WORTH IT
NO BRA. I'm still swollen but my boobs are sitting up nice & perky. I have plenty of sensation.

Stinging feeling
flattummy2016July 6, 2016
OK Ladies. I got my drains removed today. My right drain was pinching me so I was glad to get it out. I'm having a stinging /burning feeling every so often on right side near where drain was removed. It comes and goes a least a couple of times every hour. It is annoying has anyone else experience this if so any suggestions on minimizing the stinging / burning feeling. Thank you.

I don't know if the sensation you are describing is the same one I get, but when I get it I use a little soap and water to clean up and that usually soothes things. If the sensation is deeper down, I'd use cold compresses. Soap, not detergent, kills bacteria and is very gentle. If you want I can explain the history and the differences between the two products, but I won't bore you unless you ask. :)
Anyway, that is what works for me.

Hello Ladies. I got my drains removed today. The right drain was pinching me. I'm so glad to have the gone.. It didn't hurt at all getting them out. I'm still tired so I'm just taking it easy getting plenty of rest. I can't sleep on my sides 4 at leastanother week or two ???? Other than the swelling I can honestly say I love the way my breast look.. So far my breast are the same size and both of my nipples look the same. This is a D cup I have on so once the swelling goes down this brand should fit even better.

So glad to hear everything is going well so far! The first week was tough for me sleep-wise. I'm a side sleeper as well so it was tough to be on my back. I also kept three pillows behind me to boost me up so I wasn't laying completely flat. I'm a month post-op and the sleeping has gotten much better! I can sleep on my left side now...still not my right side though.

You look great! I don't like to slow down so resting might be difficult for me lol but I guess I will have to try. Hope I do as well you!

Resting is a major part of recovery and healing.. You don't want to cause yourself any pain or unnecessary swelling..

Thanks! I hear you on not wanting to slow down, but it's important to take that time off to heal. Hang in there :)

I know it's best but it's hard! My mom calls me the energizer bunny lol - she said I will have to slow down at some point. I've always been very independent and luckily my husband is very easy going and gets that!
