WORTH IT
I have always had large breasts. Chronic back pain. As a hairdresser the added weight of my breasts made my job harder and I was in pain all the time. I went from a 40 G to what I believe will be a c. I'm 15 days post op and can't tell my size just yet. I've had a few complications. Infection and fluid retention. I did not have drains.

Thank you for joining and sharing your experience with us.  You are looking good and will feel pretty back to normal at about 30 days post op.  That was my turning point in the healing process.  Other than the horrid itching all went pretty well.  As soon as you are given the go from your doctor, please start massaging with the organic coconut oil.  It makes a big difference with the itching, shaping and scar therapy.

Finally getting relief from the infection!!!

natvinson
I did not get drains , I wish I had because these little under arm boobs are ridiculous. Today I managed to not feel sick, and the redness seems to be calming down and my swelling or baby boob I call them under my underarms are starting to go down. My surgeon says if by nov 11 my body has not absorbed the fluid he will drain them with a needle. Totally loving my small boobs!!! Noticed under my left breast the skin is coming off. Nurse says because of the fever I had and infection this is normal healing. I swear I've been taking antibiotics forever!!

Going back to work tomorrow

After all the infection, I'm happy to say I get to go back to work for a few hours. My swelling has gone down a lot and I think I should manage a few hours. Still on antibiotics but I am ready to get out of this house!!! I've pulled a few stitches by trying to get some housework done. Hoping that work won't be an issue. I am a hairstylist and have my arms raised a majority of the day. I'm going to try and do some Halloween makeup on myself. Weird have not worn makeup really since the day before my surgery !!! I'm making my daughter Harley Quinn! Should be fun! I'll post pics tomorrow!
