9 weeks post reduction

So here I am almost two years out. The pain in my shoulders, back and sternum are gone and most of the scars have healed nicely. I have settled into a 38C. What I didn't realize going into this was how much attention I got because of my large breasts. When I walked into a room everyone looked...After the reduction no one does and I had to deal with feeling invisible. There was a lot more emotional stuff to deal with than I expected where my breast size was concerned. Now that I am past that and don't feel like I had a mastectomy I love my breasts. As the Dr who did my last breast exam said they "feel real" and not all do after surgery. The scars have lightened significantly and in some areas are completely gone. They are perky and comfortable. I did have a cyst develop in the LT breast so you sill see some scarring around the nipple from when it was removed but I am very happy with them.

Here we are at 9 weeks post reduction. I have been back to work for 2 weeks. Even though I had taken 7 weeks off the first week back was exhausting, the second week back was much better. I got off work Friday night and I still had energy... I am so excited! I have been able to get things done around the house this weekend and I feel totally back to normal. My breasts are healing up nicely and I am finally used to the smaller size. They sort of remind me of a short haircut, always looks nice but you can't do much with them ;-)

I decided to post some more pics because it seems like things are changing a bit. It seems like most of the swelling is gone and things are starting to settle. I went and had a bra fitting today and I am betwen a B and C cup. I had been going for a full C to a small D, the Dr reccomended a D. I have been concerned off and on about how small I ended up but I think if I had to err on the side of being too small or being too large I would rather be too small... I can always add a padded bra if I need to! I have to say I am loving not having all the shoulder, sternum and back pain and being able to wear sundresses and empire waist clothing designs has been a lot of fun!
