Day 5 post op boobs are still extremely hard and tight I'm starting to worry

Hi there
Day 5 post op my boob are feeling extremely tight and hard especially at the bottom.
I’m starting to worry I have Capsular Contracture.
Is this feeling normal?

Thanks

Day 4&5 were the worst for me I genuinely couldn’t even sit up in bed without 2 people helping me i was in so much pain,
Every ache, tightness and worry is natural that early on, it should all start to get better in the next few days!xx

I’m 5dpo too and mine are solid, tight, hard, and up under my neck! I’m waiting til 1 week to take another picture, I’m not worried as it seems normal from everything ive read x

Hi I’m 6dpo now. Yesterday my boobs were exactly the same as you described and I was in tears. I couldn’t take it anymore but yet I forced myself to at least get sort of dressed and walk to the park with my kids who are 7&9. I did 10 very slow laps around the park and it felt nice to get some fresh air and move my legs. I thought I would regret it when I woke up this morning but it has helped me and my left boob feels totally healed. I’m still shifting on my bum though to get off the settee which I’ve slept on since day one since I can’t sleep at all in bed! I’ve walked a bit further today and I’ve even just managed to get my car bacK!! Take everyday as a step at a time and if possible try and do a bit more than the previous day. I honestly didn’t think it was going to get any better but I’m a mardy bum but to my surprise it has and I’m looking forward to what tomo brings ???? all the best lovie xx

Hey Hun I am 10 dpo and day 5 was the worse for me so tight hard and cud hardly breathe now I feel bck to normal like i havnt even had them done x x

It’s completely normal it does get easier I’m 12 days po and able to do everything other than lift heavy or lay flat xx

@Liv it’s completely normal (it was for me anyway) The first 10days were a complete writeoff for me. It’s all normal, just chill and enjoy doing nothing. Xx
