Hi everyone, I am a week post op and just got my bandages off yesterday. I was a G cup before the op and i'm 25 years old.


I knew looking at them with the bandages on that they were really small but now since seeing the bandages off i feel even worse! I told my surgeon to leave me on the bigger side as i want to lose around another stone or stone and a half but what i have doesn't even look like breasts, they look like mens pecs. I'm absolutely gutted, I was a hermit before the reduction because of the big saggy breasts and now i'm probably still going to be a hermit. they aren't even a nice shape, i can't imagine ever letting anyone of the opposite sex see these.


Has anyone else felt like this? Sorry for being so negative but I just need someone to talk to about this.

Hi Annika, I am waiting for my BR so I don't have any first hand experience. The only think I would say to you is obviously this is a MASSIVE adjustment so it will take some time to get used to the change. Also, you boobs are the shape they will eventually be, they'll need to 'drop' over the next few weeks and fill out again to look like womens boobs. From what I have seen online everyones boobs look freakishly perky and a bit square after the reduction and it isn't until a few weeks later they look like proper boobs. Also, once you lose the weigh you are planning too your boobs will appear larger! Be positive, I am sure the benefits will outweigh the negatives. It looks like you had a really good PS! Super Jealous!! xx

Hi Annika I to haven't had my BR I'm getting it done on Thursday but I agree with everything Annmarie said and I'd like to add I think you look great but I know it's what you think you look like that counts I will also tell you that I have spoke to lots of women that have had a BR and all of them have said to me don't panick when you see your breasts because we know you will automatically think OMG they took to much I have nothing left . It's very common to feel like that so give yourself time to heal from surgery and your brain to adjust to your new body . Sending lots of hugs out to you

Hi Annika, Give youself time to adjust you made a huge change in your appearance. Just like Annmarie mentioned, with time you will see big changes in the shape and softness. I can see a big difference in just 5 weeks post surgery. Be patient. Check our Heide from CA, I believe she had similar thoughts after her surgery too. Her surgery was Nov 7th.

Hi Annika, I think everything that has been said here is very true. Try and be patient and give yourself time to adjust and for your boobs to recover. I'd also suggest reading hargisjk's post. She went through a period of mourning her old girls and has a good perspective on things. It's a major adjustment when you think about how long you've spent with your previous shape. When I think ahead to my surgery I find it difficult to imagine what I'm going to look like, it seems so much that "this" is me. I think you look fantastic and have a lovely shape. If those are men's pecks then that man is in some serious trouble :)
