Breast Reduction Worth It! So Happy - Buffalo, NY

My doctor said he preferred I waited 4 or 5 months. You don't really need the underwire for support but I do think they make your boobs more shapely. Plus they are prettier bras.

You are going to be thrilled!! Surgery recovery wasn't bad. I was back at the gym doing cardio a week later. Went back to work 2.5 weeks after surgery. You picked a great time. Might as well give yourself time to heal. I'm at 6 months post-surgery and I can't even remember what it was like to have big boobs. Lol!!!

No strips.....sorry but I had surgical glue.

What you use is not nearly as important as just using something. Gently rub the incision site after its fully healed. Keep it out of the sun, use any type of moisturizer or lotion, and keep yourself well hydrated by increasing water intake. This all helps. Everyone's scars heal differently and there is no one answer to everything. They do take time. Redness from scarring can take 9-18 months to fade depending on skin type. I've used honeybeez lotion, palmer's skin therapy oil, vaseline cocoa butter deep conditioning and they all work about the same. From everything I've read Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and vaseline seem to be the most recommended.

I'll try to see if I have any before pictures. After is easy. I planned on taking pictures in different outfits before the surgery but never got to it. Make sure you do!!!! Just did nudies. It cracks me up to see how big they used to be....LOL. My whole thought was I was more embarrased with them being so droopy and big with big shoulder grooves (not sexy at all in my opinion)that the scars couldn't be any worse. Honestly - I'm proud of these new girls. Not self conscious about the scarring at all. I love the perky lifted look without any bra the most!
