One month post-op

WORTH IT
It's officially been a month. Everything's feeling good. My left underboob is slowly healing up at the T junction and all the other incisions are doing well. My left breast has dropped nicely, but my right one is taking a little longer. Dr. Isik told me that would be the case...but I'm reeeeeally hoping is catches up soon! Haha

2 & 3 Week Post Op Update
daneleJune 1, 2013
I had my post op appt with Dr Isik at the 2 week mark on last Weds 5/22. I'm healing well and things are looking good. There was a bit of concern over the T junction under my left breast. That one has opened up a tiny bit (see pictures), but it has a little more tension on it than the right one. So, I've been watching it and it seems to be healing up ok.
My nipples are finally healing up. Yay! Those have been the most painful part of the healing process. I'll just need to keep taping my incisions/scars and taking good care of myself and all should be well.
I'm sooooo excited to increase my activity, exercize, vacuum, dance, etc.

looking good!!! What size did you want to be? what post op bra are you wearing? I ordered 3 different brands and a couple of different sizes because Im not sure which one will work for me when swollen. What size do you think are right now?
Sorry for all the questions :)

Haha. No worries! I wanted to ve somewhere between a C and D. I'd say I'm at a D right now. Both breasts are still really firm and probably a bit swollen internally, so I reckon I'll setlle down to about a small D or large C. I'll know for sure at the 3 month mark. I didn't spend any extra money on post-op bras. My surgeon sent me home with two cotton post-op compression bras that I wore for the first two weeks. Since then, I've just worn good, supportive sports bras. That's what was recommended, and it's been comfortable as well. :)

One Week Post-Op. Everything's Aaaaallright. (new pics)

Hey all! Little post-op update: Drains came out yesterday. Incisions look good. I've been getting lots of rest, icing, catching up on tons of shows, walking more every day and feeling better and better as the days go by.
I'm down to 1-2 pain pills per day, mostly as needed for breakthrough pain. I've had barely any bruising and tge swelling has gone down quite a bit. I've added a few new pics. It's crazy to see how much they've changed already!

We had our surgeries on the same day! I didn't have drains though, but we seem pretty even as far as swelling and stuff! I went from a DDD to a smallish C! So happy, and I hope you continue healing really well and enjoy your new girls!
