Before and 2.5 weeks after
WORTH IT$8,499
Nurse says they look perfect, still very swollen on the top. I can drive now and don't have to turn away from the shower, although I probably will for a bit linger, nipples are still very sensitive. Hubby comes home tomorrow so he will see them for the first time

Day Before and 2.5 Weeks After Breast Reduction and Lift
Today is the first day since surgery I feel human and I'm so excited, I'm going to Wal-Mart, lol
I've attached the day befire photo and today's photo, looking at them I see a difference, but not the drastic one I was hoping for. I was an 36DDD and the Dr removed about 650cc from each breast. I know there is still swelling and I am overall very happy, what I can tell so far the scaring isn't to bad. I still have the stereo strip covering the lateral incision, I'll get that taken off tomorrow.

Hi. Congrats! I'm a month post-op. I keep reading that you won't know results for 6-12 months, so I'm looking forward to next summer! I think it happens to everyone-"Am I small enough?" I keep telling people, "They're going to get smaller!" (I'm telling myself too). It's a roller coaster ride, the recovery, but as long as you sit around as much as you can, you'll be good. Normal to swell up if you do too much; just do less the next day. Normal for boobs to feel like rocks. Normal to feel zingers and see bruising. After 3 or 4 weeks, you'll feel great. Take care!

Oh my gosh! You look great! Maybe you don't see it yet, but there's a big difference in your before and after photos... thanks for sharing. My surgery isn't for 6 more weeks so I'm living vicariously through you for now. I'm curious if you have any idea yet of what your approximate final 'size' might be?? I think you look great (and happy)!!!

Congratulations!!! So glad you're doing well...I just got my insurance approval and can't wait. It's not for 6 more weeks so I can't wait to see your progress. How are you feeling now? How's everything healing? Kudos to you for being on the 'other side' of surgery!

Isn't it almost worse than waiting for Christmas as a child?? I felt like the closer it got the slower time went. Which on one hand I was happy about, my husband left they same day as my surgery for deployment training. He comes home tomorrow for 3 weeks and will see them for the first time, haven't shown him pictures, nothing.
Yesterday was the day I've been waiting for, I finally felt human and like I was me again. I'm not a sit still person but was determined not to mess this up. My Dr. only gave 2 days pain meds, I'm not sure how your pain tolelrance is, but I had to BEG for more, I couldn't get relief days 4-16. Still absolutely no regrets, had the steri strips removed today and the Nurse said they look "perfect" still quite swollen, which I was happy to hear, now I know they will get smaller still and I can start using scar cream/silicone sheets.
Please let me know how you do!!!!

I will!! Thanks to your hubby for his service... I'm sure it was hard on you both to have him gone while you were recuperating. You must be so happy he'll be home for a few weeks! I've become more of a baby the older I've become. Lol. I'll probably be begging for meds too.
