Two and a half years post-op

Life is good :) The girls have settled on a 34D UK size, they've softened and feel very natural. The shape has stayed the same, even though I rarely wear a bra. The scars have faded even more, and they don't bother me at all.

If there are anyone out there reading this, wondering if they should take the plunge I can only repeat that this has been one of the best things I ever did for myself. No regrets whatsoever.

On a more personal note the arms have finally healed, and I'm able to use a computer, knit, lift weights, do housework (well, it's nice to be able to do it, even if it's not my favourite thing) and swim, which I enjoy tremendously.

I've also married since the last update :) We decided to finally tie the knot after 11 years of living together, and had a wonderful day with family only.

I've uploaded a pic of me on our wedding day :)

It has been nearly a year since my last update. As I reviewed the last pictures I posted I noticed that the scarring has improved tremendously. The scars are still there, but they have faded to the same colour as the rest of the skin, which makes them quite discreet :)

This year has been a learning experience for me. I have suffered from forearm tendinitis for years, and last fall I had a very bad attack which left me with very reduced capacity. I am now much recovered and content with the results I've reached through stretching and wrist/arm exercises, even if there is still work to be done. Apart from the tendinitis this has been a good year. I still really enjoy the new girls, and being able to go bra less :) That is just fantastic! Especially in the summer heat.

I'll try to post some new pictures in the next few days.

Hiya ladies,
Here are some new pictures of the girls. Some full figure and some close ups of the scars. When I look myself in the mirror the scars seems more red than in the photos, but they are definitely improving.

I dug out a few pictures from my mobile too. Both were taken on Christmas eve last year. I have a hard time finding photos of myself before the op where you can see the boobs properly. This one was the best I could find, but as I was wearing a black dress they're not that visible. But it should give you an idea.

It's been a while since the last update, and while it's still pretty warm here the fall has nevertheless arrived. The leaves are turning, and a new school term has started. I am teaching at a secondary school (French and redesign of clothes), and rather looking forward to seeing the kids again :)

I had a very nice summer, I sewed a lot, mostly lingerie and a playsuit :) I visited friends and family, and enjoyed spending quality time with my better half. No swimming alas. There is a lake nearby, but the water there is too cold for me.

I'm still very very happy about the new girls. They have come along nicely, and have rounded out a bit at the bottom, but stays perky. It is just so nice to be able to go braless and look nice. The neck, shoulders and back are doing great. The left side of the neck (my left boob was considerably larger than the right) has been troublesome for years, and even if the breast reduction offered instant relief, it still is sensitive to pressure, and wearing a bra can cause it to get sore. But wearing longline bras work well, no discomfort at all.

I think that apart from the health benefits of the surgery the confidence boost and feeling comfortable in my own skin has been the most rewarding experiences I've had since the surgery. I feel sexy and attractive, I smile spontaneously at myself when I see myself in the mirror, thinking "you look good, you sexy thing" instead of cringing because of the boobs as I used to. Exploits in the boudoir has also improved post op, both due to returning sensitivity (at 7 months post op I'm pretty much were I was before surgery sensitivity wise) and confidence.

All in all, I'm just so happy I did this for myself :)
