WORTH IT
I met w/Dr K Friday. Everything is healing nicely. I do have one spot, shown in pictures where the cut line is lower. Dr K said at my next appointment in 2 months, she'd take me down to the OR for a correction to move the line under the crease.
I ran to/from the car this weekend....what an amazing feeling! I felt so light !
This has been such a great experience! Overall recovery's been fairly easy. I've now started with the scar treatment. Applying gel 2x/day. This is recommended for 6 months. 2 more weeks and I can go back to running. Looking forward to it!

5/10- I went to the doctor today & the healing is coming along nicely! I did have lipo around the armpit area & the bruising from that is going down. The girls are still numb, Dr. K assured me that's normal, it just takes time. She also told me I could wear just a tank top with a shelf in it if I want. I've always wondered shat the shelves were for, theyoften just got in the way, so I guessI need to find some new tank tops to wear!
I'm still in shock at their size, perkiness & how my clothes fit! I have weeks of healing left, but the biggest changes were immediate: neck pain-gone, shoulder pain-gone, bra grooves in my shoulder-gone! One more week & I can move my arms above my head! At the 4 week appointment, she'll remove the tape! Why did I wait so long to do this????

You look just wonderful and you sound so happy. Good luck and get some rest.
Wow! You look amazing. The why did I wait so long" comment and the 100% worth it rating in this topic says it all. Please keep us updated for all of the women who will come to read your story. Thank you so much and I could not be happier for you!
wow that size looks awesome on you and they are so beautiful and perky! I am hoping for similar results with my reduction! Congratulations and Happy Healing! :)
You look fabulous - congratulations! I had my reduction December 17th and am so happy with the results (36 DD+ to 36C - D). I can wear lovely little dresses, tops - summery things without too much cleavage. It has been a wonderful experience and I am thrilled to have done it. I can see how your life will change too. It keeps getting better - enjoy it all.
