30H Breast Reduction

The good and the bad

WORTH IT
The good:
Love my new shape
Love being able to by clothes
Love being able to buy bras from any store
Love being able to wear a dress without a bra
Love the reduction in pain in my upper shoulders and along where my bra band sits.
The bad:
I lost a lot of feeling. My left nipple has next to no feeling and my right has only a little. The skin around my nipples can't feel much either, though sensitivity comes back about half way towards the base/root of the breasts.
I don't regret doing the procedure, it was totally the right choice. What I will miss is all the sensations I used to enjoy. I know it means I just get to explore and relearn what my body likes, but it's a bit daunting and sad making. *Sigh* maybe it will change. I'm still experiencing pinging nerves once and awhile so perhaps things will just keep changing for awhile. We'll see.

No more scabs!

All the scabs are off now! I'm really happy with how the nipples look! I'm also off of all pain meds now.

Starting back at work was hard, but it's been improving! I was having trouble lifting my work backpack so I got a rolling one to use for the next few weeks and that really helped my pain at them end of the day.

3.5 weeks out

I've been feeling pretty good this last week or so.I can feel my breasts shifting and settling a bit more and I have a lot more energy. I'm still really pleased with how my breasts look and I'm looking forward to finally buying new bras and clothes.
