3 months Post Breast Reduction & Ab Lipo

It’s been 3 months post the surgery. I’m definitely happy that had work done but there are still more days than not that I wish I’d stuck with my original thought of only getting a breast lift and liposuction. After three months, I still have issues with my breast being smaller than I preferred. It also doesn’t help that my left breast is still noticeably larger than my right. I thought it had been corrected but it seems that dominant titty just won’t relinquish its lifelong reign!

My incisions still have a tolerable itching sensation and I experience twinges of what can only be described as nipple pinching for a few seconds here and there. I usually just rub it out and be good to go. I’m hoping by a years time the incisions are less noticeable and I feel 100% normal. I ran out of the prescribed scar cream about 2 weeks ago so I am only using bio oil. Hopefully that will do the trick!

Over the weekend I bought my first bra. I kept it simple and purchased a $13 bra from Target. I wanted a 32D but couldn’t find one so I bought a 34C. It was loose around my body so I do believe a 32D would be perfect but I’m still gonna get fitted to be sure of my new size.

The liposuction is absolutely perfect. I can still feel tenderness in certain areas but no pain. I went from a size 6-8 to a size 4; i went from 140lbs down to 123lbs with proper dieting and some exercising. I definitely recommend that procedure.

As for a breast reduction, I’m happier with the results than with what I had before so i would recommend the procedure. I would definitely recommend Dr.Lofman. Just be certain of the size that you want because cup size in your head may not be the same on your body.

I’ll check back in at the 6 month mark to see if I finally get over the size issue and to show if the scarring is less noticeable. Pictures are attached..

6 weeks PostOp Breast Reduction

I finally made it to the 6 week mark. I have been using the scar treatment ointment since about mid third week. I haven’t noticed much of a difference but I’m going to continue to use it until the bottle is empty. I’m going to also purchase some Bio-oil. I only used the Scar strips for a little over a week. They moved around too much and was a bother as they had to be removed every 24 hours. They also fell off while sweating.

I still feel twinges of pain in my areoles. It mostly feels like someone is pinching my nipples. I often find myself rubbing my incisions in public, so I’m sure I look like a freak. LOL! I’ll be happy when that feeling is gone.

I went bra shopping this week. My PS instructed me not to wear underwire bras for at least 3 months so I just bought a few bralettes in size medium. So I’m still unsure of my bra size. But it was nice to wear something other than a sports bra for a change.

I posted a few pictures. I’m impressed with my results thus far. I do hope the incisions near my armpits lighten up but overall I’m becoming comfortable with the size. I imagined what I asked for in a large C/D to have been bigger than what I got but I’m satisfied with what I am. I know my husband is! LOL!

4 weeks PostOp BR & Lipo - Scar Treatment

It’s been almost 1 month down to the day of my surgery; April 16. I’m still pretty pleased with the healing process. I have noticed a few things that doesn’t seem perfect but I’m still reserving judgment for total recovery at around 3 or 6 months.
It seems that one breast is larger than the other. Prior to my surgery, my left breast was always bigger. It started developing before the right breast but it seems even post surgery that may still be the case. Also as my breasts start to settle it seems the scar will not be hidden by the crease of the breast folds, it looks as if the bottom of the anchor scar may be seen across the bottom half of my breast. I really hope that is not the case. I’m still waiting to see what happens as it may be that they are both still swollen. I can still see some bruising.I’m definitely using the topical ointment; Biocorneum, provided by my PS but I’ve also bought some Scar Away strips from Amazon. They had some good reviews on that site as well as RealSelf.
I’ve been so concentrated on my breasts that I haven’t brought a lot attention to my liposuction results. I had liposuction on my flanks and abs 4 weeks ago as well and I am really pleased with the results. I am still sore in some areas but nothing that limits me. I wear a compression garment some times but not as nearly as it was recommended. I regret that. There’s no telling what my results would have been had I followed the doctor’s advice. I’m not sure how much breast tissue was removed from my Reduction but I was a 32DDD. I’m also not sure how much fat was remove during liposuction but I feel lighter. Before surgery I was about 140lbs and 130lbs now. As you can see, liposuction only removed a little of the fluff but did nothing for the stretch marks or loose skin. I knew going in that a Tummy Tuck would be needed to remove those issues but I didn’t feel I needed that surgery. I was worried that removing extra fat would cause extra looseness to my abdomen skin but that doesn’t seem to be a problem. They say that it can take up to 1 year to fully see your liposuction results, I can’t imagine getting any smaller than this but I’ll keep you guys updated.
