Swelling
I just can't get it under control no matter how much I ice them. My left breast has swollen so much on the outer side that I have three bright red new horizontal stretch marks (all my others are vertical). The skin on my breasts is so thin already and every breath makes me feel like it's going to explode. :(
A week later...
It's been a rough week, but things are finally looking up.
I've been lucky not to have had any complications so far, and am so grateful for that. Realistically, I understand that I've not had a hard time at all after surgery, considering some of the stories I've read here. However, I struggle with depression, and it has a way of throwing logic out the window. It is usually managed by my medication, but in the wake of my surgery, my brain has just not been able to produce enough "happy chemicals" to keep me stable. I spent significant portions of almost every day since my surgery crying and sleeping (to avoid crying and feeling horrible), not because I was unhappy, but because I simply had no energy left. Yesterday though, a really good friend visited, and seeing him picked up my spirits so much. It was exactly what I needed.
On Monday I had my nipple bolsters removed and my surgeon says they are looking very good. I'm keeping them covered with nonstick pads and bacitracin. The left one is seeming to be my "trouble boob" so I'm paying it extra attention in the icing and ointment.
The burning pain is still very intense and isn't touched by any sort of painkiller, so it's been tough to deal with, and especially when combined with the tightness of the swelling makes me feel very anxious because I feel like I can't breathe. Which is silly because I can breathe SO much better than before! I'm also getting occasional sharp nerve zaps, mostly in the vertical incisions, that make me squirm uncomfortably and take my breath away. Ugh.
I haven't posted any pictures yet because I'm grossed out by the yellow bruising and it makes me queasy to look at my breasts for any decent length of time, but I'll try to take some later tonight. Despite all the negative things I've written, I'm so happy I had this done and I am absolutely in love with my new TINY breasts. ??

Ugh.
I woke up just now to go to the restroom and took a peek at my new boobs. I'm feeling very nauseous and dizzy, partially because seeing the small amount of dried blood around my incisions freaked me out. I'm on the edge of crying as well. This whole thing has just been so emotional and I don't know exactly how to handle it. I'm so happy to be on the other side of the surgery and have all these benefits that I've been looking forward to for so long, but I can't help worrying about all the scary complications I've read about. I'm trying really hard to stay positive.

Dr. Masters is an incredibly kind person. He genuinely cares about his patients and made me feel so at ease. He takes care to explain everything very clearly; speaking with him never feels rushed or like he's trying to just get on to the next patient of the day. He explained to me all my options, realistically achieveable results, and possible complications. Never once did he shame me or make me feel self-conscious of my weight like I've read some others do. His passion for his work is very evident. The staff at Premier Plastic Surgery and Asthetics are amazing as well. They are quick to return emails and phone calls and are generally pleasant to deal with.
