WORTH IT
My breast are still getting smaller. Just when I think they are not going to get any smaller they do, much to my delight. One of my breast developed kind of a flat shape underneath to the right side, it looked somebody punched it in. I worried about it for two days and then it started to go away. I guess your breast go into some funny shapes when they are healing, I still get twinges of pain every now and then, but it's no big deal.
The spot below my areola has healed.
I am now 37 and a half in my measurement in my bust area.
I put Bio Oil once a day after my shower. I know you are supposed to put a twice a day, but I forget. Sometimes I put neosporin.The indentation on my shoulders has subsided a bit more.
Most of my old tops fit really nicely now. I can exercise a lot longer now and am not out of breath as early. I still have not lifted weights yet. The last time I did I was really tired for two days, so now I do a lot of cardio only. I will start with the weights next week. My breast still feel unsettled when I bend over.

Today I measured myself and I now measure 38 inches on top.
I still use Neosporin and I am now putting pure shea butter and Bio Oil also. I do have a white spot underneath my arola. It bled for a while. I put a band-aid on it with the Neosporin. The areola area still is not healed as of yet. I have a little bit of a stitch sticking out on one. You can feel it, but not see it.
They still look a litle odd, they have not settled yet. It's only been about a month.
They still ache from time to time.
They are higher on my cheast than they were last week.
I do not have as deep of a indentation on my shoulder from the bra strap that I had a week ago. Very happy about that.
I carry a lot of equipment for work, about 35 pounds in a rolling leather case. I was able to lift it into my car, out of my car and up some stairs, down some stairs.
I think I could do this because I did not exercise at all for close to a month.

It is now two weeks and two days since my breast reduction.
It does not ache as much as it did a wwek ago.
Now I am concentrating on making sure there ia hardly anything left of the scars. I put neosprion twice a day on the cuts and I am still taking arnica montana three times a day.
They are still beautiful and round. The nipples look like they should and are healing nicely. Very pleased.
