5 weeks post op
Well. The past 5 weeks have flown by. I consider myself so lucky that my healing and recovery has been uneventful. I kept waiting for a problem, expecting issues. Nothing. I'm not sure why the bruising isn't going away faster. The lipo issues have gone away.
Overall, I'm happy that I did this for myself.
I have to admit that I'm still a bit lopsided and I'm trying to talk myself into accepting it. If you have a similar situation, be clear to your ps to take this into consideration before completing the surgery. Seems mine took out too much from the small side and not enough from the larger. My niece had a reduction several years ago and has tried to ease my mind by explaining she underwent changes for up to 6 months. I'm trying to be positive, but still looking into possible remedies.
I go for my 6 week check up in 5 days and expect to be cleared for regular activity.
My best suggestions to anyone considering reduction is to do thorough research, have multiple ps consultations, prepare yourself for possible complications, have a positive attitude. The #1 reason to do this is for YOU.

3 weeks post op. SO HAPPY
Everything is great. Only a little snag....a de solvable stitch worked its way to the surface and had to be removed 2 days ago. Already healed.
No more bra at night, yippee! And next week back in regular bras, but no underwire. I've always worn under wires for support, so im not looking forward to spending much for only a few weeks. I have always liked sports bras, so I'm sticking with them. I did try on a couple to see what my new size is. I'm still swollen, but I think I got my ideal, a full C (from a E/DD).

2 weeks post op :)
Pretty good 2 weeks. Stopped pain pills (1 taken each night) after first week. Only an occasional Tylenol now. Breasts are softening, tape all off and incisions look good. Yesterday I stretched too high and pulled open a stitch and oozing started again, but stopped by morning. The only real discomfort is because of healing and tightness of incisions. I have tried wearing a sports bra and the overall stretch material has offered some relief on my sides from the lipo tenderness.
I'm very happy with my recovery and the results so far have exceeded my expectations. I didn't tell many folks about my surgery, but now I Want to show everyone that an old lady can have young boobs. I'm a happy grandma!
