Hi leannexxx
I’m 17 days Post op and I have exactly the same thing! My nipples are really swollen and puffy, specially around the outside, and my left one is still numb . I’m walking around looking like a right tart! ha! Hopefully they’ll go down soon, my bf doesn’t seem to mind though! I was thinking about getting some of those sticky nipple things too. Probably pop into superdrug/boots and grab some. Can’t face going back to work looking like im smuggling peanuts! xx
Yes!! I hate my torpedo nips and they dont go hard to cold or *tweaks* either!!
How come you cant wear a bra?? xx
i still have mahoooosive nipples and im 10 weeks post opp, they only started contracting to cold around the 7 week mark xx
ooh good not just me then. i went into boots today but couldnt seem to see any, any idea what section theyll be in?? did wana ask anyone either so left it haha surgeon told me not to wear a bra for 6 weeks as i went under the muscle, think in a week ill go and attempt to buy an ugly sports bra xx
God I haven’t got a clue, couldn’t see any on boots website but I found these on Amazon & La Senza so I might have to order them. Just hope my nipples aren’t too big for them, they’re huge at the moment! :S

but got a feeling as soon as my skin gets a bit hot under them theyll fall off, used to have a bra bit like it. we shall see, if there rubbish ill just order some fabric ones
xx
Im almost 14days post op but my nipples are extremely sensitive still. When i go in the shower as soon as the water hits them OMG, al i have to do is brush my arm past them with clothes on and they have a huge tingley feeling. Its mad how sensitive they r .
Has anyone else experiencd this?xxx
Im almost six weeks po and still have this too lol!! Xx
mine arnt really that sensitive, every now and then they feel astho there hurtin a little if i catch them on clothes or my arm. im just so fed up of swollen nips haha other than that im well happy
hard trying to find clothes to wear with them like this atm coz i cant wear a bra to hide them xx
is there nothing that can be done about this, ice packs or tablets anything lol back at work tomoz trying to figure out wot the hell i can do to stop them showing so much, maybe ill end up cellotaping them down haha!!
Hey girls, I’m pre op but I’ve got the sticky nipple concealers by Eylure – I think I got them on Amazon. They’ve worked well when not wearing a bra and it gets cold! Xx
yeah might have to purchase some of those if the ones ive ordered arnt good. are the eylure ones bugger than the nipple area, coz i need something to squash the areoal lol
im also producing milk which apparently is normal as something in theres being squashed and squeezing it out, i find this weird tho as ive never been pregnant so wouldnt of thought id of had any milk in there…any1 else had this?!?!? x
just had a wee read over this post lolol quite funny talking about the big nips haha. I don’t seem to have this prob yet
I will need to ask my nurse tomoro at my 1 week check up! One of them is very sore when I touch it tho.
P.S Leanne I would have got a fright if I started producing milk lol a wld b sayin aw great av spent 4k getting big boobs + now am pregnant nooo haa so thanks a won’t freak out if this happens lol xx
