Panicking after op

I know I’m probably just being ridiculous as I’m only four days post op but Im really upset with the way my breasts look! They’re so cone like and my nipples are completely prominent, even in my sports bra you can see them bulging through the material! I’m really bruised right down my cleavage and up the sides on my ribs, with random patches on bruising on top of my boobs. I don’t have any feeling in my nipples at all which is freaking me out. How long before they stop being rock hard and you get the feeling back? Please say your nipples go back to how they looked before or else I’ll cry!

Any help to stop me panicking irrationally would be great 🙁

It will all settle down. Don’t panic. I had a partial uplift and have puffy nipples and my breasts are very swollen and I’m 20 days PO, my one sits higher than the other too. Every day is better than the day before, all the little niggles, shooting pains etc are completely normal too. All the nerve endings repairing. The feeling in them will change too, I had little feeling and now mine are super sensitive. I was really bruised too, I still have soreness in my ribs just below. It’s a big op and your body now needs time to repair itself. Don’t worry. Xx

My nipples were massive and puffy/swollen for around 3 weeks then settled down. You could see them through any top it was so embarrassing. I still don’t have feeling in my left – it may come back it may not, it’s all normal x

I’m 12 weeks po and mine are just about looking the same now it’s a long process and u feel feel worried after s few days but u must be patient x

I am nearly 6 weeks post op and my nipples are permanantly out! I have also lost feeling in a lot of my boob.. As them looking cone like, it’s really normal and they will literally completely change shape over the coming weeks. It’s a long process to the final result xxx

Thanks for the replies everyone, so glad it’s not just me. It feels like I’ve broken my ribs on one side it’s so sore, hoping that’s going to get better this week!x
