I am just over 3 weeks post op and so unbelievably happy with my results.
I am in no pain at all. Stopped my medication two weeks ago. Not even needing panadole.
Sleeping is fine. Able to sleep on my side now. Sometimes wake up slightly uncomfortable but not really an issue.
Boobs are a little tight in the morning but nothing terrible. They have softened up so much. Can push them together and squish them now.
So happy with my results. Dr. Tavakoli is really an amazing PS.
Goodluck to all those getting it done soon.

Yay! You look amazing! How are you feeling now? I'm 9 days post this morning I noticed a huge purple bruise on the under of my right boob I can't feel any pain though whatsoever. I'm back at work tomorrow I've definitely gotten used to lazing in bed all day it will be a struggle! X

Thanks so much! Feeling so much better. I've now passed the two week mark and am back at work. Right breast is almost completely pain free. I have nerve damage in the left one so that still hurts quite a lot. I find if I put my shoulders down there is no pain, but as soon as I pull my shoulder blades back, I get a shooting pain from the side running down to the bottom of my breast. I am seeing my PS on Friday for my 2 week checkup. So exciting! How are you feeling?

Day 10 - Update
Katie MeansSeptember 25, 2015
Feeling good today. No meds. Still resting. Heat on my shoulders is so good. Thank you to ladies who recommended it. Haven't tried driving yet. Is day 10 too early? Don't want to do anything that will bring back any pain. Is anyone else roughly over a week pre-op? If so, how are you feeling? The only pain I can feel today is on my actual incision. When I press on the stitch the pain is really bad. I can feel it semi out of my skin. I will get the dressing off next week so hopefully all is ok. It seems strange to keep the tape on the stitches for two weeks with showering and everything. Hopefully there is no infection under the tape when I take it off.

Katie you are looking fantastic. Ah ha! the heat on the shoulders! I'm so glad... I'm about to do the same. TBH re: driving... I don't really recommend it at day 10. I was doing it and as I was doing it I knew it was a bad idea. There's something about pulling the steering wheel down in either direction that engages your arms & pecs and it's not great. Give it another few days if you can. I feel OK driving now (15 days post) but yeah, if you can avoid it a bit longer, do.
So it's great that you only have pain on the incision sites... I've been feeling quite good today but still find by nightfall I'm all tender and achy on the boobs, across the sternum and around my ribs. I pretty much always HAVE to change bras at about 7pm just to try and change the pressure points slightly. Honestly I don't know why and sometimes I wonder if it's taking me longer than everyone else to get through each phase of recovery but I seem to get there eventually so I try not to stress about it.
Oh and speaking of not stressing - I wouldn't worry about your dressings or infection. Your PS wouldn't give you dodgy advice and he must find that gets the best results for his patients otherwise he'd change it up :)

Hi girls i just drove my car for the first time today. Wow felt a bit weird but i do feel i have to do things now on my own, well i dont have a choice anyway.
I think we all think oh god i hope there is no infection underneath. As long as you try and eat really good foods and have your immune system on top the better and quicker the healing less chance of infection :)

Thanks so much. You do too! Feeling so much better today. Rest really did make the difference. Haven't driven yet but will next week. Still icing :) Hope you are doing well

Hey girly I am at day 11 post and am feeling much better. I have been driving to work this week, but I'm being very careful with driving. I was using the bottom of the steering wheel and shifting the wheel to make turns so that I make no big movements. My PS is very serious about no full arm extension so I'm just being super careful in how I turn the wheel if that makes sense. If you can take more time, do it! I mean rest is important to the healing process. I'm glad that you are feeling good!

Hey Alana. Thanks so much. I'm day 11 today too and feeling so much better than the last few days. Rest really did make the difference. I haven't driven yet but will next week. Glad you're feeling well and thanks for the comment
I'm so glad it's heating up now so you can show off you new ladies ;)
