65 Years Young and Finally Getting my Reduction! Boston Modified Robertson Technique.

I finally decided to go through my drawers and get rid of the thousands of dollars of bras I have purchased over the years. The only thing that makes me feel less bothered by the terrible expense of supporting giant breasts for years and years is that I no longer have to wear these! They are being donated to a local nursing home, where I am assured they will find happy users. I have a big of a giggle picturing some of the older ladies in the bras that are not so utilitarian but more sexy!

I am 3 months post op and all is well. There are times, now that I am spoiled with these smaller breasts, that I wish they were even smaller. When I think about where I was when I started, though, I tell myself to knock it off--they are drastically different. Plus, I also need to remind myself that taking off too much might have compromised the breast tissue and blood supply, not to mention nipple health. My nipples are every bit as sensitive as they were before and one is even more so. The breasts have settled a bit--no longer as firm and high as they were--but they feel very natural. The cars are still a bit red, but are completely flat. Just waiting for them to fade.

I had a relaxing and enjoyable summer, which translates to "good food and good wine." And THAT translates to the fact that I didn't lose the extra weight that I wanted to. So now that fall is around the corner, I have to get some religion on that diet.

I am supposed to see my PS at the 3 month mark, so I need to make that appointment. I have no issues, so it will most likely be routine ands brief. I would like to ask her about a tummy tuck for after I lose the weight.

It's approximately 2 months now since my surgery. Healing has proceeded nicely and my new breasts finally feel like MY breasts. For a long time they felt like appendages of sorts. Now they seem to have settled nicely onto my chest and they feel familiar! Nipple sensation is good, if not better than when I had giant breasts. I find this to be so odd, but I Like it. I occasionally feel a zinger or two, or an odd pain here and there, but it's not lasting. Overall, they are barely tender, if at all.

I allowed myself to go swimming yesterday, which was the first real exercise I have had since the surgery. It felt so good to be moving more. In the fall, I guess I'll return to the gym again. I don't suspect weights will be an issue. Got to lose that weight! next goal: the tummy tuck!
