It has now been two weeks! I had the final bandages removed two days ago! Everything appears to be healing well and looks promising!
I went shopping for the first time for some bras. I have to return to work on Monday and felt that the zip up sport bras were not going to work with many of my work attire. I fit into a D bra without any underwire but still had some support. I dug our this bras (see photo) I had ordered from Knixwear. Its a Canadian company and the bras are super comfortable, sweat proof and odor proof! They can also convert the straps and have some stretch. I would encourage any getting this bra! I think it’s great and I will continue to use it once I have recovered!
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Today is the tenth day since my BR! Ive been doing pretty well, but often take advantage of when I’m feeling good to over do it!
I have my last visit to the nurse on Monday to have the final strips around my nipple and t-incision removed. Then I will be able to shower properly!
Ive gotten a small muscular hemotoma.. I thinks that’s spelt right! It’s very tender and it is hard from the pocket of blood under the skin! The nurse said that it is nothing to worry about unless it appears to be spreading.
Ive been using abdominal pads under my incisions for comfort and any excess drainage. Works better than the allergic adhesive that I had on before. In between visits to the nurse, ive been changing my gauze as needed and applying antibacterial cream to help with the healing process. It seems to be helping!
Some of the strips came off yesterday at the nurse and the adhesive is very sticky and strong. I used some rubbing alcohol to get the adhesive off my skin with a sterile gauze.
Pain is minimal. It’s only when I over exert myself that I feel any pressure of tenson. I still find driving to be a challenge. Especially for extended periods of time!
Will update again once I get the strips off!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Congratulations and you look great! I personally encourage any one who is looking to have a reduction to not be afraid but go ahead and get it done. I had mine done April 23rd and I am more than happy I got it done. I sleep better, I don’t have my giant breasts literally chocking me when I sleep on my back or sides any more. It’s a life changing experience. I am healing quite well. I looked up the site you bought your bra and I ordered the Evolution bra which is a post-surgery bra and I’m yet to try it. I have a question for you. Did your breasts look slightly square shaped 3 days after? Did you have more swelling on your outer breast close to your armpit? I hope you feel much better healing and pain wise!

Hey! The evolution bra is amazing! :)
On day 3 I started to notice more swelling and bruising! My left breast felt bigger than my right because it had more bruising and swelling! I did find the closer to my armpit more tender and I suspect this is because the drains were inserted there and were removed from that spot as well. I was permitted to ice my breasts and I did this nightly! I would use a gel ice pack or a bag of crushed ice! It definitely helped with pain and swelling!
Today is day 16 since surgery and I have started exercising again. I am still trying to limit my stretching and reaching for things! But I am doing great. My breasts did appear square at first to me, but once the swelling went down a bit the shape and in!
Hope you are healing well! Sounds like this was a great decision for you!
