Awesome! I hope I love my results as much as you. I have a lot of side swelling but tomorrow is only 7 days post op.

I hope that you are happier with your results now that a little more time has passed. I remember reading posts on here that said it could take 6-12 months to get to final shape. I'm 4 weeks post op myself. I had some unusual setbacks with my left, so it is about 2 weeks behind in healing. PS says to give it time to catch up. It is still more swollen and had to have a drain, which was removed today. But the complete relief that I have--neck, shoulders, back, no migraines and even my hips and low back have stopped hurting--reaffirms that this was absolutely the right and best thing to do. As for the look, I don' t mind waiting since I don't have the pain and aches on my mind. Good luck to you!

One month and things are going great! There is still some soreness at the incision site, especially, when turning on my side at night. But, I am happier with the size now and I went jogging today and really noticed a difference. Look at my new pictures!

Does anyone know if the sensation in your nipples returns when they completely remove your nipples and reattach them? I'm getting mixed answers on different websites.

Your post helped me a lot thanks! I'm 5 days post op and still a d I'm hoping for a c and you gave me hope! Yours look great!

Thanks! I also was looking for hope and it was hard to find at the time! Things really improved after week 3 when the bruises were almost gone. Now I can even sleep on my side at night with no pain! Good luck with your recovery.

I had different breasts before my surgery. One of them was DD and the other C. Now I am a B. I had my surgery in January 17th. Somedays one looks better than the other, mostly when I have my period. I feel sad that I paid all that money and they are not the same. However, I am very happy with the new me, you can't see the difference with a bra or without a bra if I have clothes on. It's much better than before and I need to remember a lot of people have one bigger than the one. So, don't concentrate in the negative but the positive. You will be so happy this summer:) good luck

Healing is going well but I still have the same concerns. I think that because of the great lift the doctor gave me, my breasts feel a lot bigger. But, there is a lot of tissue on the sides and I still hope it goes down. I also am still filling up my current D bra. I've added two more pictures to show day 10 progress. Any hope that I have nothing to worry about?

Thanks for checking in! Healing is going very well. The only hard part is continuing to sleep on my back without rolling on my side at night. I often wake up with sore muscles. The swelling is about the same, so I don't know about that. I will see the doc on Mon. Good luck to you!

I had my breast reduction done 11 days ago. My nipples seem to be flat and sink in. Will they pop back out?

I never had that problem, but maybe it is because you have to wear a bra 24-7 for the first 2 weeks. Try not wearing one at night.

I did have a period of time where I was worried about my nipples.  They just didn't look quite right. It was like the peak would almost fold over (and I'm sure it was from the tightness of the bra) and leave an indent in the surrounding areola.  As my swelling lessened this corrected itself.  If it persists certainly ask your surgeon. Do you have sensation in your nipples?

@excerciseme, Do you know how many grams of tissue your Ps removed during your BR?
March 17, 2012
About 150 g. I think that is one cup size and that is what I see. The lift, however is amazing!
