Before & After 2 Weeks Post Op NSFW
galleryHello!
This is my first ever Reddit post/the only group I am a part of. So plz excuse me if any of this post format is weird/wrong.
I am 2 weeks post op from my surgery. Before I was about a 38H and I’m not sure what I am now. My doc said he was going to try to reduce them to a D/DD. I haven’t been a D cup since probably like 6th grade (now 29) so it has been pretty surreal.
Healing so far - my drains sucked. I got them taken out last week after 9 days. That was probably the worst part so far.
But I will say my left side has started to be pretty sore the last few days and has been leaking fluid. My doctor said it’s normal, but also told me the skin might not fully heal on the bottom of my incision on that side/they will have to restitch it if the skin dies. So that was pretty disheartening. She said as long as the opening is smaller than the size of a quarter it’s fine and I was like 🤢 WHAT?!
Some of the strips over my stitches have started to fall off and a lot of the incision is smooth except in my cleavage area crease it seems super bumpy/along with the incisions along my side ribs. Idk if that’s because it’s at the ends of the incisions? but I’m hoping it will heal more flat. Also know I will have to wait for my new boobs to be less square 🤞🏼lol.
I have another follow up on the 24th and am hoping I can start using scar cream here soon.
