing, but from what I've read they'll eventually resolve on their own. *sigh* Have I mentioned yet that I am ready for this recovery to be over?

I'm glad you posted. These procedures are painful for most of us. I had a lift 9 days ago and if anyone should bump into me I think I would scream! My breasts are red, blue, purple, green and yellow. It's hard to sleep on your back and I am going to burn my compression bra when the time comes. Nothing like putting your tender breasts in a bra vice!
