My Breast Reduction Journey: One Year Later - Scottsdale, AZ

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since my surgery! It still feels like it wasn't that long ago, but at the same time, it's a little hard to remember what it was like before. I went from an H cup to a B/C cup, which is so crazy to me. I'm feeling amazing and I'm still so happy I had this done. It has been quite the journey and I've had some bumps along the way, but I would do it all over again if I had to. I love my result! My doctor said it looks like I have small implants, lol.

I did go in yesterday for my scar revision. My scar where I had the issue under my left breast was wider and still red. I also still had some extra skin on the side scar on the right side. Both were very minor issues and my doctor joked that he might as well make them perfect, since they are so close to it. He removed scar tissue and stitched me up. I was pretty sore last night, but Ibuprofen took care of it after it had time to work. I've got tape over the incisions again for 3 weeks. I'll update with new pictures after the tape comes off.

Well, it's been almost 10 months since my surgery. Still the one of the best decisions I have made. About a month ago I went in for a small scar revision on my right side where the scar was still a little puffy. My doctor used liposuction to suck out extra fat that was making it stick out. It was a simple procedure that was done in his office with only local anesthesia. It didn't hurt at all, but I could feel the pressure of what he was doing. It was bandaged up for about a week and hurt as much as a bruise does, and now that scar is flat. My scars are slowly fading and turning white. Underneath the left breast where I had my problem area is still red and doesn't look pretty, but I am going in at my year mark to have a scar revision there too. My PS will make a shallow incision along the scar and pull the skin tighter to make a nice pretty scar to match the right side. :) Not looking forward to being taped again, but it will be worth it. All in all, I am still so happy I was able to have this surgery! I can't believe that in just two months it will have been a year! But at the same time, it's hard to remember what those big ole boobies felt like!

My surgery was 7 months ago on June 11th. Everything is still great. I love my results! I am still fitting into 36B bras. It's so awesome not paying $60+ for one bra. I just bought a strapless and t-back bra that came in a set for $20! I am loving being able to wear cute little sundresses this summer. My scars are fading nicely. Some spots are still a little pink/red, but they don't bother me. My problem area under the left side has healed pretty good. That scar is wider, but doesn't look too bad. I'll probably still get a scar revision at the end of summer though so that it matches the other side. Everyone tells me how much more confident I am now. Some know about the surgery and some don't. But everyone can tell how much more happy I am. This was seriously the best decison and it has completely changed my life.
