Im 3 weeks post op, i was a 44 M before br, now i am a C/D cup now, still swollen.had 2.1 kilograms on left side which equals 4.69 lbs and 2.3 kilograms on right side which equals 5.070 lbs removed adds up to almost 10 lbs of boobs removed, and I had a free nipple areola graft. I am very tight on top of my chest, but i did not have any leaking, bleeding or bruising, i had my post op appt. And was cleared to wear any bra, as long as it is cotton and no under wires. I just bought a genie bra and it has thin removable pads in it i absolutely love it the pads protect my nipples because they are so sensitive.

I am in absolute awe of the amount you had taken away and how amazing they look -it is a complete transformation! How long did you stay in, how was pain management? I am going from 32J to a C/D, which will only be a couple of pounds total! Respect!

Thank you mthev, i was supposed to be a outpatient, but i was in a lot of pain in recovery, i think i was in shock, so they kept me overnight for observation and gave me strong pain medicine through my i.v. All night, it really calmed me down and i was ok to go home, i think that much being removed is a shock to your system, after that i was on percocet and then Tylenol, pain really wasnt that bad, you just feel uncomfortable, and emotional, depressed, i think I've broken up with my boyfriend 3 times in 3 weeks, lol, so tell your loved ones it's not them it's gonna be your hormones,

I can't believe 10 LBS of breast tissue! Wow you must feel so much lighter. You are looking good. I also love the Genie bra. It is the only thing I can't wear. Hope your recovery continues to go well.

Today i am 4 weeks post op, im healing great, but i have become more swollen than usual the last couple days, the stitches on the outside are gone, but they feel tighter on the inside, i cant make any reaching movements, they feel as if they are ripping.**update* the genie bras i bought suck, if you are plus size they are not for you, the band does not lay flat they flip up and bunch up right under your breast, i bought a bally bra and it feels great, i also have been using palmers cocoa butter cream and vitamin e oil, to keep them from not feeling dry.

Healing really well, when i do too much, they let me know, i start to get really tight and the inside stiches start to feel like rope under my skin, i cheated a couple of times and slept a couple of hours without my bra, but somehow when i put it back on it feels so much better, i also can now sleep on my stomach for awhile.
