Title: Still have boobs?
Post by: raider415 on January 10, 2007, 03:04:34 PM

Ok I'm about a month post op and I have boobs still. They are smaller but there they are. I am still wearing the compression vest and in the morning my chest and nipples are flat, by the end of day day they are swollen again. Is this swelling that will eventually go away or is it really here to stay. I can wear a compression vest for the rest of my life. I should mention I had a hematoma on the left side that was drained but it was quite swollen for about 2 weeks.

Thanks

Dr. Law in Kitchener and it was lipo and excision. I see him Jan 22nd. I'll ask him then I just wanted to get the boards opinion on whether I should be worried or not.

Thanks

I know it seems like a long time, but a month post op is still early in the game with gyne surgery recovery.  Be patient for another month or two, then you can make a better judgement on your results.   I found that transitioning to a compression t-shirt instead of the vest made my recovery life much more tolerable.  ;)

I agree.

Good luck and be patient.
