This One is for Me!

Just popping back in for a little update. I’m seven months Post BR and I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice to have it done. I still have some tenderness around the areola stitching and some itching of the scar line close to my arm pits. The lines under my breast are mostly flat which gives me hope the remainder of the line will flatten also. I can now lay on my breast without chest support. I have a hematoma in the left breast which will take a long while to dissolve but it is now obviously visible if you are not aware it’s there. Is caused no trouble but is just a hard internal mass that I would like to have gone. My breast are pretty soft and giggles naturally. I was out in the mall today and happened to see that swimsuits were on sale. I tried one on that I couldn’t have worn in my earlier life and I have to say that I looked great, so I bought it. Now I just have to be brave enough to wear it. I am not used to being so exposed , but I feel really good at 50 something. The reduction was well worth it!

I was showing a contractor pictures of tile that I wanted on my floor and I swiped left and guess what popped up? A full frontal of my boobies. I think that we were all embarrassed and I more so because they are my neighbors. Then I told them that I had a breast reduction but I don’t know if they heard a word I said. It was really funny though because I bet they thought that I spend my free time sexting, lol, me the 52 year old female. My guy will never know this. It is one secret that I will take to the grave!

Hop this gave someone a laugh today.

Hi All,

Just wanted to give my 4 month update because I have waited so long (actually 4 months, lol) to get to this point. I was excited to see if life would really be back to normal and for th most part it is. But I believe my left breast has a Hematomas that has hardened. All the information I researched said that it would most likely resolve on its own over time. I was thinking about consulting with my PS but not sure if I really want to invest the time and energy. It has actually gotten smaller but it was quite a large one. Moving on, I’m still a little itchy on the end of my incisions closer to my armpits, but no pain. I have gone braless for several days at a time, that was great! I have been using Boi Corneum, but I can’t really say whether it has helped or not because I do not have a trial comparison of myself post surgery both with and without its use. But I will continue to use it until I empty the bottle. I got fitted at Victoria Secret and Neiman Marcus, DD at both stores. Bought bras from both stores but like the ones from VS for half the price! The VS bras look great on me too! I walk, including some limited jogging, but only because my cardio is not built up for continuous jogging. Basically, I have no complaints and just hope for continuous improvement.
