A first-person recovery narrative following breast explant surgery in which the speaker describes emotional and physical adjustments, deliberate daily self-care practices (including massaging and speaking kindly to her breasts), and the gradual acceptance of post-operative changes in appearance. The tone is personal and positive, emphasizing self-kindness during healing.
Said I'm going into the surgery and I'm going to come out a new woman my body's going to thank me and everything is just we're going to continue the healing journey so I was very calm going into surgery Even the nurses after said I looked very peaceful I was smiling coming out of anesthesia which never happens usually I'm crying my eyes out and then after that I was just very kind to myself I talked to my breasts every single day which might sound silly but I would just hold them while I was massaging doing my massages I would just talk to my breasts talk to my body and just say positive and kind words to myself instead of being negative Did I like how they looked right away after I saw them? After two weeks they looked a little sad I'm not gonna lie it was a big change from having these big implants big cleavage to looking a little deflated but every day I worked on myself I kept.
