WORTH IT
After ending up with alot of ugly scarring, I decided that rather than risk poor healing twice, I would just cover the scars with a tattoo that I love. Since I struggled to find example pictures, I've decided to post mine to help the next lady out with this desicion. Here are my post breast reduction surgery scar and tattoo cover up pictures.

I should also share, that I am one of those women who took MONTHS to heal. I had terrible necrosis! A home health care aid came twice a week to pack, and repack, the holes that were in my chest, for months.....until it could heal from the inside out. Keep hope, struggling healers! I still would do it all over again! G to B....What a differance!
p.s my tattoo has healed and pealed....and pealed, with no troubles! Hurrayyy!

I am amazed that even the people who have real trouble with healing would still do it all again. I think that knowledge is what convinced me to go for it, and I appreciate you sharing that with everyone trying to make a decision!

That's exactly what motivated me to share my pics!
Thank you, to all who've appreciated them.

I too was a long healer almost 3 months and had to have a 2nd surgery because of trouble with 46 J also have the scars and "lost" a nipple but I'm 59 and wish I'd done it long ago, would so do it again too. Never thought I could go "braless"... now a large c/ small d they look so small I think I need a padded bra...lol

Don'tcha just love it!! :-) I love it!! ......The typical woman "bra hatred" thing, became different too. They are now uncomfortable AND unnecessary! ;-)

I love the fact that even though it didn't all go as planned you would still do it all over again it give other women who are trying to decide insight on how wonderful it is and how much the pro's out weigh the cons when it comes to this type of surgery. I also have to add that your tattoo is absolutely beautiful what a great idea you came up with.

**Thank you, ladies.
Every time I come back to this page, and run through all the thoughts in my head, about having shared my new “girls” with the WHOLE world, via the internet, I remember, too, the days of looking at myself in the mirror and wondering if I’d made the right choice in having the reduction in the first place. Your understanding of why I posted these pictures is very reassuring to me. I am absolutely glad I had the surgery; My life really is better, because of it. These pictures and this posting, help to remind me of what a path of transformation our lives really are, and I hope my pics continue to help others when making this sometimes scary decision.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! So feminine and just, WOW! What an amazing, creative, powerful idea! Here's to you!

That is really, really gorgeous. Was this your design or did you work with the Tattoo artist. I love how it flows across your body.

Was his design with my input. I told him that I love flowers and that I love water, and he had already done a BEAUTIFUL piece on my hip, years before, of lotus flowers and stuff, so he just sketched it out and together we tweaked it to fit and cover perfectly and then voila! Scars Gone Forever!! Yippieeee!

I think a lot of ladies will really appreciate the idea and your willingness to share your story and pictures! I think that is a great way to deal with the scars if you are bothered by them or if you had excessive scarring. Thanks so much!
