well I decided to take my 34H to a C I;m 5;7 144 lbs and I Have dense lumpy breast.
so we are cutting out the bottom half and give a lift , Well very nervous it looks like the pain will be unbearable as I don't take narcotics so not sure yet what to take , a lot of PRAYER , and the feeling that my lovely boobs are gone hasn't been easy , and the idea of not wanting anyone to ever see the scars ,

Hi there! I'm rather new to this community, but the ladies who are on here are amazing! Very supportive and encouraging :) I have not had my reduction yet, but I have been doing so much research! It seems that people have very individual results, with pain, and scarring, and when they are ready to go back to work, or be active. I think that if you take all the proper precautions, you will do just fine. There are many reviews on here to check out, and maybe the results will help you make peace with your decision. I'm not too sure you'll feel up to pushing a mop after 2 weeks. Would you be allowed any more time off just in case? Best of luck to you!!!

Hi there. I had my surgery a month ago and was taking pain medication as a precaution only, and not frequently - I didn't experience any pain at all. I think i could have done without pain medication. And I went back to work after a week :) You will be fine!

Hi there
I had my surgery two months ago - awoke in the recovery room about 3:00 and would have said my discomfort level was a 4 out of 10 - home by 3:45 and stopped taking the serious pain meds by midnight. The nurse who came by to take out my drains gave me very little notice so I didn't have pain meds for that and it was fine. Tylenol and Aleve were fine and to be perfectly honest I didn't take much of them either. Everyones pain tolerance is different but if you have made it this far in life without narcotics you probably won't really need them. No doubt about it - I was uncomfortable for sure but it was not agonizing by any stretch of the imagination.

I am interested to follow you in your journey as my surgery is slated for the 26th and the breasts are similar in size! My PS had said that she would take me to a B cup though. Maybe it all depends on how much she needs to take out to meet the minimum for it to be covered by health care? I would be fine with a B or C, but would like to stay out of the rest of the alphabet if I can!
Welcome to the community. I found that I did not have so much pain with my surgery. Mine was more tightness from swelling and just super sore and tender. Stay on top of the pain meds as prescribed and you will do well.
The scars will heal and are well concealed under the breasts. Proper scar care and all will be fine.
