54 5'1" 165 lbs was 36DD and loving the reduction

I am late with starting this post. Like everyone else, started developing at a young age (10). Was a B cup by middle school and graduated high school a D. At 5'1", breasts was all anyone saw. I am now 165 lbs and 36DD. Not as big as many here, but way bigger than my frame.
I went for a physical last summer. My GP told me that would need to get a 3D mammogram. For those of you who haven't had one, they are tortuous. I had lost weight that got me down to 165. I was a 40DDD at one time. the doc said I wouldn't lose much more since the remaining mass was tissue and not fat. I asked what I could so. He said, go smaller. That started the journey.

I first had a consult with Dr Ghaderi last fall. He was very thorough, making sure I was the surgery for the right reasons. At Christmas I scheduled for February 22nd. I had two appointments shortly before the surgery. Going over pre-op care, my stay in the hospital (I don't know how women do this and go home) and then post op care. He is very good had tamping down expectations. We never discussed a specific size or shape. He said he would set the size according to my frame size. Had the surgery on February 22nd.

One week ago changed my life. The care I received was superb. The back and neck pains are gone. I just got all of the apparatus removed. The surgeon is quite please with his work. I couldn't get a immediate post op pic. I was covered by a massive stretch gauze and tape. I will post a pic when I change the bandages tonight.
