Breat Reduction is Today. - Bountiful, Utah

3 months post op. What can I say?! I LOVE them. They are just absolutely perfect and I get compliments all of the time. The boyfriend especially loves them which gives me the confidence I've been lacking for the past several years.

I still don't love how my right nipple looks, but I can already see changes in it, and I know it'll end up great! A new girlfriend of mine told me she had a breast reduction 10 years ago and showed me her amazing boobs and seriously they were THE best boobs I've ever seen in my life. Her nipples were perfect, the size fit her body, and a million other reasons why they were great. I know this is the best surgery one can do for themselves, and with care credit--people should do it if they are considering, even if insurance doesn't cover it! I know that personally I have zero regrets!

During this ridiculous heat wave, I keep trying to imagine what it would be like ot have those giant old things, and it makes me uncomfortable to even consider! talk about way too hot!

Once I took the steri strips off I had a complete break down over the scars and how 'scary' everything looked to me. Luckily my boyfriend called right then and I was able to go to his house to show him what I was so concerned about and he kissed the scars. It was incredibly perfect and made me feel a lot better. I'm only 10 days post op, I can't expect everything to look perfect. I really will post pictures, I am just more hesitant now that I think they look a tad scary!

Went in for my second massage today! Felt great. As soon as the doctor came in to see me, he let me know that I am allergic to the adhesive he used which is why there is so many rashes, skin irritation, and red spots. Thank goodness! I thought I had pushed myself too hard and had internal bleeding. However now I have to remove the steri strips as soon as I get home from work or else I might start blistering and then he'll have to put me on another medication for a few days. I am really excited to take the strips off to see my scars. Also, today they gave me NewGel+ Silicone Gel Sheeting to help manage the scars. Has anybody used this? I am pretty excited to try it. I am supposed to do it for the next 4 weeks every night while I am sleeping. I hope it helps. The scars I can see are looking very thick, but I know that I am healing and am only at 9 days post op, so I am being patient.
Today I feel the absolute best. I am up beat and perky and not in any pain. The healing is very itchy, but that could be partly because of the allergy to the adhesive so hopefully the itching will die down once I get that adhesive off of me. Otherwise no pain at all. Still swollen and still tightness on the sides and inbetween my boobs. Feeling great and getting a lot of compliments! Such an awesome procedure, plus my doctor is incredible. I can't get enough of him. I love that he included these massages and silicone strips in with everything, they seem to be very beneficial in the healing process. I took a picture this morning, but it looks similar to day 3 post op so I'll wait to take another photo without the strips. I definitely want to do a before and after so I can see how effective these NewGel+ strips are or possibly aren't!
