Extremely Worth It - My back feels great and am able to do more now

WORTH IT
Around 12 years old my breasts developed rapidly and I was a DD by the end of 6th grade and they grew more and more over time. This gave me lots of back issues which led me to gain a lot of weight due to lack of excess because the back pain was so bad at times. Last year when I turned 21 I weighed about 230lbs and my bra size was 42H/42I so I decided to try and get a breast reduction. On March 7th 2023 I had my surgery and it was the best choice I ever made. My back feels great and am able to do more now. I have never had surgery that I can remember but I do have a scar on my chest from open heart surgery I had as an infant so I thought I was prepared to see the results for the first time after the breast reduction. But when I first took off my bandages 48 hours after surgery to take a shower the bruising, swelling and mostly the nipple area threw me off a little and I felt a little faint seeing it all due to it being a little overwhelming but didn’t regret getting the surgery and I still don’t. My incisions have healed so well and my back pain is gone allowing me to do more things that I want. I was between a 42H and 42I right before my surgery and I am now a 42D.

I’m so glad you’ve gotten the relief that you badly needed honey. Just curious though, why is there no information about who your doctor or surgeon was??

Yes I am! At first I was nervous seeing it but after so many months of them healing they look similar to what they did before the surgery

I had my surgery on March 7, 2023 and it is now October 9, 2023 7 months later and I could not be happier with the results. My back pain has completely gone away and the scarring on my breasts have healed nicely. I had some keloid scarring (which runs in my family) around the 3rd or 4th month but most of it has reduced. Some of the keloiding is still noticeable mostly around the nipple area but as time passes the scars have flattened more. The surgeon had to take more out during the surgery on the right side of my breast which left a small incision that has also healed nicely. The surgery has helped me greatly and wish I had gotten it years ago.
