Breast Reduction: Stories

You look great!! Happy 3 month anniversary!!

Hey, we had our surgeries one day apart (I was on the 19th) and I was figuring I was only 2 months out or 8 weeks. Am I wrong? If I'm right then that would be perfectly normal for you to still have boob soreness. As far as that goes it would be perfectly normal to be sore at three months too, it's perfectly normal no matter what....lol.

Thank for sharing ur story. You look amazing -your size and shape is exactly what I hope for. Best wishes to you :)

you look great! i hope your last spot heals up quickly! thank you for sharing!

Love the way they turned out, they look great. You will heal in due time, just take it easy on yourself and make sure you get some rest.

You look awesome! Very nice shaped and not body at all. Hoping for recovery for your wound opening. I have yet to have this happen and am praying that it doesn't. Take care!

Hi there jennysjugs Reading your recent blogs has been great, I only found this website by chance last night. I have just been to see my plastic surgeon over here in England and he has agreed to do the surgery, I am so excited and apprehensive all at the same time. I have waited so long for this, I am 44 now and had huge boobs since I was 16, they are 30,GG now and been as big as J cup but with my back being so tiny I really suffer with back, neck and shoulder pain, I asked my gp around 15 yrs ago if he could refer me to be consider and I was told that my breast wasn't big enough to be causing me pain so I just took his word for it and thought i would just have to put up with it. I still to this day hate going shopping wether it be for underwear or just tops, I never wear dresses or scrappy tops and I get so frustrated at having to spend a fortune on bra's just because I have big boobs :-(( many days I have come home with empty bags and in tears :-(( 10 yrs ago I was diagnosed with arthritis in my thoracic part of my spine and over the years the pain has just got worse, wearing a bra is at times excruciating. Finally after constant suffering, having time off work, being miserable at home and short tempered through being in chronic pain my GP ( a different one I might add) finally applied to our primary care trust last march for funding and they approved it. :-) As you know it is a long process and I finally saw the plastic surgeon on 8th January and he has agreed to do it :-)) I am so excited. After finding this site and reading your blogs everyday is really helping me I think you are doing amazing and your boobs look fantastic :-) if mine look like yours it will be to me like winning the lottery. Over the years I have had operations and seen many people with recent surgery and I think your scaring is healing amazingly. Please keep on writing your blogs as they are really good to read. I've been told the waiting list is 4 months and I'm so looking forward to having new boobs :-)) and eventually shopping for nice clothes and lingerie Debs.

Not open yet, but the right t spot is developing a scrap like it is open inside. Out of nowhere!

You look fantastic! Brilliant size and shape. The scars look they are healing well. It amazing how emotional this process is. There have been lots of ups and downs. Igot my steri strips off on Monday 17 days after. I wanted to keep them on but the nurse said they were ready to come off. It took a few days but they feel okay! You look fantastic

Hey there, we had our surgeries on the same day and this is my first full week back to work as well. I worked a couple of short days last week, but this week back full time. I too have not been up to snuff this week, but I think it's just that three week blues to tell you the truth. I started stressing and fretting over nonsense a couple of days ago and really got myself down in the dumps. I feel there are times when I could really cut loose and bawl my eyes out. I know this is normal though and that's what gets me through it. In a week or two I'll be fine. Chin up girl, you look great!

Jenny - You look AMAZING!

Oh, and the whole "can't look at or touch scars" thing - I get it. It's totally different when those scars are on your own body! I had a reaction to the steri strips where I was so itchy i couldn't sleep, even taking Benedryl and pain meds. I took my own steri strips off at 12 days post op and I was nauseous the entire time; I felt like my incisions were going to open up and I'd have breast tissue and nipples all over the bathroom! It didn't though ;-)

Your results are amazing! They look fantastic. I think sometimes the doctors overlook how paranoid we are going to be about healing, and forget we haven't been through this a hundred times before like they have. Then we come off like the crazy people with out hundreds of questions! I had a similar experience waking up from surgery, and embarrassing myself. I was in recovery for 4.5 hours, because the hospital did not have any beds available for me. Now, typically you will only be in recovery an hour or so and you are so out of it you barely talk... But man I was wide awake and a chatter box!!! They don't allow guests back in recovery but they decided to let my husband back there because I was trying to talk to anyone and everyone... I think they were disappointed he only stayed for 5 minutes or so. Lol!!

looking great!,taking care of 6 yr old boys? thats alof of movement,,,be careful!..congratulations!
