Breast Reduction

Almost 3 Weeks Post-Op
WORTH IT
Okay, I'm feeling much better now than I was a week ago. My boobs have evened out some, I'm not as sore as before, bruising is minimal, and I decided that the post-op bra was not happening for me. I went to Victoria's Secret and bought two underwire-less bras - 38C to be exact! I fit into the B cup on my left, but with my right side being more swollen than the left, I just went with the C. Let me tell you: I cried. In the dressing room. In front of the employee who was fitting me for the bras. It was a magical moment. I feel much better about life with a beautiful bra on.
The semester began yesterday, and I noticed that my breasts didn't rest in the desk in front of me. NOT EVEN ONCE! I have more confidence wherever I go, and when I went shopping, I bought a medium size shirt when I was previously an XL just to fit my boobs.
In my new bra, I haven't had to "adjust" myself once. No more tucking them under my armpit, no more holding them in place when I bend over so they don't fall out, and no more cleavage protruding over the top of every shirt. So freeing. And, walking around in my pajamas without a bra - glorious.
If you are deciding whether or not to go through with a breast reduction, do not wait a minute longer. Do it. You will never look back.

Day 11 - Not As Happy As I Was Before :(
My breasts look awful to me today. My nipples are crazy uneven still, my right boob is way swollen, the liposuction areas hurt like heck, and this morning I found a golfball-sized lump between my right breast and my armpit. My surgeon's nurse said to put warm compresses on the lump and see if that helps.
I'm impatiently ready to be fully healed. The itching is driving me crazy. I still feel too big, too.
Is it normal to feel like a bit of a mess right now?

I was sore and miserable also. I did not have lipo but my sides hurt for six weeks. I was so tired of feeling uncomfortable, i just wanted to be healed already. It takes time and patience. Your boobs will turn out just fine and so will you. You look great.

Yes it is normal to have these mixed emotions..i had a hot dog size lump on my left side..i massaged with arnica gel, and used a heating pad for 15min at a time..also warm water..it went right to my verticle incision..one day a small pimple formed on my scar, and when i went to shower a few days later, i toughed it, and the amount of crap that came pouring out was unreal..it was white..until it turned red and then clear..i kept pressing on it to clear it out...i had no idea till the morning, but when i went to massage the lump...it was friggen gone!!! I guess it was like a bunch of fat, and fluid..it was gross, and the hole was a small pin hole..you couldnt even see it the next day...so massage and warm water and heat..it will go away..

YES it's normal!! I have felt a bit like a carved pumpkin and have those golf ball sized lumps at my armpits too. Damn the lipo! I had no idea either that it would be so uncomfortable. I'm feeling a bit better now and today, for the first time I could see the advantage of the lipo. The swelling has gone down quite a bit. The lumps really suck though. They hurt if I put pressure so with bras I have to put cushion between the lumps and pressure from tne fabric.
I feel very similar to you. One moment they seem really small, really depending on what I wear. Then I put on a comfy sport bra and tank and all of a sudden they look B I G again! It's normal to feel that way.
You and I came out very similar and started very similar. Ours came out at roughly B cups and fitting into C cups right now with no problem, so I know and you know we are small. It's just our brains taking their sweet time assimilating what the new boobs look like.
Don't loose hope. You look great and it gets better. I got in a funk around day 10 and am still wishy-washy about my feelings. Hugs and kisses and feel better my sister with B cups!! :)

Awe sweetie, sorry to hear you hit a rough patch. I think your breast look nice, not big at all, thanks for your honesty, I know I will feel this way too, I'm different in that I really want to stay a D, so I'm trying to be okay with smaller if I wake up a C, I'm trying to have no expectations, ha! My heart goes out to you, hope you feel better soon, take some meds at night at least, walking around all day feeling achey will mess with your mind, it's still a form of pain. Stay healthy, Blessings!

Of course it's normal to feel like a big mess. Your body has just gone through major surgery and you are dealing with having to get used to a whole new body. I am a month post op and my breasts are still sore and swollen my left breast is bigger then my right breast and my right nipple is a little off which may get better once the swelling has subsided. Just give yourself time to readjust to the new you and healing takes time.

You might feel "big" as you said on the last picture but you´re NOT, they look beautiful.
