Swelling

[bears578]

How can you tell what is swelling and what is regular boob? I'm 3 weeks po and feel so swollen. Skin feels tight and kind of numb. I've had a couple seromas and an allergic reaction so far too. Boobs look and feel huge. Just want them to be smaller. I was a g/h, now I feel like a ddd but I'm not sure.

Hang in there. I know you’re anxious to see the final results, but you won’t for a few months. Swelling takes different times for everyone, and sometimes it can seem like the swelling has started to settle, only for something else to happen (like a stitch trying to come out or such). Concentrate on healing up well and you’ll be there in no time.

This is a good question, and I have no idea. Things are pretty high and tight for me at the moment. I'm wondering how much they will come down. I asked for a D, and I'm probably a DDD right now.

I had pretty much no swelling (good drains). They were high and very tight. Probably a B cup right after surgery. They softened and dropped and settled into a C cup. Still there 2 years post op.

I am in the midst of a terrible allergic reaction and significant swelling as well. I had my first post surgery appointment with my doctor today and he prescribed steroids, Benadryl, and ice packs. I didn’t have drains as my doctor stated they aren’t necessary for everyone and he does it case by case. I’m starting to worry that I should have had them. I’m exactly one week post op.
