WORTH IT
Motivated by severe neck pain to have this done. By the time I was ready to leave the hospital, I had NO pain in my neck. Three weeks post-op now and still no neck pain. It was worth it for me. I didn't mind the surgery one bit. Only issue, and it's probably normal, is being so tired all the time. If you have neck, shoulder pain, and are big busted, consider having this done. Dr. Atiyah is an amazing doctor.

Thanks! But see my new note. :(

Sorry I had not seen your update.  Yes the sensitivity can be an issue for a while.  You really need to be massaging them 2 times a day. Use either Bio Oil or Vitamin E oil.  This will help de sensitize them a bit.  

It does get better with time.   I can remember not even being able to stand my nipples touching my bra.  It about put me over the edge.

Thank you SO much for your answer to my problem! I hadn't heard that....I'm almost nervous to touch them! I'll be going out today to get some Bio-Oil. I've used it before but just don't have any. It's been driving me a bit over the edge too. We had an anniversary to go to this past weekend, and I didn't want to get dressed to go. I appreciate your feedback.

No problem.  It will get better over time so hang on.  I had actually cut up an old cotton t-shirt and made small squares of fabric for my bra cups.  That helped with the nipples rubbing on the bra.

Very sensitive

HelcorMay 4, 2014
Is it normal to feel as sensitive as I do? I can't stand anything touching my breasts. It will be 4 weeks Tuesday and I've healed very nicely. Now if I could just get over this sensitivity/pain issue and sometimes sharp shooting pain in my left nipple area, I would be great. Any suggestions?

Improving

I'm finding a long soak in a nice warm top followed by massaging my breasts with Pure Vitamin E helps. They're still quite sensitive and I see PS on Friday. Still looks like the bottom stitch on each one hasn't disappeared quite yet. But I'm definitely feeling better...not as exhausted as I was and I'm back to walking! Yay!
