Six Months Post-Op
I don't have much to write since my last update but things are going well and really am happy that I had this procedure done. I am still amazed every day that my breasts are the size that they are. I love being able to wear tank tops and v-neck sweaters without being so self conscious. I also love lying down and not having my breasts flop to the side. But I think the best part is that I am no longer dreading the summer because of all the rashes I would get underneath my breasts - sometimes they got so bad that they would bleed.
I am progressing on my weight loss journey so I will update after I have lost my 20/25 pounds and let you know how weight loss effects the breasts. I am at that age where if I go down to low weight wise my face gets to gaunt.
I will say for people who are considering a reduction and wondering if having smaller breasts will make you look like you have a bigger stomach and my answer is no. I think before people would look at me just because I had such huge breasts and now the stares are gone. My mother always said that my breasts just made me look matronly.
I am going to once again attempt to put up pictures. I think my problem before was that my camera was making the images too large and I think I have rectified that.

Pictures
For some reason my pictures didn't post I will try one more time and if it doesn't work I will post them tomorrow when I am in town (the internet doesn't work well at my house because I am in the middle of nowhere).
Five Month Update
So, I have had the last five months to get used to my new breasts and I have to say, I love them.
The thing I like most about having smaller boobs is that I no longer have to pull on my bra straps or constantly run into the bathroom to rearrange them as they were constantly falling out of my bra. Also, I no longer have to jog with my arms across my chest to keep them bouncing up and down.
My breasts came into their own about the three month mark - it was then that they evened out (one was a cup size larger than the other at the beginning). Tape measure wise I am a DDD but I can't fill a DDD bra so either wear a D or a DD far better than squeezing them into an H cup because I couldn't find a J cup. I love having perky breasts and mine really haven't dropped (if I put a pencil underneath it drops to the floor). These are the breasts that I wished I had in high school. My biggest regret is that I didn't have the surgery sooner. My breasts are by no means perfect - I prefer the shape of the left one - it is slightly more pointy and rounder where the right one is slightly wider. I am very pleased with the way the nipples turned out - although the right one is slightly off center. All in all, I have no complaints.
If someone who is reading this is considering surgery my biggest advice would be to arm yourself with pictures of breasts that you like and make sure that your surgeon understands the size YOU want - they are your breasts and you are the one who has to live with them. If the surgeon seems at all wary of what you want go to another surgeon. I have read many complaints about surgeons who seem to not want to give women C cups. I am pleased with my rather large size because I have a large frame but I know some people would still consider them large.
I take good care of my breasts - when I work out I make sure I wear a heavy duty bra (Panache) and I massage bio oil in every evening. I also massage them in the shower which helped break up some lumps that I had after surgery - thankfully, the lumps are now gone.
My only complaint is that I never really got my energy back. I used to work out five days a week and at a high intensity and I was walking nine to 10 miles a day. Now I have to force myself to work out and instead of spending time in the gym I have been spending it in the pool because I find it easier.
My new year's resolution is to force myself to go to the gym - I have gained 10 pounds since the surgery in that was on top of the 15 pounds that I wanted to lose right after the surgery - so now I have to lose 25 pounds. Wish me luck - I am going to London and Paris with one of my sisters in March and I would love to be able to buy myself a dress but I need to lose the weight first.
I am going to try to add photos and I am also adding a couple of photos of my new Irish surroundings - I am in the wilds of northern Donegal.
Best wishes to all of you in the new year!

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
15 Old Loudon Rd., Latham, New York
I think Dr. Rockmore is a great doctor. I could have my pick of NYC surgeons and I decided to go to Albany to have my breast reduction. I think he is an excellent surgeon and highly recommend him to anyone having plastic surgery done.
