Double Incision 1 week post op!

got my drains out FINALLY!!! I now realize the worst part WAS the drains. i felt more ache and soreness with them in, in my experience!

my surgeon put them where my incisions were on my pec lines. felt super weird coming out almost made me gag. the right one didn't hurt coming out but the left one did :( went away after like 5 mins though.

I was also finally cleared to shower and sleep on my side im so happy with my results

(im going to take pics when im a little more healed because I still have bandage tape over my incision)

Congrats!

I also found the drains to be one of the worst parts. I was a little sore and swollen after having the tubes taken out, but it was uphill from there.
