Wonderful experience - My results are great

I’m still very swollen! I didn’t swell that bad until maybe 10 days post op. Now, it’s sticking around. Varies by day and my activity level. But I’m finally starting to feel like myself again! It’s been a long few weeks. Stood up completely straight right out of bed today, for the first time. I get cramping and tight over night.

Also posting a progression of my blown vein healing. When I say Dr. Veve really worked a miracle to get the IV in my hand, I mean it! (The nurse was also wonderful guys. She attempted only once, which resulted in the blown vein. It was not her fault. I literally have the tiniest veins that run all along my carpal bones in crazy zigs). But this is usually what I leave the doctor looking like all over! And they only tried once before switching gears. So I’ve only got one this time. They tolerated me getting all emotional and were very comforting. And they made it happen in the end! So if you’re a hard stick, I hope this comforts you that it is possible! Further, I’m back home now! I wanted to post a little about what’s been happening with me (so no one else feels alone if they should find themselves in the same circumstances). You will very possibly swell! It may come and go. My post op day 1 result looked better than it does now. I’ve been assured this is normal. I’ve had cramping, ripping, etc feelings that I’ve also been assured are normal.

The reduction breast is still more swollen. But I’m so happy with the results! I’m late in posting. I’m actually 6 days post op now. I tore a muscle through an unfortunate accident with my caregiver transferring me. It’s been brutal. Wear your binders snug! And I’d highly recommend a recliner or lift chair for the first week. I had neither and made it. But it’s been a little rough.
