Hello just updating my journey. Overall things are healing and looking nice. I finally got infection on my right side all cleared. I been hitting the gym aince the beginning part of January. Its crazy how much more I can do without my old breast. I still have a few things that hurt like quickly rolling over in my bed but I can lay on my side and can tolerate laying on my stomach for small amount of time now. The sensation in nipples hasn't really returned ???? but I can deal with it if its permanent. Here are a few updated pictures.

Hello everyone I am sorry it has been so long didn't even know ao much time had passed. I am starting to feel a lot better still have some trouble with reaching up for things and I am reall sore after a long day. I am still wearing my sports bra 24/7. When take off bra they get tighter right away. My infection is finally healing up not really draining anything anymore. Mighty jump it's holding up better now looking forward to then heading up completely. I'm falling more in love with them in 2017.

I saw the plastic surgeon office on Thursday, I have caught an infection in the incision on my right breast. Now I noticed I have an opening in the area where bottow breast meet the incision that runs from my nipples. I am so jealous of people who have had the surgery and it's been a walk in the park I've not been away from me. A few days shy of a month and I can still barely get a shower I do anything looking forward to getting this healed and over with. I know I need to be patient but man he said I should be feeling better and about a week long over that week.

I'm sorry your healing isn't going smoothly. You are right though, may be look forward to after Christmas and into the New Year when I hope you start to feel a lot, lot brighter.
Well done for managing a smile.
What about finding even more of those lovely clothes you weren't previously able to wear.
Remember the anaesthetic can take quite some while to go from your system. At the moment your body is probably still quite active in dealing with that so the rest of your healing may be slightly slower than you'd hoped. It will happen though, your complete recovery and healing will become more rapid as the days go by.
I wish you well and look forward to more news of the new you.

You'll get there....the infection will clear and you'll be on your way. I have a couple open spots too. Taken over 3 weeks and they are almost healed over. We ladies with more meat seem to heal slower

Different day many of same issues. Daily swelling and I'm not for sure if the antibiotics are working for the infection. It seemed like it was her first but I have an increase drainage in that area again. Just can't wait to be on the other side all healed up and in love with my new boobs.

I'm still swollen too. The doctor said it'll be up to 6 months worth. I just started working this week. I'm a chef so I wasn't keen on going back too soon. I'm exhausted. Shouldn't have gone back during holiday season. I never learn lol. Hang in there my friend!

Compare how long you've been uncomfortable with having huge breast to the recovery time. It'll be a breeze. I know you feel down about it now. But you posting and venting all this and your feelings here.. Is helping someone else in so many ways. I'm proud of ya! This healing process will soon be a thing of the past. Best wishes!

I second that... this is just a few clouds before the sun. I'm dealing with scar tissue and fat necrosis now and im really sore but when asked ...I would do it again....but sooner!!!! You will be ok Shorty84
