I did it. What did I wait for? I've wanted one for...

WORTH IT
I did it. What did I wait for? I've wanted one for 25 years, and finally did Breast Reduction, after so much back pain. I'm 47 years old, 5 feet tall, weigh 112, and was a 36 DDD. I am now a B/C, not really sure yet. They are lovely! First two days post op were good, but day three I had a reaction to the Percocet, horrible migraine, and nausea. Got off that FAST!! Day four was the winner. Took a shower, changed my gauze, had minimal oozing, and just a little black and blue...and yellow. Day 5 I have some pain on the under side of my breasts, and a little bleeding on the nipple, but nothing horrible. My big distraction is not being able to sleep elevated. It hurts my tush! My tush is actually black and blue. I must be sleeping on my coxac bone!! I want to sleep flat and can't wait. I have my post op tomorrow. Excited to make sure everything is healing properly, I must say I do get a little nervous with every tingle and pain, that something is wrong. Already my back feels better. Already I feel lighter. I am so happy I did this. Cannot believe I waited until now. I'm a petite person. This is just the best thing I've ever done. I cannot wait to go shopping. A cute bra? A little cami? A strapless dress without a rediculous cup o soup strapless bra????? OMG!!!! I can't wait!!!!!! Thank you to everyone on this site, for all the help through it all. If you are considering it for a minute, do it. My life, since I was 16, has been defined by my large breasts. What should I wear? What CAN I wear? Can you see my cleavage? Oh, that's what's sticking out? Oh, can't wear a button down shirt because of the peephole through the buttons. Oh, I'm two sizes when wearing a dress? Small on bottom and rediculous on top? yes, rediculous was a size to me. :(. Now, I think I am dreaming. The nightmare is over. I can breathe........:) I will post pictures soon.....

Congrats!! I can't help but wonder how can you be a 36DDD if you only weight 112. The 36 is for circumference below the breast ... at 112 lbs, I would think you are 34 max. Anyway, congrats. You must now be 32 B/C or 34 B/C. I am about your height and weight and DDD size. My operation will be on Oct 28, 2016.

You are right! I pretty much have always worn the wrong bra size. I probably was more a 34f? I guess? And the bigger band got my boobs into that cup size. Does that make sense? I just liked this one particular wacoal bra and went with it. Actually, my weight fluctuates anywhere between 108-113. I have a tiny upper body. I am speechless as to how amazing my back has felt this week! That's wonderful that you are having it done. Congrats.:) I look forward to hearing all about it. It's truly the best thing I've ever done for myself. ☺️

Looking back, I should have gone. But the next day I felt better and Tylenol did the trick!

Congratulations! I felt the same way...why did I wait! It has been life changing. I am three weeks post op and I can't even remember the enormous breasts I used to have. I can't wait to go shopping and to buy a itty bitty bikini this summer, maybe even bandeau!

Bought two new sports bras- both close in the front and are super comfortable, also give me loads of confidence after being in the surgicAl bra.

What technique did the surgeon use? I had my consultation today and he discussed needing to do a free nipple graft.

The anchor technique

Your result looks great. Who is your surgeon?

Sports Bras!

I found two great ones. Champion and Jockey make ones that close in the front. The jockey one is all soft cotton, so it's nice to sleep in. The champion one is a little tighter, so maybe during the day for this one, but still comfy and looks nice. Very sporty and pretty. I finally am sleeping on my back. Thank goodness, so much more comfortable. :)
