WORTH IT
I posted in the wrong spot lol!
I am 5 weeks out. Everything is healed over and looking pretty darn good. I still have swelling in my lefty but has has gone down some. It actually has a little wiggle and jiggle finally. They are settling nicely and I am positive I am a 36C.
Today is the first day that I didn't notice my boobs, I mean, there was no pain at all so far. I finally feel like I have turned the corner :-). I also wore an underwires bra today with absolutely no problem. I think it was more comfortable than a sports bra. I still don't have any sensation in my left nipple, however at my last dr appointment, he reassured me that it was normal.

I am 4 weeks 1 day out and I am feeling pretty...

I am 4 weeks 1 day out and I am feeling pretty darn good! The girls are still tender but the discomfort is pretty minimal. I haven't taken anything at all for the last 3 days!!! I am also glad to report that I am wearing a real bra, not an underwire mind you, but a real bra in a 36C, not a huge 36G like before :-)
Everything is healing up really well. The very small opening on the T under my right breast is closed and scabbed. I have no bruising anymore at all, still a bit of swelling in the left. I started using Mederma for my scars today and rubbing it into the scars. It is weird because doing this I could feel little "pops" . I guess its normal and is the sound/feeling of breaking any remaining dissolvable stitches in the scar. One thing I noticed right away when doing this....my bumpy scar smoothed out in those places!
I am getting use to seeing my little girls finally. However, its funny because after the surgery I thought they were so small, now they look big to me! Overall I am super happy with my decision to have a reduction. It is hands down one of the very best decisions I have ever made.

Oh I forgot to add, I can get on the treadmill again! I am so happy to be able to exercise again. I'm not doing anything super intense, but I can walk at a moderate pace. I started doing walking intervals today with no problem! This makes me super happy because I lost the boobs and noticed the belly ;-p

Looking great!! Congratulations!! They look so good. I can't wait for mine!!!.question...why red on the three week pics? Is that from the compression from the bras? Looks like it. I'm wondering because I see some use certain bras and my PS said get a 3 pack from Walmart which doesn't sound supportive it I figure when I have Lil boobs they will work.lol. can't wait!!! Very happy for you!!!!!

Lol yes the red is from my surgical bra. I had just taken it off right before I took the pic

Oh and a note about sports bras, I couldn't use them until this week (week 4) because it just wasn't comfortable to me. I had bought 3 surgical bras and I worn them exclusively until about 3 days ago.

Yeah I was the same I kept switching back and forth between the bras. Now they don't bother me anymore so yay.
October 24, 2012

I'm following along with you on your journey and can relate to all the things you are experiencing. Did you start using the cream after all the scabs were gone?
