I woke up to a sharp pain in my chest and looked down and saw a golf ball sized lump above my nipple and could feel it growing over the next 30 minutes, and felt it pulling my internal stitches. It’s now the size of an orange. I freaked out and woke up my mom and started crying because I thought that everything is going to be ruined after having everything go so smooth the first week and finally getting used to my new chest and feeling comfortable with it. I called my surgeon and she said it looks “very large” and wants me to go in and see her tomorrow. It’s big and it hurts and I’m sad and scared that it’s all going to be messed up now. I know these things happen and I could always get a revision if some something does happen but just the thought of possibly having to get surgery again is awful:/ I just want everything to be ok. Im mostly just looking for support and guys that went through something similar and maybe some words of encouragement. This is the first time I’ve felt like maybe I made a mistake but I know this is what I’ve always wanted and I’m actually really happy with the results it just sucks feeling like I literally have a boob again😭

5 days post op! I had double incision with FNG and NO drains! Process has been very smooth overall and I’m very pleased with the results. I had my consultation in April.
