After becoming fit, I lost the fat around my rib...

After becoming fit, I lost the fat around my rib cage. I didn't realize how much it was supporting my breasts. As I went from a 38 to a 34, my breasts became harder to hold still during my runs. My breasts didn't decrease in size despite losing 40 pounds of fat. I had scars from the chafing on my back and had serious lower back pain. I had never considered body modification and truly believed I never would. After running a marathon, I knew I needed to do something drastic if I wanted to continue running long distances.

6 Days Later

Yesterday afternoon I decided to stop the Percocet and switch to Tylenol. I couldn't handle the "loss of time" and grogginess effects. I woke up this morning felling very little pain and in a good mood. I forgot one of the side effects of narcotics for me is ghost pain.
My breasts are beautiful. It's strange to look in the mirror and be so small. Looking down I only see perfectly formed, evenly sized breast with the most adorable nipples ever. In the mirror I can see the underside bruising, but I'm surprised at the smallness of the incision. I don't have dog ears. I don't know how it's possible not to have dog ears given the amount of tissue removed; 5 pounds. I put on a chemise last night and looked like a super model. The reduction was worth every penny.

Has it Only Been Two Weeks?

I feel great! I've been to the gym a couple of times and once to yoga. When I look in the mirror naked, I'm still quite shocked at how perfect and small my breasts look. I'm swollen along my ribs under my armpits and am currently wearing a 38DD. I'm excited to see what I will look like in 6 months. I want to take these beauties out for a run as soon as possible. Did you know most runners can see the ground below them while running? I had no idea.

Dr. Steinwald listened to my complaint and gave me hope. His manner was calm and professional. His technique was fantastic. The surgery took exactly the time he estimated and I suffered no ill effects. He called me at home the day after my procedure to check on my progress. The next day he removed my bandages and checked my progress. My nipples have full sensation; they didn't before the procedure. I have bruising underneath and mild pain, more like a severe sunburn than an injury. Based on my recovery so far, I recommend anyone considering breast reduction to see Dr. Steinwald.
