Before and After
I tried on the 34DDD bra my friend bought me last year. Before the reduction, I couldn't squeeze into them at all! Now it fits (loosely, of course) but it was still fun to see the difference!

Can finally buy bras!
So I finally went bra shopping, and it turns out I'm actually a 34DD. The pink lace bralette is a 34D and didn't quite give me full coverage. The black bra in the pictures is a 34DD and it fits so perfectly. The drains you can see are not from the breast reduction, they are from a different procedure I had done yesterday so I'm in a fair amount of pain. I cannot be happier with the way my breasts turned out. They are perky and have a very natural shape, and I can actually get bras inside a regular store like Walmart. I was hoping for something between a C or D cup, but honestly, I feel like the size they turned out to be fit my body shape very well and I love them.

I didn't laugh but I know how "rude/ugly" a lot of people can be. I think you did a good job looking sexy. You have a nicely shaped and size breast. I wonder if you'll stay a DD. You'll have to keep us posted online. Enjoy the smaller size and less heaviness for me. I envy you there. Have a kind day. ~with respect, a mom in Indiana~

Haha! Well originally the photo was just for my husband...so I didn't take it with a larger audience in mind. I think I am a full D, but during that time of the month they probably swell a little to DD. They just feel so small in comparison to what they used to be, it is hard picturing them as "Ds" which are supposed to still be "large". When I spoke with my surgeon, she said they fit my body shape perfectly and that is definitely how it feels. I will upload more pictures and updates as time goes on to see how the size changes, if at all. Thank you!

Hahaha, well thank you, I honestly wasn't intending to share that photo but I know so many women and mothers feel less like "women" when their breasts are reduced, or if they need to be reconstructed. I was scared that they would feel too small or that I might regret it, but had a moment of just feeling so good about myself and "sexy" that I wanted to share. Not share myself, exactly, but that's definitely possible to feel attractive afterwards!

So true! I never liked to be seen nude before BR, but now I walk around my bedroom topless. So much more confidence! It really is a great feeling.

Thank you so very much for showing the pictures! I go in for my surgery August 23 and will be down sizing from a 34 I, to whatever, I don't know just yet. I was thinking a 34D, but the 34DD looks great on you!

Feeling Okay
My breasts are starting to hurt less, though I have the scar and bruising from the drain tube after my hematoma evacuation, which still hurts quite a bit. I still don't fit into the C cup size cotton sport bra (it is so tight I can barely get it to close) so I am not sure if I still have swelling or if I'm just a very full C / low D. Either way I am happy with the size and shape. My nipples aren't quite the same size and shape, but I honestly don't mind because they weren't the same size or shape before, and at least now they are closer. My nipples feel very sensitive and I had very minor bleeding from my left nipple area after the drain tube was pulled out. Been using bacitracin on the incisions as instructed. I am so glad I had this procedure done! I weight about ten pounds more than the morning of the surgery, but my regular doctor says it's because I had the hematoma evacuation, which put extra stress on my body and meant about three days of IV fluids into my system. I feel bloated, especially in my stomach and thighs, but that should go down once my body decides it's ready.

I just had breast reduction on the 9 th of December I'm about 13 day out now
They took 497 off of each breast for me and I was a 34g to me it's seems I'm still a dd ( well not a full dd but close enough and I wanted to be a small d)uuuuggg lol
I was just curious cause I read ur profile and they took way less from you on each breast
Do u think that maybe u will be bigger than a d with as little as they took out for you ?i just don't understand if they took more from me why would I wouldn't be smaller than u then ? I know I have a small rib cage depends I can go a 32-34 weigh my weight fluctuation
I love my boobs but wish a size smaller for me at least

Honestly a portion of my size was sag and hang and skin, but they also didn't say for sure what my after size would be. They guessed a full C or D, but it was hard to tell between the swelling and the hematoma, and the C stretch cup is way too small still. So I very well could be a full D. But I suspect they took less to achieve my size because part of my size was excess skin rather than breast tissue. Like you, my band size is anywhere from 32-34 depending on my weight or the brand. I feel bigger than a C right now for sure, and one breast was larger than the other. I would say look at my before pictures and you can see how much hang I had compared to breast tissue.

You look great! I had surgery the same day as you and I'm experiencing all of the same things - bras too tight, bloating, weight gain... I also noticed my bra was too tight last night at bedtime, but this morning it felt fine. So definitely more swelling during the latter part of the day. I'm a 34 band size and the 34 and 36 (same bra as you) were too tight. Too much compression and squeezing me. I had to go up to some L and XL seamless pull overs. I think because my bottom scars are super sensitive still. I was a 34G, but thinking I'll be a full C or D now. Seems right for my frame size. Regardless of your cup size, your new size looks great on your frame!

your nipples will soften as time goes by all the wrinkles will disappear it happened to me too. I had my surgery 8 weeks ago and all my wrinkles are gone...they just look weird because they are healing so don't worry. You look great ! happy healing

Amazing results. I’m same size as you and having one done next year it was great to see your results.
