I am almost a month PO and felt good today so wanted to share an update. I feel like im healing really well, swelling and pain and itchiness changes day by day though (and so does mood…) I have zero regrets however and simply can’t wait till im fully healed and ready to go cute bra shopping! 

picturing me now, before and then pic from day 1 PO 

This subreddit has helped me so much so im sharing some more details about my healing process. yapsesh incoming:

I had an anchor style incision. I think i measured at a G cup before and they removed roughly 400 grams from each side! week one was sore and rough. Week two itchiness started, and I had really sensitive skin at the top of my breasts. Like nerve pain almost?? at week three it has gone down a bit but still there. Sharp pains have started to come, like little zaps. The nurse told me this is normal, esp as initial swelling goes down. My energy levels are going up again and I’m back at work (I do desk work as well as textile stuff so kinda manual but no heavy stuff). I still sleep a lot, feel tired and a bit faint when move too much. I also am prone to crying lol! I was cleared to sleep on my side since day one, i was surprised my this and wasn’t able to until about day 7. It was a bit sore still but nice to at least rock onto my side for a little bit at a time. Around the two week mark i could sleep on my side for longer periods. depending on how i lay it’s quite comfortable now, but im careful not too push it. 

I’d say my diet is very average, I’m a bit broke so i still eat junk food. But I try to have as many nutritional meals as possible. Nothing too crazy, just veg, protein and some carbs. I snack on canned pineapple whenever i remember (science hasnt show real proof that it works but you never know lol)

I think the physical stress has made me more sensitive, oh well. I’m letting my body do what it needs to do!

Also, I’m blasian and tend to have dark scars that don’t fade quickly. wounds do heal quickly id say (based on piercing and tattoo knowledge, this is my first surgery though) I don’t have a history of keloid scarring nor do I remember family members having it. For the poc folks that were wondering!



24 days PO!
