Time for a New ME! -Australia
After having large breasts since they first...
After having large breasts since they first developed (DD when I was 16), last year I finally took the step to see a surgeon to get rid of my G cup breasts.
I had a waiting list of 10 months, under private health care in Australia. My operation was March 26, 2013. My surgeon has taken me from a G, to hopefully a C once all is healed and settled down.
I'm 27 now, and really wish I had of had this surgery years ago. I feel like I have gotten a whole new lease on life, and already feel so much more confident.
What really pushed me into making the decision was the pain I was in from carrying around my breasts each day. My neck and shoulders requires a massage weekly, plus heat packs at night after work. The best part of my day was coming home and taking my bra off!!!
I can not wait to start buying pretty bras from the likes of Target even, and the lingerie stores. No longer having to order ugly white, cream or black bras from online. I can finally have pretty colored ones!!! And bathers, that's a whole other story. Having to buy a specially made bikini top to go under a special "big girls" swim top just so I would have the support for a paddle around in the water. And sports bras, what a joke. No such thing for big boobs!
I can't wait to go out on the town with my friends, to meet and chat to new people, guys in particular without thinking in the back of my mind "does he really want to talk to me or my boobs?"
I know breast feeding may not be an option, but I'm fine with that.
I'm looking forward to starting my new journey in life with my new boobs (once they have settled down of course!)
If I had seen a private plastic surgeon, I could have had this done almost straight away. But the cost was almost $10 000. (AU $). I decided to wait, as it worked out much cheaper for me, and my private health insurance covered a lot of it.

Day 10 post op. Stitches removed yesterday. All...
Stitches removed yesterday. All healing well my surgeon said. Apart from 2 points of break down at the t junction. They are the size of a cotton bud head and not worth worrying about or a dressing the nurse told me. But I am still worried! I had tape over the under side incision site still. And the incision under my nipples.
Was able to have my first shower this morning, what bliss!
Still bruised and swollen. Praying like crazy my wound break down doesn't get any worse!
Am loving the new boobs, even in their swollen, messy state.

Day 13. Tomorrow marks 2 weeks since surgery! Time...
Last 2 days I've been feeling very swollen and achey. Also a lot more of the zingers, and a few jolts of pain every now and then. Nothing that some ibuprofen doesn't fix.
Hopefully the tape over my incisions can come off soon. Have been praying the 2 points of break down have healed up, or haven't got any worse.
Looking forward to getting out of these little crop top bras. My surgeon has told be to continue to wear them until my next visit to him later in April.
I'm really hanging out to go bra shopping!
Bruising is finally starting to disappear. I have over done it the last few days, going out shopping and visiting friends. Am also feeling a lot more tired even though I'm sleeping better at night now.
Welcome to the community! Oh my goodness that is a very big change in size! You will feel so amazing once you are all healed and back in full swing.
