32yrs Old, 2 Kids, 34DDD+ Now, Would Love to Be a Small C

I think it took a good 6-8 weeks for the swelling to go down for me. I had a lot of bruising too. Hang in there :)

I didnt wear anything other than the bra the ps gave me for at least 3 weeks. After that i started wearing tighter sports bras. You probably dont want the too tight until they heal a bit more

Emotions and reality.
Being emotional is good because it's part of your mind assessing what's happened over the past 3 weeks and recovering from it. Having being refused surgery twice you're approved, quickly have a mammogram, possible bad news so rapidly have a biopsy, could be cancerous could lose a breast, await results, thankfully good news you have a benign growth, breast reduction surgery back on, have surgery, nearly lose a nipple, pain, pain, pain, not sure of size, asymmetric and more.
I think you're entitled to be emotional, don't you?
Please don't try and block out what you've been through and what you're going through now. Let it all come into your mind when your mind choses and think about it: let this happen when your mind wants and you'll be better emotionally (mentally) sooner. Your mind does have to recover from the trauma you've endured.
Onto your body, I think your breasts are really suiting you. I say that because if you have a look at the few little freckles you have on your before photos and those you posted yesterday you'll see how much higher your breasts now are, meaning they're a lot smaller. Your boobs are also substantially smaller at the sides. And they're still bruised and swollen so when healed will be smaller. It may not be much consolation, but if your breasts are slightly different sizes you'll be the same as every other person as we're all asymmetric.
I am sorry you're sore though only time will sort that out.
It's easy to say be patient and relax, just be yourself.
I hope you keep healing well.

Ask your PS about maybe wearing a sports bra. As for the size and healing it takes a couple of months to get back to normal. I had surgery 5 months ago. Had a lift and replace old implants. It didn't heal good, got cellulitis and fat necrosis which I'm still fighting. My PS removed implants a month in and said I need to heal up for a year before he will do anything further. A year with teeny boobies!!! I still have open weaping holes on both nipples

Early days yet- my swelling didn't come down significantly until 3-4 weeks. My larger breast was still larger, because more work was done on it. It was more irritated. I was convinced it would still be larger at the time. It not. Give yourself time to heal.

Having read all you've written and looked at your before and after photos it looks like you're doing tremendously well. Taking into account all the bruising you have, there's going to be quite a bit of swelling, which as your body gets over the invasive nature of the surgery, including liposuction and pretty large amounts of tissue removed, will mean your breasts will reduce in size.
You've already thought about your breasts suiting your frame and being in proportion, so it's likely that removal of even more tissue could have resulted in you possibly feeling small and very disappointed.
You've had a lot of traumas in just a few days so it's hardly surprising if you're questioning how you'll be. Remember also that some anaesthetics can send us in a roller coaster of emotions until they work out of the system: also some pain relieving medications can have some unwanted emotional side effects also.
Oh I just remembered, if you look at the small horizontal mark on the front of your body in the 3 day and 7 day photos it looks like your right breast, if not both, has lifted (become smaller) in those 4 days.
Keep going, you're doing really well so far. In just a few weeks you'll probably be thinking phew, that's more like it.
I wish you well for a good recovery.

I think you are looking great and just hang in there, things really will get easier.

As a point of reference if this helps,
I started out a 34 DD and DDD (one side was bigger than the other). Between my original surgery and revision, I ended up having pretty much the same removed as you in total and I am now a C cup. So hopefully that's where you'll end up too!

That's almost a pound from one and more than a pound from the other! I bet once swelling goes down, you will perfectly proportioned.

Congrats on your results:-)
I am almost 4 weeks post op and the first week, by far, was the hardest. It just gets easier from there!
