Nearly a year has gone by. I'm pleased with the outcome of the reductio, but I am probably in the minority when I do say I do miss my big boobs sometimes. So many people I talked to said it was the best thing they have ever done but I don't really feel that way. It feels like I traded two big problems for several other problems.
Positives:
I can run now. I got up to a 5K recently.
I can shop at normal stores including Victorias Secret.
Clothes fit better
Less back pain if I keep exercising
People think I look thinner
Feel better most of the time
No sweat rashes this summer
Negatives:
Nipples are odd looking
Scarring of course
Husband not too interested anymore
Lost the cleavage aspect. They are 38DD but kinda flat on top even in a good push up bra.
Swimsuit was still hard to find that didn't show my scars on the side.
That about sums it up :/
I posted new pics for those interested in seeing the outcome.

Not much to update aside from pictures. I'm finally back to the gym full swing. I still have some discomfort on my sides if I sleep on them the incisions tend to hurts some.
They incisions under the breasts are very light and not very noticeable but the sides are flaming red still. I got measured at a 38DD which I am pleased with :).
The shape is still odd to me but I know they will continue to change some.
The nipples have very slight protrusion. More like the center of the nipple is higher less like an actual nipple with definition. I like the way the breasts look with clothes on and I really don't like the way they look without. So that's where I am now.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing. I am scheduled to have br w/fng on 7/12/16. I am worried about nipple projection. Do you have any? Or is your whole nipple/areola complex completely flat/smooth at all times?
Thank you!

Hi! I had my BR back in mid-September, and was just checking in to see how things are going. (My review is in here somewhere!) I had my reduction at age 60, and the before picture really horrifies me now when I look at it! I went down four inches in the measurement around the fullest part of the breasts, so that makes me really happy, but sometimes, when I look in the mirror sans cloths, I am not totally thrilled at what I see, The one thing I read in your review that I really felt the need to comment on is the statement of liking the way you look in clothes, but not so thrilled with the look without clothes. I feel the same way, and since we spend almost all of our time clothed, I'd say we're in pretty good shape!
Enough about me, I wanted to say that your progress looks amazing - what a difference in your nipple healing! Continue to heal well, and don't forget that massage will still help to heal your incisions well, even tho many weeks have gone by! Congrats on your new YOU!!

you look great. I had a FNG 7 weeks ago. My nipples are finally closed and stitches out. Still no nipple peaking out yet and I know it may not happen. I'm glad I did and still glad I went small enough with the FNG, but still wondering how my husband will really like it. I finally let him peak at 5 weeks so he could see what I was dealing with. He saw the breasts just not the nipples.

That's probably been the hardest part for me. My husband no longer has any interest in them :'(
Makes me wish I hadn't done it.
