New pain?!
Hey everyone! So I was doing really great up until about a week ago...My son was climbing me like the little money he is, and dug his elbow into my left breast, just near the cleavage/breast bone area. It really didn't even hurt, but the next day I noticed I was really sore. I have been sore like this for a week now and it isn't getting any better. It hurts worse when I press on the area, or when I change positions, our take a deep breath, almost like a bruised feeling. Taking ibuprofen and Aleve hasn't helped and I'm starting to worry that something is really wrong, or that my son elbowing me was just a coincidence and something is wrong with the breast/implant, etc. I don't see my doctor until Tuesday and I feel like I'm going to lose my mind, but I can't get in any sooner because of work. Anyone have any reassurance for me? Ugh, so stressful...
6 1/2 weeks...32DD
It has been such a long time since I updated! Everything is going well, and I am back to feeling almost 100% normal. The swelling seems to be all gone, no more pain, I can sleep however I want, and I got to shop for bras! I went to VS and got sized and they said 32D but I tried one on and the cups were too small so I ended up being 32DD. I dont feel like they look like a DD, but I guess different cup sizes look different on everyone, and I think VS sizes up a little so we will see what I am at other stores! Anywho, It was so nice to buy bras without any padding :)
My incisions are healed, but still red....cant wait for them to fade! The only thing that is still bothering me is that my skin is numb in some places. It is a really annoying feeling, because every once in a while I will feel like I have an itch, but when I go to scratch it, it is in an area where the skin is totally numb. I am really hoping that goes away. I have also noticed that my skin gets really itchy every once in a while. I have been religious about putting on lotion and body oil after I shower, because I suspect it is just from the stretching of my skin, since it is a similar feeling to how my skin itched when I was pregnant. It is so nice to feel good in clothes. I am going wedding dress shopping for the first time tomorrow and I am so excited! I will try to update again soon!

11 days post
Helllo all! I am about 11 days post op and feeling pretty great (other than the fact that I have to go back to work tomorrow!) The nerve pains I was having while trying to sleep are pretty much gone, and I'm able to sleep on my side (pretty) comfortably. My PS told me I could cut back to wearing a bra only 8-10 hours per day, so I wear one all day and sleep without one. He also showed me how to do massages, which I'm not gonna lie, I really hate doing lol. I dont know why, it doesnt hurt, it is just uncomfortable and strange. He didn't really tell me how often to do it, just that a lot of people like to do it in the shower, so does that mean once a day? I've been doing it twice a day just to be safe! He also said to start rubbing moisturizing cream on the incisions twice a day, so I have been rubbing bio oil on them in the morning and at bedtime. One thing that is driving me crazy....the skin all over my boobs itches like crazy! But it is like an itch under the skin, that I can't really scratch. I guess that is more of the nerves regenerating? Annoying!
Anyways, I need to run out and grab some new comfy sports bras that have some type of light lining to disguise my constantly visible nipples lol. These things are ridiculous! I did some bra measurements last night at home just out of curiosity (even though I know they will still change, and it probably isnt 100% accurate) but I came out to a 32C. I have a couple 34B bras from when I was pregnant, which is the sister size to 32C, and I must say, I don't see those things ever fitting me again, so I don't know if that measurement is right, but we will see! Overall I am pretty happy. The left side is a little bit bigger, but it is the side I initially had more pain and swelling on, so I think that might have a bit to do with it, and my left side was very slightly larger pre-op as well. It is nothing that is noticeable with clothes on, and probably only noticeable to me without, and it is still early so hopefully it will get better and not worse.
