Alright Zing, you made it!!!!! Congrats! You look great, not much bruising at all.
The next hardest thing is to just be patient, it was so hard for me but that is what everyone on board recommended.
They were right, in a few weeks and months you will be so pleased. I stand straighter, look healthier, no more pain and i just feel great.
Thanks for making me so welcome. The information has been invaluable. I am 6 weeks PO from my breast reduction. Still reading all I can about it and am enjoying the posts.
I am 57, 5'9'' went from a 36 H to about a 36 C. Not sure what the final size will be, even though the right breast has not changed in size in several weeks. So I am thinking a "C".
I am six weeks PO today. The insurance company also had a lot to do with how much was removed. I believe I will end up being a 36 C from a 36 H and could not be happier.
I may still have a little swelling but feel lighter, stand up straighter and have minimal back pain. So I am ecstatic with the results.
I was a little worried how I would look but tried to remember my motivation. Which was to eliminate or minimize the back pain.
I am 57 and just had a BR on February 28th of this year. My only regret is waiting so long. No need to suffer any longer. I also recently had neck surgery and wonder if I had had this done sooner if that could have been avoided. I say go for it!!!!
