2weeks

It's been 2 weeks, I feel awesome! I'm able to sleep on my sides (FINALLY)! I've been doing that for possibly a week now. I completely stopped taking meds. I only took meds for 1st week. Honestly, I've experienced no pain. Some discomfort, yeah. Like your wire in your bra digging in skin. I can tell when I'm doing too much, my boobs will feel hard as a rock. I just lay down and rub them gently to soften muscle. I just wear sports bras. Closed front ones are starting to irritate in between boobs. I'm going to try a pull over one tomorrow. I've had some bruising, not much though. How am I taking care of wounds...? I shower, make sure sutures are completely dry before putting on bra. I still have tape on incisions. If a piece is lifting, I cut off the none sticky piece and just add another piece on top. I do not rip off tape. I don't want to tear off healing skin.

Before and after. One week after surgery.


Day 4 post op

Feeling good. Was able to shower day after surgery. I'm already off the Norcos. I'm on Tylenol extra strength every 6 hours. Was able to change some of the tape last night after shower. I am able to lift arms just not lift. I slept without a bra the other night. I feel better sleeping with one. I get weird sensations in my boobs every now and again. Not painful. Still have swelling. So glad I made this choice! All the waiting I did was worth it!

I had my breast reduction July 18th 2017. Dr. Lynne Hackert was AMAZING. I love how she is upfront and to the point. Love her sense of humor and her no BS. Her work is wonderful! I had very little bruising ( I mean very little, like a sliver). I had no "pain". Some discomfort yes, but not painful. Every appointment with her is a joy. I would definitely recommend her.
