Swelling is a natural part of healing after breast reduction—and it changes over time.

Early on, it’s normal to experience peak swelling in the first few days, along with some tightness, warmth, and bruising. As your body heals, swelling steadily improves over the following weeks, with most of it settling by around 6 weeks. A small amount may linger and fluctuate for a few months.

Supporting your recovery with the right care—like wearing your compression bra, resting in an elevated position, and easing back into activity—can help minimise swelling and keep things on track.

THIS IS A REMINDER TO HAVE YOUR ANNUAL MAMMOGRAM!

Why do I need a mammogram?
Mammograms can often show a breast lump before it can be felt. They also can show tiny clusters of calcium called micro-calcifications. Lumps or specks can be caused by cancer, fatty cells, or other conditions like cysts. Further tests are needed to find out if abnormal cells are present.

What age do I need to start having mammograms?
Women 40 and older should have mammograms every year. Women under 40 who have risk factors for breast cancer, such as a significant family history of breast cancer or a genetic mutation, should ask their healthcare provider whether mammograms are advisable and how often to have them.

Even women who have no symptoms and no known risks for breast cancer should have regularly scheduled mammograms to help detect potential breast cancer at the earliest possible time.

What are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer?

Every person should know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and any time an abnormality is discovered, it should be investigated by a healthcare professional.

Most people who have breast cancer signs and symptoms will initially notice only one or two, and the presence of these signs and symptoms do not automatically mean that you have breast cancer.

By performing monthly breast self-exams, you will be able to more easily identify any changes in your breasts. Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual.

Signs and symptoms to look out for -

1. A change in how the breast or ni**le looks or feels
2. A change in the breast or ni**le appearance
3. Any ni**le discharge

What is a self breast examination?

A breast self-exam is an early detection tool that uses a combination of physical and visual examinations of the breasts to check for signs and symptoms of breast cancer. The purpose of a breast self-exam is to become familiar with the way your breasts normally look and feel. Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel, also called breast self-awareness, will help you identify any changes or abnormalities in your breasts, such as a new lump or skin changes. Any changes in your breasts discovered during a breast self-exam should be reported to your Doctor right away.

While a breast self-exam is a useful tool for the early detection of breast cancer, it should not take the place of regular mammograms and clinical breast exams.

How often should a self examination be performed?

Adult women of all ages are encouraged to perform breast self-exams at least once a month. For women still menstruating, a breast self-exam should be performed a few days after her period ends. For those who are post-menopausal, a breast self-exam should be performed on the same day of each month, such as the 1st or 15th day of the month.

While mammograms can help you to detect cancer before you can feel a lump, breast self-exams help you to be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. Alert your healthcare professional if you notice any changes in your breasts, such as a new lump, sore spot, changes in the appearance of the skin, or ni**le discharge.

How to perform self breast examinations -

1. In front of the mirror
With your arms at your sides, visually inspect your breasts, looking for any changes in the contour or shape of the breasts, any dimpling, swelling, or other skin irregularities on or around the breasts, or any changes in the ni**les.

Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Look for any dimpling, puckering, or other changes, particularly on one side. Note that the left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women’s breasts are perfectly symmetrical.

2. Lying down
When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and put your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your 3 middle fingers around your right breast, covering the entire breast area and armpit.

Use light, medium, and firm pressure to feel for any new lumps, thickenings, hardened knots, or any other breast changes. Also squeeze the ni**le to check for discharge. Repeat these steps for your left breast.

3. In the shower
With the pads/flats of your 3 middle fingers, check the entire breast and armpit area, pressing down with light, medium, and firm pressure. Check both breasts each month, feeling for any new lumps, thickenings, hardened knots, or any other breast changes.
