WORTH IT
I can hardly believe it’s been six months. Mostly because I feel like these have always been my breasts. Is that crazy?!
They feel fantastic and the scars are healing really well. I still have a couple of spots that are more “puckered” than others. I had the opportunity this past weekend to receive a skin pen and PRP treatment for a significant reduction as a demo for a training for nurses. It didn’t really hurt (numbing cream) and I’m excited to see the results. I go back in 30 and 60 days...the nurse said 3 treatments is more effective than a single. I’ll let everyone know how that goes, too. I don’t think I could have done it any sooner as the areas would have been too sensitive.
I still cannot believe I finally did this. AND I cannot recommend it enough. I also learned that mindset plays a huge role here, in ease of recovery. If in the weeks leading up to it, you’re terrified of something going wrong and playing through worst case scenarios, maybe hold off until you’re in a better place. I had no fears, no anxiety...I was just SO excited to be a candidate. Someone asked me if I was “getting nervous” and all I could say was that it hadn’t occurred to me to be nervous. I know someone else (same surgeon and hospital) who was very nervous, played some “what if things go bad” scenarios and didn’t have the best time. I just can’t help but wonder if she set her body up for it...worry weakened her body’s defenses or something.
Keep focused on the desired outcome ladies!!! Flawless procedure. Uncomplicated. Ease of recovery. Lightning fast healing. All good things.

I am 5'6" 130 lbs, WAS 32DDD and just had my surgery 8 days ago with the goal of going down to 32B. As of now I am very swollen around the ribcage making me more of a 34 but I am definitely a full C cup. Has your cup size gone down as you've healed? I hope I still have hope to go down to a B cup after the healing.

To be honest, I don’t even wear a bra so don’t know what size I am. I have a couple of bralettes (which are size S, M, L so not helpful). I know that I didn’t feel like they changed much but other people would notice. So my husband would maybe comment that they looked less swollen because they didn’t look as hard anymore. Seeing them every day made it tougher for me to notice subtle changes.
Sorry I’m not more helpful.

I'm hoping to not have to wear a bra ever again pretty soon! Thanks for your help :)

Dang! Time flies!
Went to FL for the annual company trip in January and wore swimsuits without having to worry about the girls falling out in front of the hubby's boss...WINNER WINNER!
I bought a couple of cute bralettes. I go braless a LOT and it feels so ahhhh-mazing.
My incisions look fantastic. I've been doing a few things to help out. I have no idea how much of a difference it makes doing it versus if I hadn't because I did it. I take a liquid collagen supplement I get through a friend to help supply my body with what it requires to heal. I use a collagen moisturizer that I got from the salon where I go to have red light therapy several times a week on my boobs for 15 minutes a session. I also have a quantum healing technology app that I set for skin and inflammation to help on a quantum level.
My surgeon said at my final appointment that my incision lines looked fantastic and the scarring would be very minimal at the end of healing (typically 6 months or so). I've noticed that certain areas are already where I have to REALLY look to see the line. So that's exciting.
My back feels better. My chiro said that the knots I used to have in my neck and shoulders are basically gone and the huge ropes I had down my spine are fading. I am having to RE-learn how to stand and sit after YEARS of crappy posture. She rarely even adjusts my neck anymore. The shifting in my posture keeps me going for adjustments every so often but she mostly works on my soft tissues to help lessen the strain of all the relearning.
I feel great. I ran out to the car the other night...like, actually ran. I didn't even hold them! It's been amazing! I've literally told everyone who asks..DO IT!!!

I am a 38g and this makes me so excited. I was always told that we couldn't go more than 3 cups down but you are a testimony to otherwise. You're healing amazing and they look great! I can't wait to be braless! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! I’m loving the no bra and warm weather we’re heading into. I almost never wear one now.

Amazing results. You are very lucky in terms of healing...I had a breast lift in May and my scars are HORRIBLE.

It wouldn’t let me add these to the update. The other side the file is too big...weird since taken exactly the same but it will only let me post this pic for the update. The right side looks even better than this one.

I didn’t even ask BUT when I had my consultation, she mentioned removing 200g and that would put me at a full C cup, at which point I asked if I could be smaller. So I’d say over 200g but don’t know for sure. I do have a follow up at the end of the month so I’ll try to ask.

So when I asked how much she removed, she came back and said, "Just a little over a pound." I was like, "WHAT?! :( When you say it like that, it doesn't sound like much."

Thank you for sharing, looks great! I am of a similar frame and figured I would not be covered (my mom wasn't when she had her reduction) but I will try anyway!
