30 days post - All is well but I have a question

All seems to be well - breasts are settling for sure. Went to my first spin class since surgery today and it was fine but still tender. Definitely not up for serious weight bearing workouts but I think I can manage spin. I bought a wireless padded bra two weeks ago at target and I've been wearing it for about 10 days straight. It's an ugly bra and I'm itching to buy more. Is it too early to buy nice expensive bras yet? Am I the size I'll be in a few months? Should I hold off on buying nice bras?

Well things have been rather uneventful - I've just been healing and trying to get my groove back. My MIL came to help me so she's been doing all of the heavy lifting and I've just been managing the household and trying to recover. I had two surgeries, the umbilical hernia and the BA. But today I noticed that I have mondor's cord under both breasts. I have noticed pain when I stretch and just realized today when looked in the mirror that I'm pretty sure I have them. Left a message for my PS but he hasn't called me back. From what I've read, it's rather benign and of no concern, so I'm not going to worry about it. Does anyone have any feedback about this?
Here are some new pics (although none of the mondors cord. Still feel too big to me, but I'm sure I'll get used to them. Can't wait till they drop into a more natural shape.

I think you are looking really good. Just remember it can take over three months to have your final results. Happy healing.
What is a mondor cord?
November 20, 2014
Mondor's cord is a protrusion that looks sort of like a cord under my breasts, and it happens when I stretch or raise my arms up. Seems a lot of women on here get them and they resolve themselves with time. They are a tiny bit painful but I haven't found the need to treat them at all. I'll post a pic. It's a bit gruesome with the incision and bruising.

You look wonderful!! Look how much they've settled already. That's great. For a good view of how much they can change later, check my last post with the progression pic. There is a huge change in shape from three months to one year. Much more natural as time moves on. And you look much better than I did at the point where you are now. I'm happy for you that you have help. And yes, you're correct to tell your PS about the Mondors cords. He will most likely just say to take something if it's painful, but time is all they need. I've found on this forum that they seem to occur far more than people expect. You're doing great! Thanks for updating us.
