Hi In October last year I had a skin sparing mastectomy
but with nipple removed ( my plastic surgeon said because I was an E cup it would be extremely difficult to keep the nipple.)
I think your breast looks pretty good for day 2 compared to mine.
I had a lot of bruising and swelling ( as well as a lot of pain) and the swelling and bruising didn’t go down for about 3 weeks.
So I think just give it a little time.
The breast used to also get hot and tight and this only settled down after about 6 weeks and then when I started radiotherapy 9 weeks after the surgery it stirred it up again.
Have a look at the Choosing Breast Reconstruction Group on here for lots of helpful stories including photos.
