A year ago today, I had my breast reduction surgery. I could not be happier. I wish they were a little smaller but they look 100% better and I feel 100% better! I have had no complications. Every once in a while I still feel like I get zingers but they go away. Also, I have feeling in my nipples but different than before- hard to explain. If you are thinking about this surgery- don't think twice- this was the best decision I made EVER.

Soreness
prettyleaf83January 13, 2014
Has anyone experienced soreness around the scarring? I have been experiencing some soreness on my right side under the breast at the crease where my scar ends. I don't feel anything unless i touch it (I know... than don't touch it) but I don't think it's normal? I'm wondering if it may be scar tissue?

I've got a little extra skin under my right as well and I'm about 4months post op. I notice it stays pretty flat when I wear a sports bra with elastic that can lay over it..I'm thinking I will give it 2 more months to see if it fixes itself..Yours are beautiful!

I am almost 3 months post and I wish they were smaller but I'm still happy I did it and I would t go back! My right side still has a little extra skin and it won't go away. My scarring is very light and gets better every day. Has anyone else has problems with this extra skin or skin not "flattening"? I'm fitting into 36c bras so that is exciting- some D's still fit but at least I feel more comfortable in my own skin!

We are in the same boat. I have the extra skin underneath but my surgeon is going to remove it if it doesn't resolve itself. I went from a 38dd to what I hoped was a 36c. I think it's really a 36d. Oh well, they certainly look better. Yours look great :-)

Thank you! I have my appointment with my surgeon in april I think- I will ask her about it. Let me know if it hurts or what the process is? Do u go under again?

You look amazing! I haven't used any kind of scar gel yet, but after seeing your results, I'm ready to start. I also have a little dog ear on my R side. It's definitely gotten smaller over the last few months, but I think I will need to have it fixed. I have my 4-month follow up appt this week and will definitely bring it up. Congratulations on your healing!

Wow!!! Your PS did a gorgeous job!!!!! You look amazing & your scarring is so minimal!!! So happy for you :)) I think I eill end up a similar size, although I dd ask for smaller. I think it's a sign of a good PS, though, because they take the whole picture into account when building your new breasts. You look fabulous :))

Our boobs are so similar that Im so happy to see your after. You look great. Whether I hate my boobs or not it's still nervewracking to alter yourself when you have symmetrical "nice" albeit LARGE breasts. Congratulations!
