Question:
Should my breasts feel hardish and numb
I am 1 week post breast reduction and it feels like my breasts are hard. I am not running a fever or anything so I don't think they are infected. They took the drains out Thursday. They don't hurt just feel hard and numb. The only pain I have is under my breasts it feels like an underwire bra cutting into the skin on the suture line. Did everyone have to weat a support or sports bra after the surgery? — beachdog (posted on October 18, 2004)

You probably should still be wearing a sports bra. I'm 3 weeks post op and
just started wearing a regular bra. There's a really great website
http://www.breasthealthonline.org/breastreduction.html lots of info!
Good luck!

Hi, I will coming up on my 2year anniv this december for a breast reduction
and what you describing I dealt with also..they well feel hard and numb for
a while till they slowly, what you can say drop...and they will slowly also
start having the feeling back...I would say give it a few months for the
numbness to go away and if your not comfortable about it..by all means talk
with your ps...to explain all what you need to know and hear...I had no
complications and would do it all over agian..in fact with my wls I will
end up having to have some implants of some sort to put back what I have
loss...no worries here though...enjoy your twins@@

I am 2 1/2 months post-op from a breast reduction and my breast finally are
feeling like my breast. The numbness is gone, and the hard swollen muscles
are finally gone. At about 3 weeks, I was able to wear a real bra, not
underwire. Give it alittle time, the ps had to push and move some tissue
to get your breast done.

I also had a breast lift/reduction and had the hardness and definitely
numbness. I'm 5 months post-op and still have some numbness in my nipples.
Sometimes I feel more than other times. The hardness lasted a while but
has probably been gone for 1-2 months now. They got kinda' lumpy but now
they are nice and soft again.
