I was so glad to see this video! I think my journey has been very similar to yours. I am much older, at 66 and I just thought it was my age but I did not feel comfortable driving until three weeks, and then just short distances with my mommy pillow. I drove once at two weeks and besides the pain, I just felt like my head was still foggy. I stopped the Tramadol at day five but I just couldn’t seem to focus enough to read or feel safe driving until week three. The nerve pain has been the biggest surprise. So many other women denied having much pain but I told my doctor that I was having frequent bouts of pain that felt like someone had imbedded a rope with razor blades, punched a hole in the side of my breast and pulled it through to the other side. He just chuckled and asked when I was starting my novel. 😡 Anyway, the pain has mostly subsided now that I’m almost at four weeks post-op with just the sunburn feeling around the bottom incisions and areolae and occasional sharp twinges in my nipples, like someone is twisting them. I’m not a baby when it comes to pain but this was intense. I have also had two big and two small openings in my incisions that I am still nursing. I’m glad I had the surgery but I wish I had known about some of these things so I could prepare.
Congratulations on your surgery! There is a sub on Reddit for reductions and it was the only place I saw a lot of people talk about their experience in depth. I'm almost at 6 months and I have to say the nerve pain reduces to only once in a while thankfully.
Thanks for watching! So I am not too sure what my exact size was before surgery because they were growing so much and I stopped buying bras and was just wearing nursing bras. The last regular bra I was able to fit into a few months before was a 38 DD, and I am a 34D/36B now.
It was bad the first 5 days but it got so much better after that. Most of that time I spent sleeping so I got a break from it but it was weirdly more painful at night.

Thank you for your honesty!!! I’m seriously contemplating surgery and you have helped me. Thank you so much for all the information, very informative.
Thank you! Good luck if you do go through with it - let me know if there's any questions I can answer 🤍
Hi, Love this video. What insurance plan did you have?

How was the pain hun ?
It was bad the first 5 days but it got so much better after that. Most of that time I spent sleeping so I got a break from it but it was weirdly more painful at night.
You are so gorgeous ❤
I was told the lipo makes it more painful
Yeah it does but honestly it's manageable with pain meds and light massages in the shower.
