I am so happy everyday to fit into clothes. I don't ever think about my boobs or obsess about them popping out. I never think about if something will make me look busty or slutty. I am 34 Dd or 36 d and I am happy with that size. It's not about the number for me. I'm so excited to put on a bra, have the underwire lay flat, not have boobs squished out of every part, or not worried what my shirts are revealing. People say I look skinny, even though I gained 5 lbs after surgery. When I do lose the weight, I will look even more amazing and that excites me. My boobs are not 100% perfect, but I'm 100% happy. The only time I see flaws is when I take pics for this site and then start to analyze them. That's why I can't do it very often. Not everyone can tell I had a reduction, but when I show them my before and after swimsuit pics they can't believe it. My husband loves them. My scars are fading, I don't see them when I'm looking in the mirror quickly. I feel like I have the body that fits me. It's not perfect, but that's life. That's natural. So if you are readin this and you are discouraged by your reduction, or not happy with something, try looking at the bigger picture. Try to take a break from criticizing yourself and appreciate how your life is improved. If you need a revision or want one, great. But also be grateful and you will feel happier. Your attitude affects how others see you. I'm so happy I have had this site to help me through hard times and help me know what to expect. And really encourage me to actually do it. This site is a blessing. And sometimes a curse ;)

Wow, you look wonderful, similar shape to me, we are at the same stage but your scars are so much lighter. Would you mind very much telling me your age? I am putting the slow fading of the scars down to being 57.......

I am 33, my doctor was surprised how fast my scars faded, but I'm sure age has a lot to do with it. Hope all is well with you!

You look amazing! Before surgery I honestly didn't care about the scars. I am 100% happy with my results as well. But, I do notice my scars are fairly red still. I think it has to do with noticing our breasts in the mirror anytime we get dressed, etc. I have had many surgeries and couldn't tell you how long it took for the incisions to heal. I am so happy for you, and it is great that you have such a positive outlook.

Swimsuit
BRHopefulMarch 16, 2014
Wearing an ill fitting swimsuit was the worst part of my old boobs. I could hide my boobs in clothes, but not in a swimsuit. And my kids and I go swimming everyday in the summer with other moms. I was curious if I could fit into a regular swimsuit found in a store and was so happy. Even though I'm still 10 lbs overweight, I tried one on and was giddy. I can't stop comparing my before and after. I feel so sad for my old self.

You look great, I am going through the exact same thing, still got 15 lbs to lose but I have bought a bikini and tankini having thought several years ago that my days of wearing those on holiday are over. I am 57 and what a boost to my confidence this has been.

I cant wait for that also, I hate swimming for swimsuits (bathers for us Aussies) I swim all the time at the loval pool, I go at 5:30 in the morning because there arent many people there, I try and sneak into the pool where no one will notice me and my big huge boobs.

You look awesome in your new swim suit. I keep finding clothes that I had packed away because I no longer for in them....that I now fit into with half my boobs gone. It makes me so happy :) You really do look great.

What a great result! I can't get over your new size, just awesome! You're healing so nicely and the swimsuit pictures, great! Happy with/for you!

Thanks! Bigger than I wanted, but the right size for my body. Now I have sexy big boobs and not embarrassing big boobs

I just read your review and it's awesome! You look so wonderful, and so much slimmer. I'm excited for you and happy that you are doing so well. I'm going in for a revision this Friday. One side is much bigger than the other, so I'm happy that my PS is going to do the revision. I can't wait to be back to normal after recovery but it isn't supposed to be as long. I've had so many blessings that have come out of having big boobs. Now I am blessed with the smaller perkier boobs I never thought I would have. I'm 57 and this reduction has changed my self-image 100%. Thanks again for your pics and great review!! You look fantastic!
