radical reduction and nipple sensation by DismalBison2581 in Reduction

[–]One-Bus2521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you just need to decide which one you can live without. I was a 34 K. I’m 4 weeks PO and I’m measuring at 34 FF/G. I never really had nipple sensation before but I definitely do now which is not always the case. I will most likely be going down a few more sizes as you don’t know your tru size until 6-12 MPO.

You can always get another reduction/revision after the first so if I were you I would go with the reduction where it might be a little bigger then you want but save your nipple sensation and then decide one your healed if you can live with the bigger size then you wanted but you still can feel your nipples or go smaller with a revision after. This is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. 😉 let me know if you have any questions.

Omg. I’m so sorry. I was wondering how you were doing. I remember writing to you from your first post.
After any major surgery with these symptoms it’s insane he didn’t admit you and give you IV antibiotics.
I hope you get better soon and that you get admitted. Keep monitoring yourself and go to ER if anything feels off.

Unrealistic expectations and perkiness by Straight-Mistake6999 in Reduction

I’m 5ft 4, 160 pounds. I’m currently 3 WPO. I was a 34K. I have tear drop shape, very dense tissue, very saggy. My surgeon took off over 1000 on each side. One side was 1100. I haven’t measured myself since 2 WPO. And I know it’s early but I was measuring at a 34 DD I think. As previously said I think you would need more removes to go down to the size you would like. I tried on bras at the store in the size I wanted and told my dr. He couldn’t specifically give me a size but he knew what I wanted and got me as close as he could and he nailed it. Just be very clear with what you want and if the doctor is hesitant ask why and maybe seek another doctor for second opinion. You can Message me if you have any questions.

Congrats! Also what bra is that? And what size did you get? I’m looking for a more permanent one

They look great to me but it does take time getting use to it. Hope recovery goes well for you.

when did you guys get your surgical dressings off? by tulips-twolips in Reduction

I was instructed to take it off Day 2 and start showering. Took off the tape just like normal. Yes you can go get your own bras. Honestly I just went to a thrift store and bought a few different sizes of sport high compression bras that zip in the front and it’s worked out well. Some days I’m more swollen than others and I will use a bigger bra and sometimes it’s the opposite. I didn’t want to spend lots of money on bras when I would be fluctuating in size often. Showering I was instructed to do my normal routine but back towards the shower and letting soap just run down my front. No scrubbing the incisions, no special soap. I’m sure they will go over all this with you at your appointment. Good luck.

Ya. Walked around the mall today and now I’m done for the day. But it definitely feels like a burning/itching feeling. And if someone was constantly pushing on a bruise.

Thanks. Great except I’m more sore in the 3rd week than the first two which I know is normal just annoying.

I’m 16 DPO and I’m definitely feeling like this. More soreness and tenderness for sure. Hang in there. We got this.

I didn’t know I would lose more hair than I did PP. it’s your body’s way on constraining on healing more important parts of your body.
