A 19 Year Old's Journey Through Breast Reduction - Chelmsford, MA

Here are some photo's from today, I am four months and four days post-op. I got my nipples pierced at one month three weeks and five days post-op.

Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to abandon this site by any means, but I was having computer trouble and didn't want to wrestle with the mobile site! As of January 14th, I'm FOUR MONTHS POST OP! I can't even believe it, the time has seriously flown by. Over these past four months I've learned so much about my body since the reduction and it is still ever-changing.

To kill the normal questions: I have no feeling in either breast (but I'm not bother by it), the scarring gets better and better every day, and I honestly don't remember much of what it feels like to have large breasts! My new size is officially a 34C.

If you would like I'd be more than happy to update some photos for you all! And I'm looking for ward to reading your comments and answering your questions. I'll be keeping this site updated now, as my computer is finally fixed!

xoxo, McKayla

Today I am one week post op, and have so much to share, and plenty of pictures as well! I had to stay in the hospital a few nights, because the doctors were having a lot of trouble managing my pain. I was discharged on Wednesday (my surgery was monday), and have had a lot of time to gather my thoughts this week as far as what to fill you guys in on!

After being discharged from the hospital, I was sent home pretty heavily sedated. I dont remember much of the first night home because all I did was sleep. My pain scale wasn't too bad. I could hardly feel a thing, the medication I was on was my best friend! I took my first shower when I got home that day. I had to use a shower chair and my sister needed to assist me. It was pretty difficult so if showering is your main concern (as it was mine), make sure you have someone at your house that you're comfortable with enough to let them bathe you.

The rest of the week breezed by nicely. My pain medication kept everything under control, though I couldn't really eat much because the medication had (and still has me) backed up. Thursday I got my drain plugs removed! And no, it's not as scary as you think it would be. Most of the reviews I've read on here say that the pain was unbearable, but I honestly did not feel a thing. All I felt was a small tug, and they were gone!

I also have absolutely no feeling in my left breast. My right breast has only a bit of feeling and I have none in my left. But the doctor said that's something that'll sort itself out!

Since Friday, a lot of my steri strips have been falling off, and I got back thursday to have Dr Smith remove any of the extras that are left on. Also since the weekend started, I feel a lot itchier, I believe the cuts are not starting to scab over. I'll keep you all updated. I'll also be attaching pictures to this post!

McKayla, xo.
