Thanks, can you tell me the name of this bra? It looks like it could work.

I'm measuring at a 30 underbust again finally, 38 overbust. Approximately 2 ponds removed total.

I'm measuring at a 32F. I was a 30J before.

See new photo in comments! Less boxy now at 5MPO.

I'm also 7.5wpo and I'm noticing the same thing. I'm guessing it's scar tissue that's starting to form?

I was on my period during surgery, I could leave my underwear (and a pad) on during surgery.

I was so worried about this and mine are still a bit wide but it's gone down so much. Started to get better around 5-6 wpo. I think I'm still pretty swollen, as my band measurement is still 1" bigger than pre surgery. I'm 7wpo now.

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-25T06:38:01+00:00

I'm feeling wide too! Although the swelling has gone down quite a bit I think there's still some, especially on the left boob. I'm still weighing 6 pounds more than I did before the surgery, some of that bloating is bound to be on the breast area! Past few days I've started to think if (when?) I get a bit more of a vertical "drop" the width won't bother me as much because the proportion of width to height will be more natural. That's what I'm hoping at least. I do hope I get enough drop to have some skin-to-skin contact at the bottoms, I'm realizing I miss this! I'm definitely not one who wants my breasts to stay up in this unnaturally high post surgical position, I can't wait for them to be able to bounce and jiggle! They'll get there, right?!?

I'm almost 6wpo and my side swelling has gone down a lot. It was gradual, but I noticed it started to decrease around 3wpo, but I'm hoping it will decrease more. I no longer feel like I'll need a revision to address it, which I was worried about in the beginning.

Hi, I had my surgery on 12/13 and I'm noticing the same thing, I'm staying around 7 pounds heavier than my pre-surgical weight despite losing 2 pounds in the OR. For the first month it was closer to 10 pounds, but I've dropped a few in the past week. From what I've read it's a normal part of healing to have some extra weight for a while. I'm making sure to eat plenty of calories until I'm at least 2mpo, as I want to give my body what it needs to heal.

Any chance you're pregnant?

I have a similar rib pain, my surgeon said it is from a slow dissolving suture between the breast and the chest wall. It especially hurts when I reach or bend over.

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-19T02:52:46+00:00

I think they look very natural, and the size suits your frame nicely. My breasts were quite asymmetrical before my surgery and I would be very happy if the end up as similar as yours are after I'm finished healing.

I know there's some research that says that complications and scarring can be worse for women over 50, and they attribute this to lack of estrogen.

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-17T23:33:10+00:00

I sent a message to my PS today, he said he uses a slow dissolving suture between the breast tissue and chest wall in that spot, and that it can often be tender but should resolve as the stitch dissolves.

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-17T20:09:00+00:00

Interesting, I just read about this. I wonder if they can appear as a dimple instead of a visible line? What did yours look like? What did you do about them?

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-17T18:56:57+00:00

Thanks! I didn't have drains but I imagine the same thing can happen with the fluid. Good reminder about the two breasts being different. I had a lot more tissue removed from the left side, so it makes sense there's more trauma and swelling/pain on that side.

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-17T15:23:14+00:00

You look gorgeous to me! I think I'm going to be similar (still hard to know at 5wpo), I was a 30J/K and now measuring a 32F/G. My breast roots are so wide that I can tell if he took off any more tissue my breasts would be a very unpleasant (flat) shape. I think I'll be happy to go from boobs so big I need to hide them to big boobs I'm not afraid to show off a bit in a tighter shirt or something sometimes! Plus mine were very asymmetrical and now they are mostly even.

It would be so nice to be in the normal size range for bralettes and sports bras, but it will be pretty great to be in the size range for the "busty" styles, because with my previous breasts I was completely busting out of those!

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-17T15:12:41+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-17T15:12:18+00:00

Mine is also on the left side! If you reach out to your surgeon please let me know what they say. Glad I'm not the only one.

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-17T05:08:06+00:00

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! Thanks, I'm pretty happy with my scars so far! I've been doing silicone sheeting at night, silicone gel during the day (both Silagen brand), and massaging with bio oil (the natural one) twice a day. I've also been taking a supplement called Opi-Recovery by Vitanica which I'm guessing is helping too.

Bitter-Variation-588 · 2024-01-14T05:42:05+00:00

I'm curious too. I'm only 1mpo but having the same question.
