48 hours After and the First Look!! (Includes a pic with a black out line)

Today I got to finally take a shower.  I had to wait 48 hours since surgery and I was really ready for it. Besides really wanting to see how my breast looked, I also had some seriously oily hair going on. LOL. I was nervous of course about seeing how everything looked.  On previous surgeries when I would look at my breast it always looked awful afterward.  If I was going to give you a word that would come to mind it would be that it looked horrific.  So I was prepared for the worst because the norm is that everything will be swollen and sore and red. I am stuck wearing this huge very snug bra right now for a few weeks so I got ready and took that off… to my surprise, everything looked amazing!!  I mean yah… there is some swelling, and my breast feels hard from it, but man on man, you can tell that the shape is JUST RIGHT!  And it will look perfect when the swelling goes down.  I am so excited about it.  My surgeon did such a great job.  I am very impressed.  It is very very tucked right now underneath, which was exactly what was supposed to happen, and that will eventually smooth out and everything will become relaxed.  I can not even begin to tell you what a feeling of relief I have.  It just feels so good to know that this problem is now taken care of.

At this point it is just all about waiting… waiting a full year for complete healing.  And you know what? I am all good for it!  I don’t mind.  This just makes me feel so much better about how they look and I think I can finally be content with my chest after all this time.  Now I just get to wait for the medical bill to arrive and see what we owe. Lol

So anyway…. There is my quick update.  I am happy…. And that is seriously all I could ask for.  Thank you Lord for leading me to the right surgeon and blessing the procedure.   P.S. The picture below is how it looked this morning. The area I am pointing to is where it is tucked and attached to my rib. That area is swollen and will go down over the course of the year and the skin/scar area will smooth out as well. The breast is swollen too, and feels hard, but that will relax over time as well and look normal. This is so exciting!
