DMX, Flat (no reconstruction) and Loving it

I have also elected to not have reconstruction following DMX. Its a whirlwind from diagnosis to surgery, so there isn’t much time to think and research. Although I was definite about not wanting recon, my surgeon left the sub mammary fold ‘incase I changed my mind later - they sit so much nicer’ and it does give a slight hint of form. (Most likely from my seromas though lol). I am anxious to see the final result when all the swelling and fluid has settled down, and I had set in my mind before surgery that would be 2 weeks after - but it seems it will be quite a bit longer….  I am not sure if I will bother getting proper prosthesis, as a crop top with a foam form and some cotton wool is actually nice and light and does the job. I cannot bear wearing tight clothing at the moment (including crop tops) be nice to know how long it takes before its comfortable and pain free. Something that isn’t really talked about before surgery.  
I don’t know how anyone has a recon, I simply cannot imagine being that uncomfortable. My husband is keen for me to join the flat and fabulous brigade, its his way of being fully supportive of my new body. 
Thanks for your post Fernweh I’d be interested to know how long it took to feel fully comfortable after surgery, and if you had seromas? How long did they last?
