I HAVE to Do This! Bye Bye Boobs!

I am feeling INCREDIBLE! Swelling has dropped down now and I am about 81cms all around (down from 91cms before all this). Nipples are slowly coming around and rising up from where they were just after surgery. Had a check up and the surgeon explained that he sutured me really tight underneath my breast to stop the scar riding up over time, and that suture is taking a while to release which is why my nipples are being pulled down, but when it does they should settle into a higher position on the breast.

But the best news of all - and what I really want to communicate to anyone who is suffering from fibrocystic breast disease the way I was - I AM CURED!

This is my third cycle since the surgery, and I have had VIRUTALLY NO SWELLING, NO PAIN, NOTHING AT ALL!!! It doesn't make logical sense that this should happen, as there is still breast tissue there, but if what is there is still swelling, it is not causing me enough of a problem to be aware of it. I am beyond thrilled! More comfort size wise was the best I was hoping for, and possibly less swelling and pain, but I never dreamed I could actually be CURED of this condition!

It's still early days I know, but I am feeling incredibly happy and positive about everything. It's been quite the journey to get here, but it's been worth it. I am able to exercise much more comfortably now with smaller breasts, and my body is the fittest and tightest I think it has ever been. And it's only going to get better from here!

To anyone still considering this journey - find a surgeon you can relate to and who understands your specific needs, show pictures, agree size goals, prepare yourself mentally for that post-op blip period we all seem to have and ride through it, don't panic(!), and know that the odds are on your side that you will come out the other side happy and comfortable. Best of luck to anyone still going through it! Pics in comments!

Doing absolutely wonderfully now! Down to under 82cms, even under 81 at the best time of the month. Still feel nipples a tiny bit low but starting to come around now, slowly. Scars are red but flat and no dog ears. Vertical scar from areola to horizontal incision has virtually disappeared! I am starting to wear the odd underwire bra which always gives me a better shape, and the 34B fits perfectly, if anything it's a little loose! Feeling incredible, blessed and thankful I took this journey. Will update with pics when I can reload my photo app! But no regrets whatsoever! Forever grateful to my amazing surgical team, Dr Song and his itty bitty [RS bleep] committee!
