45, Breast Reduction 2 years post op update - Canberra, AU

I wanted to show how my BR looks after 2 years because I was curious about the longer term look before I had my op. In short - this is still one the best ever decisions I made for myself. I love my new boobs and I feel happy about getting the op every time I get dressed, try on new clothes, meet new people etc etc. It is no exaggeration to say that it would be almost every day since the op that I think about how happy I am with my BR! I'm surprised I still still get so much happy from the op after this length of time. I was so paranoid about putting on weight and them getting big again I have become obsessed with working out and eating healthy. It was a big financial outlay for me but in terms of a daily happy lifting thought, and much healthier lifestyle, totally worth it. Just an example: I went for a couple of job interviews in the months before the op 2 years ago and they were a total disaster. In the last couple of months I have been looking around for a new job again and this time I'm like a totally different creature - very confident and doing well. I know I sound like a dodgy commercial, but my BR has seriously been such a good thing in my life. For all my sisters thinking about / going through the same procedure, I really wish the same joy and confidence for you from your op that I have had from mine. xx

Had my 6 week appointment - i don't need to put the tape on anymore around the incisions - just use some silicon gel on them.
Everything healing well which is great.
I have been able to exercise the last couple of weeks - felt great to be able to do some exercise and i wasn't as unfit as i was worried i could be.
I just wore a couple of sports bras (smaller size!) and lighter weights the first couple of times then everything was fine to go back to my normal workouts.
Is a great being able to exercise without the heavy painful mono-boob feeling!
So many moments since the surgery where i realise I don't feel pain / uncomfortable / embarrassed.
It feels amazing - one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
I have another appointment in 4 months - I have been very pleased with the amount of aftercare, I just didn't expect it.
If anyone in the ACT area is thinking of getting a breast reduction - I would say
1. do it!
2. I recommend the CAPS clinic 100%
Very happy : )

Saw my PS today and the incisions healing well but need a bit of ointment to treat one bit which was a bit yuck.
There is still a bit of swelling and i have to keep the tape on the scars for the next few weeks as well.
I have been like my dog the last couple of weeks - 2 walks a day and lots of snoozing - it's been nice.
I was surprised by how tired i was for while after the surgery.
I haven't told many people that I was getting this done - but one friend i did tell said something cool.
She said - you'll be like an Amazon! - meaning the legend that the Amazons would remove their breasts to make them better fighters.
Nice warrior imagery i'll take it!
As usual clinic visit very nice and i just keep feeling happier and happier about all the good things with my lovely tiny new boobs!
