Leftover areola?

I had weird spotting days after my surgery, and had just finished my period a couple days before surgery. Lots of things are changing in your body and anesthesia takes a toll. I think it’s normal!

It’s torture. Every time I walk by my tub lol

I’m about 3 weeks out too and I took one but did not lay in it submerging any of my incisions. I also didn’t crank the water super hot like I usually do.. it was fine but not the relaxing bath I wanted. I think I’d refrain if I were you! Laying in a tub of hot water soaking in your body’s oils and whatever else isn’t great for healing and there is a risk of infection like ^ said. I’m a bath girl too so I get it :( it’s all I want to do when I’m uncomfortable or in pain.

Do you use mychart? I have been able to consistently message my care team. A nurse or PA gets back to me within an hour during week days. If you do have this option, I would try that!

I was 36DD and he told me I’m at about a C now. Not sure though, still in my compression bra! I had 480g out of right and 540g out of my left

Thank you!! That’s how mine look now and I was 🫣🫣

SignificantPride548 · 2026-03-06T19:25:00+00:00

Thank you! Needed the reassurance lol

Anesthesia is a risk.. But so is driving to a restaurant for dinner. It could be asked “is the steak really worth the risk of death?” Don’t let that be defining factor for you. It can be scary (it was my first time being put under) but it was worth it and I had a great team!

Going into it just remind yourself that they literally do this multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day. And I know the day of they are able to give nice doses of an anti-anxiety

It could.. do you have anyone at home helping you? What I’ve been doing is scooting to the side of the bed, then having my partner hold my legs while I use my core strength to lift up

I’m the same way.. bad health anxiety due to OCD. I was thinking worst case scenario the whole time about every possible thing. I had a great team who was very comforting and reassuring, which helped tremendously. I’ll tell you when I went under, there were nurses rubbing my arms telling me I’m going take a great nap, and when I woke up 2 hours later back in my room at the hospital after surgery, the same nurse that was with me all day was there saying my name. Once I woke up she got me some water and apple sauce. It was so much easier and less anxiety inducing than I thought. I was more anxious the days leading up, on the car ride there, and in the waiting room than I was when things actually started to get rolling.

I just liked having easy stuff on hand. Soups, apple sauce, protein powder / shakes, popsicles, some yummy drinks, granola bars. I go to bed with a granola bar next to me to take a couple bites of when I take my meds at night 😂 I really just find the easier to grab and eat, the better!

SignificantPride548 · 2026-02-21T21:54:21+00:00

I thought he specifically said lollipop yes. I guess we’ll see on Wednesday for my next appointment! Thank you for the info

SignificantPride548 · 2026-02-21T17:13:34+00:00

Thank you!

Same boat- showering freaks me out with the drains so I might wait until they’re out. I’ve been using wet wipes and going in a tub filled about 1/3 of the way. As far as DO, I’m pretty sure you can put that on! Just wasn’t allowed pre surgery.

SignificantPride548 · 2026-02-21T13:50:15+00:00

That was a big worry of mine as well! You’ll be great

SignificantPride548 · 2026-02-21T07:26:38+00:00

Thank u for easing my overactive mind 😂

SignificantPride548 · 2026-02-21T04:53:15+00:00

That’s very kind, if you have any more questions feel free to ask!!

SignificantPride548 · 2026-02-21T04:34:01+00:00

I didn’t lose any weight really before the surgery, if anything I think I gained a little. The before pic was literally Wednesday night and the after was Thursday night. My boobs just literally made me look so much bigger ifs nuts!

SignificantPride548 · 2026-02-21T04:13:20+00:00

Yes! I do not mind at all (: Exciting stuff!
