WORTH IT
As you can see, I still have a few open areas. It's frustrating. I have to be out and do things, but when I wear a bra, the opening gets worse. One side is almost completely sealed. It's just hard to not be in control. I'm also fairly sore and bruised feeling most of the time. I frequently have to remind myself this is not a simple operation. The good part is that my back and neck feel amazing! I find that I can focus better without all the tension in my shoulders. I can stand and walk longer without pain. My posture is improving. The way I walk is simply easier. So, all the frustration is temporary and soon will be in the past. I will try to get to more pics soon.

I am 5 months post op and I have days where I hate my boobs and days I don’t...it changes a little everyday, and the healing takes a long time, more for some than others. This past week I got that tight feeling around my chest again, and everything got hard and uncomfortable. Some gals on here were good to go after a week or two, but not me! My doc told me to be patient, some of us have a bigger surgery, with more manipulating by the surgeon, and that impacts how we recover. Also I find that the anesthetic takes awhile to completely leave your body, causing hormonal ups and down...crying jags, sadness, etc...this will pass. I have had 8 surgeries, so I know from experience. I had an area that opened around week four, and took over two months to close...very discouraging. But it finally has closed and I can get on with scar treatment and no more dressing changes. It will all get better, I promise... be kind to yourself.

I actually hate taking these pictures. But, I'm so damn curious to see what's going on. I still have some leakage from a couple places, and I wanted to see if anything was closing up. I keep having these visions of everything breaking lose and having an alien pop out. The sooner I can see the closures, the better. But for now... More Frankenstein-boob.
I'm also hoping they round out without looking droopy. Cause they ain't looking so hot.

They will change a lot in the next few weeks. I am 3 months post op and I still have a love/hate relationship with my girls...sometimes I feel I look great, other times I think what did I do? But it will get better.

Looking back

I'd been teases and sexualized for having large breasts since I was 10. All my friends older brothers loved me. In Jr High I had sat in the first row for the first time and had a male teacher lose his train of thought during a lecture after looking at my chest. This was just the norm. The difficulty in growing up with large boobs is my than physical. I have beautiful blue eyes and most men don't even know it. I wish I had done this in my twenties. But I'm happy that I can move forward.
