WORTH IT
Hello everyone! So right now, I am about 40 days post-op. I don't mean to brag, but they are so beautiful!!
Right now, I can sleep on my sides and I can lay on my stomach, although I find myself only doing so for a couple minutes at a time. I said goodbye to sleeping just on my back maybe two weeks ago!
I am still wearing my compression bra to sleep and to work. However, I wear a regular bra (no underwire) whenever I want to wear something nice, mostly on the weekends honestly.
My biggest concern I have right now are my scars. They look pretty good to me though, so it's not even a huge concern. I have been using Bio-Oil with Purcellin oil. I also have silicon scars sheets. I use these sometimes but not all the time. I posted a picture and as you can see, they both seem to be healing nicely. The scars are nice and light so I'm super happy about that!

Stitches are out!
Got my stitches out yesterday. With that, some of the skin glue came off which means that most of the dried blood came off too. Now I can see the ta-tas in all their glory!

You are soooo cute! They look great! Really light scarring! Mine seem red and thicker on the sides at 8 weeks. I'm now 12 weeks and they are looking a little better...been using Maderma when I remember... Anyhow, yours are looking great! :)
Fabulous - happy for you!
Yes I think that they can get bigger during pregnancy and also again during menopause. I don't think that should stop anyone getting a reduction though. I wish I had had one at thirty, then again at fifty. I spent years lugging around these huge boobs and it was horrible. They went from something reasonable like an F cup to a K or L cup after a baby and menopause. It was terrible!

3 weeks post op
Hello everyone! I had my 3 week appointment with my doctor this morning where she took out my stitches! She said everything looks great and is healing nicely, YAY!
I still have to sleep on my back, ugh. And I still have to wear my compression bra until about November 1. I still have the skin glue on some parts of my incisions which means I can't put anything on my scars until the glue comes off anyway so I still have time to figure out which method of scar healing I would like to use.
I took this picture last night so my stitches are still in but I just wanted to show my progress!
