Breast reduction

WORTH IT$10,000
Ok so I'm 24 days post op and I am having this very weird thing going on. It's called mordor's cord. It is where the veins leading into the breast become enflamed and the blood clots causing them to swell and hurt. dr. Says its normal and it will go away on its own. I'm am suppose to take ibuprofen and apply warm compresses. Has anyone had this same thing happen? It's somewhat uncomfortable and at times painful. I will send pics when I can.

Breast reduction

2 weeks in - I had to snip a stitch under my left breast because it was causing a lot of discomfort. I am also experiencing pain on both sides of my rib cage right blow each breast. I called dr Andan who told me that this was normal, some people experienced this post surgery. I have 1 more week and the sutures come out. Dr Andan will put steri strips back on to preserve the incisions to make sure they don't stretch. Really looking forward to the end of the healing process. Sending some new pics

The time is running by. You will be all healed up before you know it. The important thing is that you don't have an infection.
Bottom scars look awful. Cannot believe these could ever recover.
