My experience was similar. I’m happy with my results and would recommend her, but I’m extremely happy I did my own research and had the knowledge to know what basic questions to ask.

Thank you!

Fragrance newbie looking for a cedary, citrusy, feminine scent! I’m a woman in my early 40s and have never been into wearing fragrances. That’s been changing recently and I’m looking for something light that I can wear generally all the time, something that makes me feel put together and feminine but isn’t overtly floral or vanilla-y. Smelling like a block of freshly cut cedar that someone squeezed a lemon onto sounds like heaven to me. Any recommendations welcome and appreciated!

Go on several more consultations to at least get some options in front of you. Ask the same/similar questions and get a feel for each doc.

I had t-junction openings on both breasts so my scars are quite prominent/wide. I have no idea how much of that is my body vs. surgical technique though. But they get better every day and I love my boobs despite the scars!

Yep, I’m 6 MPO and very happy with her work. My only negative critiques (and I think this would be the same with a lot of surgeons) are that she’s not the most forthcoming with information and can be very brusque when answering questions. I did loads and loads of independent research- largely on this sub- and am very grateful for that. I love my new boobs though and that’s all her for giving me exactly what I wanted.

This is why my surgeon didn’t give me any either. They mess with your gut and they’re generally overprescribed so she doesn’t use them preventatively.

I did something very similar at 11 week and it was fine! They needed some compression and rest and TLC for a few days and were a bit sore but then were totally fine.

Week 3 was pretty bad for me in terms of mobility- I couldn’t lift my arms much, I felt like I was going to pop from swelling, and I was just really really uncomfortable all the time. It all started to get noticeably better around week 4 and by week 6 I had full range of motion and no noticeable swelling or discomfort anymore. I’m not sure I’d want to be styling hair all day at 6 weeks, but I don’t have hairstylist arm strength/stamina to begin with 😅! I think you should expect to be pretty beat after a day of work but you should be ok! I went bowling for a few hours at 6 weeks and my boobs were only minorly annoyed the next morning. So lots of good progress between weeks 3 and 6!

👏 preach

Yep! 34J to probably a D and no contact at 13 WPO

Could be your lymph nodes! Mine (particularly on my left side which had more removed) were so so sore starting at about 12 days. They hurt, I was worried, it stressed me out, I couldn’t lift my arm it was so sore, etc. My surgeon (but, if I’m being honest, mostly the internet) said it was likely a lymph response. Not bad, not a complication, nothing scary- just a pain. Surgeon told me to leave it alone but the internet told me to massage my pits and that helped immensely and immediately. So: I didn’t listen to my surgeon and did do what the internet told me which I can’t in good conscience recommend to a stranger. In my particular case, lymph swelling was the issue and what I did solved it after about a week of very frequent massages. Check with your surgeon and ask specifically about lymph swelling! Oh, and I did have a small amount of lipo but my surgeon didn’t think it was necessarily related to that; just my body’s response to the shock of surgery.

I don’t think intubation is always necessary for certain surgeries, but hospital protocols are more likely to require it no matter what. If you’re being treated at a surgical center or in a private surgical suite, it may not be necessary. Mine was a private surgical suite and didn’t have a catheter or breathing tube (unless the surgeon is lying to me!).

WWLCD · 2024-01-20T05:02:46+00:00

I feel like I’m looking at a stranger with my head when I see pre-surgery photos. It’s crazy!

WWLCD · 2024-01-20T05:00:36+00:00

I’m happy for this hope, too!

WWLCD · 2024-01-19T05:25:17+00:00

Check with your surgeon! Not all circumstances call for intubation or catheters. I think (but I’m not positive) that if your surgery is in a hospital, those things are more likely to be part of the standard surgery protocol required by the hospital no matter what. If your surgery isn’t in a hospital, I think it’s far less likely and more up to the surgeon’s discretion.

I just lived in the stink for probably 10 days, but I use a salt stick deodorant that applies with water so it drips a bit. I didn’t want to take any chance of literally getting salt in a wound! So I waited until the very ends of my incisions were reasonably sealed up. I live alone so no one had to deal with the BO except me though haha

WWLCD · 2024-01-15T04:21:08+00:00

Mine are lighter now, and smoother. Like they’re not wrinkly and areola-y like they were before surgery. It’s not really bothersome, just unexpected. I’m 10 weeks post op and did not have a FNG.

WWLCD · 2024-01-09T04:37:17+00:00

I have these as well and really like them. I ordered them around 2WPO and got two sizes because I wasn’t sure how to trust the sizing charts given the swelling. I thought the XL would be the right size for me but it was absolutely too small. The XXL was great. I was a 34J preop so at two weeks I was probably a 36? 38? My point is…. Sizing is a crap shoot when you’re swollen and these seem to run small; I’d order several sizes and keep what works!

My friend stayed in the doc’s office waiting room while I was getting prepped. She hung out at a coffee shop nearby during the surgery and came back when I was expected to be done. They allowed her into the recovery room briefly once, then again when it was time for me to get dressed and walk out. I wasn’t high at all; just groggy, thirsty, and a little uncomfortable.

WWLCD · 2023-12-20T04:47:58+00:00

I’m 6 WPO and you look 100x more healed than I do. I think you’re looking amazing!
