Should they still be very tender and hard 3 weeks post op?

Hi All – I’ll be 3 weeks post op on thursday. They are loads better than what they were and seem like they are starting to drop and look alot more natural…..but they still feel quite tender…I can only describe it as though someone is rubbing shards of glass on my skin???
Not pain as such, just very irritating.
Also nipples and ends are very sensitive…..just checking this is normal.

hi im just over 17 weeks post op and my boobs are still tender and numb when you touch them .there softening slowly so dont worry your normal .can take up to a year for boobs to get back to normal.nipples still numb could get pierced and not feel it.so be patient.also i had unders xx

thank you – just paranoid cos aside from the gym i am totally back to normal..work…driving…no more check ups etc so its just remembering that they gonna take a while to settle. then i went out friday night and got trollied so paranoid in case i had knocked myself or something haha

thanks again x

Hiya leanne how you doing my boobs still tender i described it to my husband as like having sunburn and my nipples are so sensitive especially under the nipple. I’ve been back to work for the first day today and it was a killer my back was aching like mad felt like i was 60 or something lol hope your ok love leanne x

hi you – yeah am doing good thanks
i was just winding myself up cos of friday night cos i wore a supportive unlined bra (and i also had some careful bedroom antics hah) so paranoid that I had done some damage or something – its crazy!!
Nurse told me I can take bra off overnight now which is good. I got steri strips on till wednesday then thats it…

Are you using any bio oil or anything on your boobs yet – i know we cant on the scars but just wondered…

yeah sunburn….similar for me….like feels tight. i have been back to work since last monday and doing great – i occasionally knock them on the desk haha….but other than that doing great – and my big porker bloaty anaesthetic belly went down just before i returned to work so that was even better.

haha porky bloated belly lol i’ve been using rosehip oil on my boobs not on scars though i’ve also bought some bio oil got it from lloyds whilst it was on offer 200ml for

meant rosehip lol x

cool thanks – am going to start using me bio oil tonight then – will keep in touch xx

I’ve been plastering on the bio oil since week 3 and my stretch marks have all but disappeared at week 5 x

Dollybird, do you u get stretch marks after a ba? i didnt think about this! lol

xx

great thanks dollybird – i just keep forgetting to use it – are u doing it once or twice a day or more? xx

As often as possible Leanne. I’ve been using Palmers Cocoa Butter Concentrated Cream first and once that’s soaked in I use Bio Oil. First thing in the morning, when I get in from work and just before I go to sleep though I have been putting it on more frequently if I’m at home. RW – I didn’t think about stretchmarks either. Think I have them as I went from a very flat 34A to a 34DD though my boobs are bursting out of a DD now and an E is more comfortable. They were over the top of both boobs. Two weeks of Palmers and Bio Oil and I can’t even see them now thankfully x x
