WORTH IT
I never seem to remember to say anything about the pain! As for the pre existing back/neck pain it has changed. I have very minimal pain in my traps now. Before it was debilitating. My neck pain is centered in spine now. My back is better but most importantly the tension headaches from my traps are pretty much gone. I still have headaches but they are totally different.
As for surgical pain the worst was first 3 days, then it was more of just a discomfort for about the next 6-7 days. Now there really is only slight discomfort when it is bed time, they just feel full.
I would do this surgery over in a heartbeat! The benefits supersede the risks 10 fold!
I see my PS a week tomorrow and am hoping for the all clear to start my pool Physio again and all my active Physio as well as the gym for me!! I need to lose some pounds now that I am not having to worry that I will knock myself out with my double bra'd boobs then only to go flying off the back end of the treadmill! All of this in a full gym...talk about embarrassment! LOL!
No I can run and appreciate a little bounce...not a damn earthquake as the hit back down!

So here I am at day 23 and all I can say is wow! I never dreamed things would heal this fast not look as good as they do! (I know a little conceited)
Things have been going great! I have been able to sleep on my stomach for the past 5 or so days although I am keeping my adjustable bed head and feet up to help prevent the belly sleeping. I find I am going and sleeping across the center crease to get on my stomach in the night! LOL
Everything is dropping into place and it is funny at times I look at them and think damn it she hardly took anything off, they are still so BIG!! I honestly would have been ok if I was a small B. I am a bang on true C.
I bought some Scar Zone for firther on in the recovery, right now I still just polysporin them 2 times a day. a few of the stitch ends have fallen off, there are many still to go and in the pictures that is the scabby looking areas. I am completely healed, never sprang any holes or leaks. I am so VERY happy with the job Dr Ayeni did that I will NEVER be able to Thank her enough!

Well I finally got to see my PS yesterday and she prescribed another 7 days of antibiotics so that if there was/is a hematoma it will not become infected. I am now continuing with the warm compresses and compression bras. She is surprised how quickly I am healing.
I think they look fabulous! I am so happy, just sad I didn't think to do it sooner!

Congrats, you look great! You did have a lot removed, but I beat you on the difference in breast sizes! I still can't believe that I had 544 removed from lefty and 1044 removed from righty! I knew they were uneven, but, yikes!! I hope your hubby has come around with his opinion on your surgery. Tell him that he wouldn't like it if he had baseballs between his legs, would he?? Hope your hematoma continues to go down in size, and you continue to heal well!

Wow what a difference! I was shocked by my own being so different in size! I knew I was a good cup bigger on the left but didn't expect over 400g difference!
Hope things are going well for you!
My hubby still will not look cause apparently it doesn't look like me! The way I see it, the longer I can keep him away from getting other things! LOL
