My Reduction Story - 21yrs 30GG to 22yrs 34D☺

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I attended my 7 month check-up. Dr. Magnusson did a quick examination, confirmed that everything had healed well and told me that I don't need any follow-up appointments. The nurse then took some 'after' photos which I have edited into the 'before' photos, as you can see. Looking back on my 'befores', I can't quite believe I was that big. The pain and frustration is just a fading memory now. I can assuredly say I am 100% happy with the results and the whole thing was 100% worth it!

I haven’t written since 6 weeks because I’ve been busy living my new, open, expressive life :) Shortly after the last post, I went shopping with mum and bought 7 new bras in various styles and 5 new blouse tops. It was great!!!
So, in the boob department, everything’s back to normal. The numbness is slowly receding, there’s only a tiny lump now in the bottom of lefty, and the scares fade more every week. On hot and humid days at home I can go braless and not feel any discomfort at all (yeeaaahhhhh!!!!) and I can now confidently wear a dress. No one aside from my immediate family has noticed/commented on my change, but I feel so much better.
There is also this I want to share… I found this a week ago, and if anyone you know is not quite getting why you want a reduction, show them this video! It's called The Try Guys Wear Boob Weights For A Day; four guys go about a normal day (cleaning, excising, office work) with 6.6 pounds hanging on their chests. I think this should be included as mandatory education for men… I’m sort of kidding, see what you think...

This will probably be my last post.
Heartfelt thanks to all those other women and their inspiring stories, to my dad for supplying the finances, my mom for caring for me post-op and the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Special thanks to Dr Magnusson for caring and doing such a good job for me :)
Love to all,

The human body is amazing. I don’t know anywhere near as much about it as I would like, but observing the healing process has been an eye-opener. The incision lines are now completely smooth, with no tactile evidence that there was ever a cut there. The new skin that has formed is silky smooth and transparent, showing tiny blood vessel traversing the vertical and circular incision lines. The single stitch hole has also filled in with new tissue and blood vessels and now resembles a teensy pink flower. There is still a bruised patches where the skin is also numb, but I think they’re gradually fading.

There have been times when I catch myself slipping into old programming, preparing to hide my figure. There is a shop in town with big reflective windows overlooking the street and when I walked past it the first time after surgery, I glanced at my reflection like I always do, checking to make sure nothing’s bouncing too much. Except there wasn’t anything to bounce. And walking along the main street, I can look other commuters in the eye and stand with my back straight. I’m redefining my look, too. My old wardrobe is based purely around practicality and disguise. Now I can go shopping with a whole different mindset. I can even wear heels!
