• Posted to Breast Reduction Was So Worth It! on 16 Dec 2010

  I;m 54 and I just had my breast reduction surgery yesterday afternoon. Other than trying to shake the grogginess from anesthesia and the subsequent morphine I'm doing great. For pain management I started out taking only 1/2 of Percocet 5 every 3 1/2 hours x 3 after I got home last evening, the 1/2 tablet this morning. Since noon today I've only taken 2 doses of tylenol 500 mg about 4-5 hours apart. I'm not sure what size bra I'm down to but I'm coming from a 32DDD bra size with bust measurement of 39 1/2. My family talked with the surgeon, but I was out of it, and he didn't tell them (HIPPA I'm sure). I see him in the morning and will find out then. I'm thrilled already and I haven't even seen my incisions - I just know I no longer look like I'm teetering forward, and I feel like my boobs fit my body now. I haven't had any upper back/neck pain since yesterday. I'm 54 and I've never not worn a substantial bra 24-7, nor have I ever worn a strapless dress or one with straps for that matter, but I think I just might be able to now...if I wanted. No more buying every bra they have in my size, just to make sure I have one when the old one wears out. And I'll finally be able to go to water aerobics in a bathing suit that fits me all over!!
