Hey Girls,
so i am 11 days post op now and my boobs still feel really heavy, does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to feel lighter and a part of your body?

thank you

Mine still feel heavy too! i can move them a little bit more now though, I can't squish them completely together, but I can move them a bit closer together now though, so they aint as hard and stuck there. Have you got that stinging/sensitive feeling yet? it's driving me insane!! And my nipples are starting to chap :( XXX

hey singingbabe,
mine have gone a little softer but i'm too scared to even try and push them together, i think i need to get a bit braver.
yer my nipples are chapped too and so sensitive that sometimes its embarrasing, feel like i'm going to poke someones eye out haha.
do you mean the stinging sensatio nin your nipples? if so yes then i do keep getting it and like sharp shooting pains.
my friend has advised me to get some nipple cream that women use when they breast feed, its called Lansinoh.
cant believe we have both had new boobies for 11 days, i feel like it happened months ago now but then realise it wasn't long ago when i cant fully put up my arms.

Haha I know exactly how you feel! I think im fine, then I lift my arms over my head to put my tops on and I get a big twang and realise 'oh crap you're not healed yet' haha, I can't even open the oven door or shut my window!!! lol! Deffo will buy some of that cream, makes me feel sick looking at chapped nipples haha xxx

Its really odd, one morning you will wake up and they will just feel normal and part of you!......this took about 4-5 weeks with me and I used to cradle them for the 1st 3 weeks for fear they might drop off! When will they stop feeling so heavy? 751387

I'm nearly 3weeks post op and 1feels heavy and I can hardly feel the other 1,it's such a strange feeling.Anyone else had this?

I'm almost 3 weeks post op and I have noticed a dramatic difference in how heavy they feel. They were killing my back last week but I have felt so much better the last 2 to 3 days. My nipples are so sensitive and I am finding it to be very uncomfortable. I was feeling sharp and stabbing pains in both breast all last week to the point where my sports bra felt like it was hurting to touch my skin. This has improved in the last 2 days also. I can push them together but they are pretty close anyhow. They are not very soft though. As soon as I massage them they start to harder within a few minutes.

Mine took about 4 weeks till i didn't feel them so much anymore, i do remember holding them all the, especially on the stairs feeling like they would just fall out.. then overnight it seemed that feeling was gone!

by jen86 21st July 2011, 9:29 pm

yeah i remember that heavy feeling....quite of just dissappeared at around 2 weeks for me xx

I was wonderin this 2, good question!! It's so strange how heavy they feel, and most of the skin over my boobs has no feelin!! I have some sensation in my nipples again. Can't wait til they feel part of me instead of these big heavy lumps stuck on my body haha xx

I felt the same way ): They feel better each day! seriously! I was regretful after my surgery, i felt ridiculous! I looked ridiculous! but they get softer and feel lighter every day! PROMISE!
