One-month post-op review
Right after surgery, even though I had 280 put in, maybe because I disliked anything excessive, or because I had never had breasts like this before, when I got home and looked at my chest, it looked so big that I regretted the surgery. It was because even though it was my own body, I couldn’t get used to it. I think it was because I had never had large breasts before. Now I’m exactly satisfied. I had gained 2 kg on the day of surgery.
I rested exactly 3 days and worked from day 4, but it was hard because of muscle pain from removing accessory breast tissue and swelling The swelling came down more than expected and was so severe that even my legs became like logs. My abdomen was so swollen I couldn’t put strength into it.
From one week on, I thought, ah, this is livable! That was exactly what I felt. Until two weeks, I had unpleasant pain frequently? occasionally? But the frequency kept decreasing, and now I’m one month post-op. Maybe because I didn’t choose an excessive size, I have no minor lingering pain at all, and the nipple sensitivity has almost all gone away.
Because the tissue is softening, the inframammary fold feels different. I think I’ll have to watch this over time. Whether it’s the tissue quality or inframammary fold asymmetry..
