4 weeks po

I'm 4 weeks po and I don't have any more it goes or shooting pains. My scars are irritating sometimes because the sutures are coming to the surface because my body is rejecting them. I went to dr and she plucked some out.
Also right side is way higher so I am doing massages there and wearing a tube top over bra but with it on the left side like normal and over the right side for a little push down pressure to encourage dropping.

I am in the same boat. 3 weeks for me tomorrow and my left is lower than right. Doc says one usually drops faster. I felt my left dropped right away after surgery. I am worried that the muscle is not holding it up because that was the side I had the capsule removal. It is lower than I want. I really would rather the left stay where it is and I get the right fixed and lifted higher. It's a waiting game to see what happens. I have yet to find a exercise bra that feels comfortable. Hope yours drops like you want. They look really good. Your incisions are healing nicely.

I said that backwards. I would rather the right stay higher where it is and the left get fixed and made higher.

I keep getting these pains when I bend down, I hope they are just healing pains and that they go away.

I think it's nerve pain. I was pretty pain free with just muscle soreness like I worked out till the past couple days. I am now 5 days post op and I am getting little sharp pains and cannot bend over either. Sharp twinges are usually nerves healing. Did you have pain in your arm pit areas going into your arms? I usually have it when I wake up then it goes away. I hate the surgical bras. They are so itchy. I have tighter but softer sports bras but am worried they are too tight. Were your surgical bras tight or just fitting? Did the doc say anything to you about wearing tighter bras? I know not to wear regular bras or anything wire. I am just thinking I need them to drop so maybe I should not wear anything tight but the other part of me wants them to heal higher. Oh what to do????

So my dr said just sports bras. She didn't even suggest a surgical bra. I don't know why. I thought about them not dropping too but I supose they will eventually. Also I have some stretch marks in the upper pole. So the fuller it is up there the less noticeable they are!! And yes they are sharp pains. I hate taking pain pills for this long but when I don't take them in just so uncomfortable when I'm still and focused on every little feeling! Have you gone back to work?

Oh and no armpit pain and the itchy finally went away. And the doc said just sports bras that fit. Not to tight or to loose. I prefer tight though. Also I still have tape, she said just let it come off whenever it does, but it's not coming off! I'm just over 2weeks po

Still very sore and swollen, I can't wait till they settle, soften, and aren't swollen anymore. The right one is so much more swollen, had much more work done. Looking forward to seeing the final result.
