6 months post op and 10" smaller around overall!
Since getting the go ahead from my surgeon to resume exercise, I hired a personal trainer and I've been doing high intensity interval training three times a week. I haven't lost any weight, but that wasn't my intention. I've been focusing on taking control of my body back and building lean, toned muscle. I am so happy to be free to lift weights, run, and do so many different hobbies I never enjoyed before. I'm sharing a before and after pic of my journey so far!

7 weeks post op! Finally at a consistent bra size
I'm at 7 weeks now and I seriously cannot be happier with my size. I am soooo happy I went through with this procedure :)
I picked up a few new bras over the past few days at Target and Marshall's for like $6 bucks each. I couldn't believe the price! I'm comfortably fitting into a 38C and a 36D. I'm happy to be able to fit into a C cup sister size now. It has opened up a whole new world of bra shopping opportunities!
I did have an issue with the joint incision on the bottom of my left breast a few weeks ago. Apparently it is a normal thing to happen and it didn't really even hurt. I wore Vaseline on the spot with a bandaid for a few weeks and now it's all better :)
I saw my surgeon last week and he was super happy with the results, too. I don't even have to go back to see them until after the holidays and even then, they said it would be only for pictures :) I'm so excited!!

5 weeks!
I'm at 5 weeks and couldn't be happier! I don't really remember life before he surgery at all. I've been loving shopping even more than before and I'm able to wear normal bras, even underwire. My fave are the stretchy wireless t-shirt bras from VS!

I wanted to let you know how much your review has helped me in my breast reduction journey. I also live in Charlotte and am a patient of Dr. Kortesis. I will be 1 week post op tomorrow!! I have read your post over and over and it eased so much of my anxiety. We have very similar body types and backgrounds. I am ecstatic about my results so far and hope to have as smooth of a recovery as you seemed to have. You look amazing! Thank you for posting and giving so much detail. If you are ever interested in a breast reduction friend let me know, it would be fun to swap stories. :)
