I had my reconstruction surgery almost 2 weeks ago. I took the bandages off on Thursday and frankly it looks like I was cut open and a sock was put in me. The reconstructed side is much flatter than my other breast and is just a little larger than before the surgery. Does it usually look this bad? Does it fix itself later?

I see the plastic Surgeon on Monday.
