Breast Reduction

Starting on a New Adventure - Massachusetts, MA

Posted to sex after surgery? on 14 Mar 2013

My aftercare papers and what my surgeon actually told me were slightly different. The papers said no sex for at least a week. However, when I asked my surgeon at the preop appointment, she said I could do it whenever I felt up for it, as long as I was in a position where my breasts were being squished. I ended up waiting about 2 and a half weeks, and it wasn't painful at all.

a little over 1000 grams from each side. I went from an H cup to a D/DD (I am now 5 months post op.)
Posted to March 2013 Breast Reductions Check In Here.... on 17 Feb 2013

Hi. Sorry for the delay in answering your question. I just saw this! I slept in my bed. I actually got the go ahead to sleep in a less reclined position if I was more comfortable. I slept in my bed with one pillow under my head and two smaller pillows (one underneath each arm.)
Posted to What excuse (if any!) did you tell your work/co-workers about your Breast Reduction? on 12 Feb 2013

I told my job I was having surgery and I'd need to be gone for 4-6 weeks. None of the upper management asked what the surgery was for. However, I was willing to share what was going on with my coworkers because I was so excited! Several people told me about people they knew who also had breast reductions. I started at a new job after my surgery, so nobody could ask my about my absence. However, when I told people about the surgery, they couldn't believe that I was ever that big!
Posted to What kind of clothing did you wear home after surgery? on 12 Feb 2013

I wore a button down shirt and pajama pants.
