21 Year Old, 32F-32C Breast Reduction; So Ready For Smaller Boobies

At my one month post-op, the doc said everything is looking good! The tape was removed, and my chest was cleaned up a little bit. Some adhesive is still stuck on and may take several showers to come off completely. Things are looking pretty good. My scars are looking clean now without the tape. Most of the scabs are gone, except in the T-zone. My stitches are poking through, and you can see where they are coming up from under the skin because they create little bump like pimple things. I called the nurse last week, concerned about this, because I was originally told that my stitches would dissolve internally. While that happens in most cases, there are some cases where the tissue doesn't need the lattice structure of sutures to grown, and instead pushes the stitches to the surface and out. So it's no problem. My right breast is still a bit fuller on top, but they still will even out over time hopefully. I'm able to wear swimsuits and go swimming, but still staying away from underwires. I'm mostly wearing sports bras, but wire free bras when I need to wear nicer clothing. I get some of those spiking pains every so often, still the nerves waking up. I have almost all of my feeling back. The areas along my incisions are not totally awake yet, but it seems like its just the skin thats numb, and underneath I can feel pressure on the deeper tissues. Overall, I'm still doing great! Getting back into my full exercise routine finally, but slowly, as my side muscles still aren't fully up to par. Definitely lifting less that I used to until the swelling goes down completely. I'm starting scar treatment already, massaging moisturizer along my incisions. The massaging helps to break down scar tissue, so I'm also doing that along my sides and sternum where there was some liposuction performed. I'm thinking I will stay around the same size, even though the doctor says I might still shrink a bit more. I'm in a size 32D now (still opting for the 34C sister size for the looser band against my incisions and scar tissue). Not entirely too upset that it is larger than my goal size, a 32C. They look great, and I have little to no back pain, neck pain, or shoulder pain. I've gone down a size in my sports bras, and shirts and dresses that I've previously felt uncomfortable in fit me perfectly now. My chest is a much more modest size now, and I am so happy.

Holy crap, I fit into the 32D bra. I'm uploading a picture so you can see how I fill it out. The girls are settling in well. They're looking more like sisters than twins right now, as my right breast is still sitting a bit higher with more volume on the top. My left breast is dropping and filling out underneath. My tape is starting to curl up around the edges, so I'm trimming them just a bit. Things are looking good under it. All the dried up blood comes off as I peel away the tape. My surgeon recommended keeping the tape on as long as I could because it helps thin out the scars. I believe we are taking all the tape off at my appointment on Friday, which will be about 4 weeks post-op I believe. I'm still feeling swollen along my sides and beneath my breasts. I was able to begin working again, and had little to no discomfort. I couldn't carry heavy objects or handle dogs that were too wild on leashes. Didn't want to push it too hard. Reaching up to high shelves was really only went I felt some soreness. So it's mostly when I stretch. Still no pain in my breasts, just the surrounding areas. Every so often though I do get a split of pain, but it's just the nerves firing and waking up still. I have feeling all around my breasts, and both nipples. Just below my left nipple I don't have feeling, but the numbness only covers a very small area and its basically limited to the T-zone of my incision. This area also has the most tension on the incision, so the feeling may come back after the incision heals completely. So far so good though! I can't really complain much. I'm fitting into this 32D bra and I'm so happy! I'm still wearing wire-free though. I bought several regular cup shaped bras without wires to wear around when a sports bra just won't cut it. For those ones, I got them at Victoria's Secret because their having their huge sale and I wanted comfort and quality but not high prices. Here I fit in a 34C (which is my sister size) just because the 32 band felt a bit snug and uncomfortable on the lower part of my incisions. I'm crossing my fingers that they get a size or so smaller while they settle in over the next few months! They say that you normally won't have your final size until about 6 months to a year, so I've got some time. Even if they don't shrink any more, I'd still be happy! Working today I had ZERO back pain at the end of the day, and during they day I realized how much my breasts got in the way previous to my reduction. Simple tasks just felt easier all of a sudden, and I guess I just got used working around them. I can't wait to see even more improvements over time!
