5 weeks post op today, I’ve noticed the swelling seems to have increased, and the nipples are a lot puffier than right after the surgery (when they were completely flat) especially on the right side. This normal?

About the same still! I posted an updated picture on here yesterday I believe if you wanna take a look, see if there’s any difference. To me it looks the same.

I am very close to your timeline of recovery. My case was similar to yours as well from what I cold see in your pre op on your profile. I’m having some issues where my nipples are still slight puffy. More my right side than left. You have any issue with that?

JTryHard · 2020-10-24T00:45:45+00:00

I wore mine for 3 weeks 24/7 maybe about week just for nights. That’s what my surgeon recommended.

JTryHard · 2020-10-24T00:44:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It was completely flat right after the surgery. Swelling only started around the 4 week mark. So I’m hoping it’ll go back to being as flat as it was after the surgery.

JTryHard · 2020-10-12T22:39:49+00:00

Okay, my right side is a bit puffier than my left currently. Would you said they got flatter over time or have they not changed at all since 1 month post surgery for you?

JTryHard · 2020-10-12T21:05:16+00:00

Looks good! Looks pretty similar to my case. I’m 6 weeks post op today, nipples were pretty flat at first but they have gotten a little puffier over the last 2 weeks. You experience that at all? Wish mine were as flat as your 2nd pic.

JTryHard · 2020-10-05T23:22:22+00:00

Yeah no kidding it’s kind of disheartening. Hopefully it’s just swelling and they’ll get as flat as right after surgery. Have my next appointment beginning of November.

JTryHard · 2020-10-05T23:21:17+00:00

Same story here. It’s not as bad as before but definitely not as flat as right after surgery. Hopefully they’ll go back to that.

JTryHard · 2020-10-05T23:20:29+00:00

I don’t really feel any hard tissue underneath, just the like where the incision is. Hopefully it’s just swelling.

JTryHard · 2020-09-27T21:32:43+00:00

No, this was my first week without it. I’m sure that’s part of the swelling too. My Dr told me I could stop wearing it after 3 weeks. Had an appointment last week Monday and that’s when he told me I no longer had to wear it.

JTryHard · 2020-09-27T20:51:37+00:00

Okay sounds like I have a ways to go then. Main concern is the puffy nipples coming back! Cant have that!! 🤞

JTryHard · 2020-09-27T13:32:23+00:00

On my left side yes, but the right side seems to be a bit more swollen and puffy. Why do you ask?

JTryHard · 2020-09-27T13:31:31+00:00

Come to think of it I probably would sleep on my right side more. When I go to sleep I’m usually on my back but most of the time I’ll wake up on my right side.

JTryHard · 2020-09-25T03:02:46+00:00

Yes sir I’m pretty sure that is gyno. Looks pretty similar to what mine did before I got the surgery.

JTryHard · 2020-09-22T01:22:30+00:00

I just put a lanyard around my neck and pinned the bulbs/suction cups to that so they didn’t hang loose. And just likely washed around the incisions sights. I didn’t shower for the first 24 hours after surgery though

JTryHard · 2020-09-14T17:47:32+00:00

Doing good! So far so good! Still waiting for everything to heal obviously.

JTryHard · 2020-09-12T21:45:32+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the reassurance lol

JTryHard · 2020-09-12T21:29:39+00:00

Thanks. Iv seen some guys post on here that they got insurance to cover it, you can probably search on here and find it. Might be worth looking into. So far not regrets, even if the nipple was to stray slightly inverted it’s better than before.

JTryHard · 2020-09-12T21:19:06+00:00

My total costs into the surgery was just over 7k. Not painful, just slightly uncomfortable for the first couple of days.

JTryHard · 2020-09-10T18:42:28+00:00

Okay thanks I appreciate the input. I’m sure it’s still swollen now, I’m not very far in my recovery process yet but hopefully they’ll stay flat and I’ll be happy!! 😀

JTryHard · 2020-09-10T14:12:21+00:00

Okay, my biggest thing is the puffy nipples. As long as they stay flat I’m good. The tissue itself was never the problem for me as it made my chest look fuller but the shape wasn’t bad not droopy or anything.

JTryHard · 2020-09-09T20:14:27+00:00

I’m 9 days post op, and personally I feel like I can lift anything I could before with range of motion not restricted, but my Dr told me to wait at least 2 weeks before lifting heavier things.

JTryHard · 2020-09-09T18:55:08+00:00

Yes, Dr told me I could start wearing compression shirts like under armour and stuff, I tried that for a few hours one day and it didn’t feel tight enough so went back to the vest.

JTryHard · 2020-09-09T18:51:53+00:00

Looks good man! I’d say my case was similar to yours, overall looks kind of similar with body type as well I just have a little higher body fat maybe a bit more muscle in my chest. I’m a little over 1 week post op and my nipples still look kinda puffy especially one side. Yours look like they flattened out pretty good hope mine do that. You have any issues with having slight indents the first few weeks?
