27 Year Old 38H Need a Breast Reduction! - Washington

Everything is going really well, except for this weird hole in my right incision. I think it was a blister from the tape. Last week I noticed it, so I put a band-aid over it before reapplying tape. I was expecting it to be healed when I took the band-aid off a week later but it looks the same, and was still a little moist (gross I know). It seemed to dry up after being exposed to the air for a bit. So I'm thinking I shouldn't put more tape on, but I'm worried about my incisions either opening or stretching if I don't tape them. Also, one of my dissolvable stitches is popping out from my incision around my right nipple. But other than those two things everything is going really well. My bruising is gone, a lot of swelling has gone down but I can still definitely feel some swelling in the center of my boobs.

I finally changed my tape today so I thought I'd upload a couple pictures. There was one little spot about an inch below my nipple that was leaking a little bit of clear liquid when I removed the tape, but it might have just been a tape blister. I stuck a band-aid over that spot before reapplying tape. Overall I think they are looking pretty good for two weeks post op!

Today is my two week boob anniversary! I was finally able to sleep on my side last night, and I feel great. My surgeon has been telling me I could sleep in my side from day 1, but it just hurt too much any time I tried. I woke up this morning and my boo s were a tiny bit sore, but nothing compared to how badly my back has been hurting when I wake up from sleeping on it.

My surgeon said to leave the tape on until it fell off, and then put more on to help keep the scars from widening. It's been kind of frustrating, because I want to look at the incisions. I tried taking the tape off my nipple while in the shower the other day, but it made me feel really light headed and woozy, so I guess it's best to keep it on after all.

I haven't been taking any pain killers and have been feeling really good the last couple days. My boobs are starting to feel softer, but are still pretty dang swollen. I bought a Bali comfort revolution wire free bra from macys the other day, and fit perfectly into a 38dd. I almost cried because I was shopping in the regular section and every bra I tried on fit me. After my swelling goes down I might end up at a d, which would be awesome, but I'd be just fine with dd also.
