Breast Reduction - 36G to D - Early 20’s, 1 child.

1 month after surgery, scarring has gotten better and all feeling is back to normal. I’m able to wear clothes without bras comfortably now. Still massaging with oils everyday to help the scars get less visible.

I’m almost 2 weeks post-op. I got my stitches out. I’ve been using a scar gel my surgeon gave me and massaging with some oils in the picture. I feel my breasts have gotten a lot softer. The scars underneath and on the side of my breast is feeling much softer. I think massaging is helping to break down the scar tissue. I feel like my right breast is healing a little better than the left, both scars and around the nipple. The left nipple is scabbing a little but, nothing crazy. And I still haven’t got full feeling back in my left nipple so my nipples look a little asymmetrical.But overall I’m very pleased with how it’s healing so far. Can’t wait to see my results after a few months.

My recovery has been amazing. I was expecting to be in so much pain but honestly it’s more of a sore feeling than pain. I got my drains removed four days after my surgery. After they were removed I felt so much better. I’m able to take a shower by myself. The sticky gauze is starting to peel off my nipple so I’m finally able to see the areola, I’m so excited. My surgeon did such an amazing job. My breasts were not symmetrical before so I’m excited to have these new perky breasts that look exactly the same. After I got my drains out I’ve been out and about. I went for a 1.5 mike walk yesterday. I’m an avid jogger, so I can’t wait to get back jogging but doing a normal paced walk was the first step. I’m now wearing a racer back sports bra from New Balance. I still haven’t gone shopping for regular bras so I don’t know my exact bra size yet but I did get a few sports bras from Marshall’s. Over my recovery has been so much easier than I imagined. I was so nervous going into this but it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve tried on some dresses that I already own and my body looks so different in them. I love my new breasts and my husband does too. I got a lift with my Reduction so my breasts look better than they did before I had a child.
I got the lollipop incision with a little horizontal incision ( not a full anchor). The stitches around my areola will be removed in a few days and the rest are dissolvable. If anyone has any questions about the procedure please feel free to message me. I know how it feels to be on here reading so many reviews and being so nervous but if you’re topheavy like I was, you won’t regret this decision!
