Finally learning to love my body!

It's almost 4 months since my surgery. I can't believe how amazing the results are. My confidence has reached far beyond the sky faster than the speed of light. I have been so lucky to have had an exceptionally good surgeon to do the work and to have had a smooth healing process. I'm finally learning to love my body.

Feeling Very Happy
colette169July 9, 2016
So my boobies are 5 weeks old now. Today i had an appointment with my surgeon, Dr Mahadev. Everything is healing perfect. He didn't seem bothered about the spitting sutures and just said to leave them alone, and everything will heal fine. He said he doesn't need to see me again. He also informed me that i can go back to skydiving after next week, which im incredibly excited about!! But under the condition that he can come skydiving (tandem with an instructor) too!! Soooo, he has the details for the centre, and im just waiting for the date he is booked for!!
My boobs are really starting to soften now. I cant believe how quick the are healing, and with out any complications. I may be biased but i think i definatly had the best surgeon, my boobs look incredible. If you are from the UK, I can not recommend Dr Mahadev enough. I think the results/pictures speak for them selves really. So i guess this is the end of my story, short but sweet. I believe the best stories always are short but sweet! I will post an update picture at 6 months. Good luck everyone, and happy healing.

You are right i think it is so important to find the right surgeon, You look so amazing and what a transformation! I am similar 5ft 3in sizr 34G/H depending on bra I am now 3 weeks post op and love my boobies, so far no complications and praying like you I won't have any now. Reasearching the best surgeons is the main thing and then lots of rest and good diet like you said, I think also not too be too overweight when you have the surgery, I am still 8lb over ideal weight, but because i am not obese i think that has helped. loved reading your story!

Spitting Sutures
colette169July 4, 2016
I have noticed over the last week that i have sutures starting to spit from the incisions. They don't seem to be causing any bother, and not creating any redness or inflamation. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so did you leave them alone or pull them out? i did try to pull one but i got a bit grossed out so left it alone. I didnt seem to want to come out easy.

Hi Colete, Im over in Perth Western Australia. Your after pics look great. Im having a reduction from a 36F down considerably to around about a C Im hoping. Can I ask do u feel that u have gone too small Im really wanting to get rid of the huge boobs but still want to feel like i have some. I guess having live with huge boobs forever, it will take some time adjusting :). Have u had any nipple sensation back yet of are they still quite numb. Thanks Sue

Hi Sue. I have got used to my boobs and i dont think think they are too small. Infact i have got that used to them that i think they are big, i had to measure my self yesterday just to make sure they are not growing, which they are not lol. They are a nice hand full, and you know what they say.... 'more than a hand full is a waste'. So i am very happy with them now. But don't get me wrong, the first week was tough. I had 7 cup sizes removed which is colossal. The first 2 days didn't feel real. And then the shocked kicked in, i thought i was flat chested and too small. I genuinly thought i was a small B cup, i cried for 5 days thinking all sorts and everything. I even started pricing up Breast Augmentations. I had my 1 week post op appointment with my nurse. She said it was completely normal to feel the way i do at that moment in time, and confirmed i was not flat chested. since then i have not been upset and everyday i love them more and more. I have measured my self and the measurements say that i will be a 34D, Possibly a large C depending on the bra. i didnt realise how small that size actually was. i guess i have no size conception at all with being used to giant boobs. I have more nipple sensation now than what i did pre op. The sensation was there immediately after surgery. The only numbness i had was at the bottom off my boobs, but that is coming back now. I hope this gives you some comfort. The whole experience is now where near to what you imagine.

Hi ya thanks for the reply. I guess as big boobs have been part
Of my life for years having them reduced will certainly be life changing. Wow u have nipple sensation already that's great . I know a lot of people it is numb for awhile and then comes back. I don't care about scars but would be feel very sad if I lost
Sensation in both nipples. Glad your recovery is going well

I have 3 spitting sutures right now. My dr told me to leave them alone and I'm going in for an appointment next week so she can either remove them or pull them out a little and then snip them off so they will go back in and reabsorb.

Hi thanks for replying to my post. I have indeed left then alone. I am just getting a bit nervous as i have read on here than some have ended up with infections due to sutures. I have an appointment on saturday with the surgeon, so i will let you know what happens.

They told me to put antibiotic ointment on them in the morning and evening. It will keep out infection and help pull the stitch out a little more and make it easier to get to.
