I am almost 3 weeks out from my Bilateral DIEP, and was wondering what is normal for the chest/flap area, meaning, how much discomfort and tightness outside the flaps is reasonable. I have tightness/hardness above the flaps, toward the center of the chest up approx. 2 to 3 inches, going out from the center, but the flaps themselves look and fell fine-where the elliptic scars are.. What kind of symptoms, about three weeks out, do others have around the flap areas. My stomach, at this time is doing good!
