WORTH IT
9 weeks post op - healing has been great...absolutely no issues at all and no spitting stitches. Scars are looking great and the shape has settled really well. I'm back to doing everything I did pre-op but with much, much, much more confidence and no back pain!!!

I am so glad you were able to get rescheduled. Wow for all the swelling and the rash you had earlier on your boobs at 9 weeks look fantastic. Are you down to a C cup now? I bet your back pain is gone isn't it? Unfortunately my March 21st surgery was canceled and I am still waiting for a biopsy which will be on May 8th, 6 weeks after my surgery was canceled. At this rate I may have my surgery rescheduled for some time in the early summer, that is if the biopsy doesn't reveal something is wrong. The insurance company and the Doctors couldn't seem to decide if approval was needed for this biopsy or not. I hope the results are fast as I can't imagine recovering in this Florida Summer heat. The waiting has been getting to me. Plus the excess skin hanging to my belly button is driving me crazy. Keep going strong your looking really great!

You are looking fantastic! I hope my results will be like yours minus the rash and the blistering you had. You have a great shape and the scars are healing really well.
Yes spongieuk I got my results back on the 10th and it is benign no cancer. Once the breast surgeon (who had to refer me to have the biopsy) releases me and sends the result to the plastic surgeon and they ask for insurance approval again (as the surgery was not done in the allocated time span) then the breast reduction will be rescheduled. Unfortunately, I doubt that it will be done in May, more likely sometime in June. But at least we now know there is no cancer to deal with, so that is a positive thing. Thanks for asking.

That's great. I am so glad you are recovering well. I had some itchiness which bothered me for about a month. It's very annoying at the time. You must be so pleased. Well done. It does take a bit of a leap of faith (even though you have always wanted it done). You look really good.

Day 20

It's been a long road so far, not because of the wounds/incisions but because of the allergic reaction to the surgical tape. It is now all over my body apart from my face and the itching is insane!! Doctor has now put me on oral steroids to reduce the rash...fingers crossed it clears up soon so I can get on with healing. Photo taken purposely in low lighting so I can look objectively without the angry red rash...still swollen and boxy and sometimes I look at them and think they still look huge, until I look at my comparison photo x

Day 14

Well it's been 2 weeks since the op and I've had some ups and downs. Had my dressings removed on Day 10 and the cause of my insane itching was revealed....I had a severe allergic reaction to the dressings and tape! The incisions themselves are healing nicely, but I have an angry red rash all over my boobs. It's also made my whole skin super sensitive and have a rash on my face and neck too :(

I have been given some steroid cream and emollient cream and body wash and am just using gauze under my bra with no tape at the moment as I'm leaking a lot of serous fluid.

My boobs look like they've done 10 rounds in a boxing ring, they're red and inflamed, they have a weird crease in the cleavage...but I absolutely love them!!!!
