45 Year Old, Scheduled for Breast Reduction in September - Bath, GB

It's been just over 6 months since the op and I have to say that I'm really happy with my new boobs. It took a while because of the problems I had with my back but I've been slowly and steadily getting back into exercise which is so much easier now I'm no longer dragging around a pair of GGs!! I've also started losing a bit of weight (it was always the post-op plan to loose 15-20 pounds) so I think I'll end up a 30DD (I'm already finding my 32E bras quite big!) or even a 30D which works perfectly for me! I should probably mention that my scars haven't faded much yet but they don't look at all unpleasant so it doesn't bother me. (I suspect that another 6 months will make them even less noticeable). I should also say that even though I had major problems with my nipples they have both regained sensation and other than a few areas of slight discolouration you can't really tell there was an issue (thank goodness). My new breasts are not perfect - I keep thinking one is bigger than the other but it doesn't look it when I have a bra on! - but my old ones were even less so and the freedom/confidence I have gained from the operation is worth all the stress I went through!

I'm four and a half months post op now and I'm completely used to my new boobs. I'm wearing a 32E bra at the moment so I definitely still have an 'ample bosom' but I no longer feel self conscious - I just feel curvy. Plus I've only just started exercising again since my op, due to back problems, so I suspect I'll end up a DD at most which works for me. My scars haven't faded much yet but it doesn't really bother me like I thought it would. I feel better about my body than I have for years - I just need to put in the work to make the rest of it look good :)

I'm 8 weeks post-op tomorrow and I'm doing great. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he doesn't need to see me again for another 6 months which is fab. Considering a month ago I thought I might lose one or both nipples I can't believe how happy I am now with the results. The surgeon thinks I still have a bit of swelling but even though I thought at first that I was still too big I am very content with my current size. I haven't been measured yet but I suspect when I've lost the extra 10 pounds I still need to lose I'll end up a 30DD/E which is perfect as I like being curvy! I'm posting a few pics of what I look like today and how bad my left nipple was. Hopefully anyone who has similar post-op issues will feel a bit of hope that things can heal even when they look really bad.
