Post weeks post, 2nd revision
Well here I am, two weeks and 1 day after my second revision. Feeling pretty good. Working hard, at my desk at home, so nothing too physical but I have an insane work deadline I need to keep to. Which is good, keeping me focussed, stopping me obsessing about my boobs during recovery.
So, the boobs - well I had my dressings off on Monday. Surgeon is pleased, incisions healed nicely, a lot of bruising on the right side that he wants me to keep an eye on (in case of a haematoma I think) but he didn't seem too concerned but stressed again the risks of complications were higher second time around and that I shouldn't start exercising for 6 weeks from now, so 8 weeks in total. I shall be so unfit and flabby by then! Am walking my dogs though so thats great, love a bit of fresh air.
They are very tender, very hard, very high and a very weird square shape. I don't think the pictures show just what a strange shape they are. But they are small :-) Yesterday I brought a size 12 fitted shirt. That's a US 8 I think? And guess what? It fitted like an absolute glove, no gaping, no bra on show through the popping and bursting buttons. This feels amazing to be fair, I'm really bursting with excitement that finally my top half matches my bottom half, after all these years. my boobs feel NORMAL for me. And that is all I really wanted. Happy days.

One week post revision surgery
My surgery was a week ago, and today I'm spending my first day at home on my own. Feeling pretty good, emotions have been very up and down but the rational part of my brain know that that is what general anaesthetic does to me. It makes me feel blue. THe sun is shining and I know going outside, sitting in the garden, going for a little walk, etc. will really lift my mood.
In terms of my breasts, I just don't know yet how different they will be. Still swathed in dressings, lots of weird crazy bruising spreading out over the top and round under my arms. Very attractive. They don't feel smaller to be honest, they feel quite hard and swollen, but definitely less hard and swollen than after my fist surgery. I feel very optimistic. I suspect I will not have small boobs but they will be a huge improvement from the J cup I started out at. I am hoping I will be an E cup realistically. And I think that will be perfect for me. I cannot wait to get back to exercising properly. I feel good when my body feels fit and strong, and having smaller boobs is going to be so brilliant for getting fitter.
In terms of the risks and complications, my surgeon was at pains to stress the risks associated with breast reduction are slightly higher with a second reduction - so there is more chances of tissue necrosis, losing a nipple, etc. But so far so good. I have full sensation still in both nipples. I feel good, I'm fit and healthy, don't smoke and have a good diet, and as long as I am sensible I can't see that there should be any recovery problems.
A few pictures with this post - to be honest I cannot see that they look any different than the same time after the first surgery, but they must be a bit as he took out another 350g. I am so grateful my surgeon was prepared to perform a second reduction, I know he has tried his very best and has now made me as small as he can safely do so with risk of losing a nipple or compromising on breast shape. So I am feeling super contented that I made the right decision to do this again. I am so looking forward to getting on with life.

Mini update
Had my second surgery this morning and came out the other side no problem. Always a relief!!
A mini update to say I feel good, bit drowsy and having my first food for 24hrs. Am starving suddenly
My surgeon came to see my just now amd said he’s happy. He didn’t take much, 180g from one side and 15Og from the other. I trust him that he did what he could and the results will be an improvement. Watch this space!
