Hi @Skbr
Everything looks pretty normal, although it does look quite red. And I’m not sure why your skin is wrinkled up like that at the bottom where you mentioned. I had white cone like things covering my nipples and half my breasts for about 9 days post surgery, so I don’t know what they looked like then. But that’s actually how expanders look. They’re rigid and tight and make the breast look like it’s stuck on. It’ll take it time to settle, then look a bit better. And after the next stage of recon it should look much better. Def have your surgeon check it though. It’s surprising she hasn’t come to see you yet. Maybe the registrar has come by instead? Just request that she comes, it’s their job to do so. And def take a pain killer every 4 hours or so. I was given them every 4 hours while in hospital and encouraged to take them, because it’s harder to heal when you’re in pain.
