How I Recovered After Breast Reduction - Part 2 of My Story
Manage episode 493656841 series 3672122
What does recovery really look like after breast reduction surgery?
In Part 2 of my breast reduction journey, I’m sharing what happened after the surgery — and it wasn’t what I expected.
I had no breast pain, but I still faced discomfort, humility, and a slower-than-expected recovery. From managing drains and navigating a surprise rib suture, to asking my husband for help and learning to rest — this episode is a raw look at what real healing looks and feels like.
Whether you're preparing for breast reduction or deep in your own recovery, this is the truth I wish I had heard sooner.
