4 Days Post Op, I Still Can't Believe I Have "Little Boobs"! - Boston, MA

Ever since high school I have been well endowed, 34DD. I am a mother of 2 grown children, (both breastfed) I am 46 years old, 5'6" and 143 lbs. I have always thought about having a reduction, but over the last 2-3 years it has become a constant thought. I don't know if it's due to the fact that I've had neck and back problems for most of my life, or because I keep finding myself tucking my shirt inside the underwire of my bra to alleviate the pain. (this look is pretty embarrassing when you walk into a store forgetting all about it!) Well I just went ahead and had a consultation, spur of the moment, expecting my insurance to deny me. One week later I got the call it was approved! I scheduled my surgery right then on the phone for 3 weeks later. Pre op appointment was uneventful, as I am so darn healthy I didn't need any blood work, just signed the consent forms and left. My surgery was Monday 8/5, and went off without a hitch. My PS was able to do the lollipop technique so I don't have the horizontal scars. I went from a droopy D+ to a perky B. (I hope after the swelling goes down, it's hard to tell now) At 48 hours I took a shower that was the scariest part, carefully removing the gauze and seeing my little frankenstein boobs! They look very tight and bruised all over, which I expected with all the swelling. What was actually shocking was the shape of my new aureolas! They aren't exactly round, more like little oval stop signs. I am assuming as time goes on with more healing they will become rounder? Anyone? Either way, I need to put this into perspective, If someone told me I could have a nice little size B, but completely loose both nipples, I still would have gone for it! I hated my boobs for so many reasons, and I'm just over the moon given this opportunity to live without the pain! I can't wait to try on a swimsuit, go bra shopping, wear a skinny strap tank top, wear a halter style dress, a button down blouse, go BRALESS!!

8 days and I love them! Look I can wear a skinny strap tank top. :)
