Recent breast reduction . Two days post surgery ....
WORTH IT$6,500
Recent breast reduction . Two days post surgery . Pain meds at work .
Have been wanting to do this for 8+ years . Dying to take a peek ! Waiting to change out gauze and compression garment til this afternoon .
I have always had large breasts . After childbirth and breast feeding 2 children , they weren't going anywhere but South . Everyday , I couldn't wait to get home and take off my bra. Had severe pain in upper back / neck and deep grooves in shoulders. Insurance was difficult and would not approve - they wanted me to resubmit pre approval in August . I decided to bite the bullet and pay out of pocket . I was mentally prepared to go through with surgery . That seemed like a perfect time to go through with it .

I am loving my new reduced size . Can't wait to be all healed up and enjoy this summer of lighter breasts.
The surgeon removed over 5lbs of breast tissue . What a huge relief.

You look great! I'm 10 days out and my new smaller perkier breasts are now starting to change shape and not be soo cone like. Be prepared for slight changes in shape. My boyfriend laughs at me cause I'm trying on things I haven't worn in years. I'm thrilled to be able to wear bikini tops that would have way to obscene before. Your gonna love them even more as time goes on!!! Happy healing and have fun with your new wardrobe!

Wow your PS did a great job! Your new size and shape look great. I have less than 2 weeks to go and am a bit nervous. Looking at results like yours, is very reassuring to me. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a speedy and smooth recovery.

Went for my 1 week check and to have drains and surgical tape removed last Thursday . Those drains were really starting to get unconfortable - especially as I took less n less pain meds. I was terrified of the removal part , but it was literally painless . The tape removal was a tad ouchy but really fine .
I did actually freak out a bit when I saw all the stitches that had been hidden by tape . Dr said those stitches are to be removed this upcoming Thursday . Haven't taken a new pic , but will try before stitch removal .
Not taking pain meds for a few days now . Feeling human but certainly not able to jump around or bend over forward - lol.
More than anything , I am just loving the fact that I look a billion times smaller in tops than I did before ! It is amazing how much of a difference of appearance I have with smaller perkier boobies ! LOVE LOVE LOVE this part of it .
And no back , neck , shoulder pain like I used to have .
Downside this week : lost of bruising , turning dark and crazy tender to palpation this last few days . Started taking arnica Montana & Bromelain yesterday to see if it helps a bit?
I have been drinking crazy amounts of water .Can't imagine not staying super hydrated through all this ! The hubby has been buying me the big bags of Sonic ice , to make my water yummy and cold :)
All in all , feel very blessed & happy about making the decision to finally have this reduction !

sounds great, good to be off pain meds. bromelain needs to be taken on empty stomach between meals to be effective, but i think it is miraculous. your bruising will fade by the day, i am 4 weeks and it is 80% gone. look forward to the new photos.
