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.....

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.

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. :)
