Welcome back! It’s been 1 week and can I just say.. what a roller coaster of feelings. Let’s begin with the day after surgery.. I felt almost ZERO pain. I thought… could this be the anesthetic still lingering? Are these super powerful pain meds? Do I have super powers? In conclusion, it was probably all of the above in conjunction with Dr. Kim Ji Min’s gentle hands to feel no immediate suffering even though I felt like a walking mummy. By the end of the second day, there was this odd discomfort in one of the breast, but it wouldn’t last long and would get instant relief when I applied some pressure. I went into the clinic for a 3 day follow up with a different doctor and said everything looks to be healing good and took off the bandages. It was still recommended to wear the surgical bra. Then I went into an oxygen chamber for a few minutes. Studies have shown that it helps and promote the healing process. Between days 3 and 7, my nipples started to have a burning/stinging sensation. I had no idea what was going on. It became difficult to sleep days 5-7 because the blanket touching my breast became painful. After googling a few hours, it appears that the nerves are rebuilding itself after surgery and it is VERY common. Before my experience, I’ve read a lot of people getting losing sensation, but not this. I told the doctor about my experience and she reassured this is normal and is a good sign and recommended getting a nipple patch. I immediately got the reusable silicone patches at Olive Young and felt immediate relief. I’ve been sleeping with them ever since. Breasts are feeling softer near the top, still a little tender underneath where the suture tape is because the bra was rubbing against my skin. I’m still bruised on the top but it doesn’t bother me much. Otherwise, it feels amazing to shower! I’m liking the result so far. What do you think?
