Thanks for posting the long term follow up photo! They look great and it's good to get an idea of how they look over time.

You look great. Thank you for sharing. Can you remember how long it took for that small opening at the T junction to heal? I have a similar one and am trying not to be impatient or worry. Thanks for your reply!

It took about 6 weeks to completely close if I remember right. I was so nervous too! It is a bigger scar but you can't see it unless I lift my breast up.

Thank you. Mine started about week 2. I'm now at week 5. I know it has to heal from the inside out. It's definately like waiting for water to boil! Blessings to you!

I loved reading your review and am so encouraged by your story. Can I ask what you did to lose the 20lbs? I am hoping to get rid of 10-15 after this breast reduction. I am already very active but I have been holding on to some since the last baby.

Hi Piggles, Merry Christmas to you. I hope that you are still following your thread. I have a question, what bras were you wearing? I am now at 6 months post op and I wear a sports bra to bed and still try to wear bras that are more supportive than not during the day. Lol, my aunt told me that I need to wear a "real" bra. I am 51 and have been wearing a bra pretty much 24/7 for many many years due to the weight of my G cup breasts, so I am a bit paranoid about them sagging (I shouldn't be, as I am a wonderful 36 C now). P.S. My open wound healed up in about 6 weeks. Thank you for your encouragement. :)

Happy Holidays to you! I wore Bali Comfort Revolution bras for about 6-9 months. They were just comfortable and I didn't start needed any support/lift until about 12 months or so. You get a little of a natural "drop" and that is when I started wearing underwire again. I wear many different brands of underwire, but mostly from Soma intimates. You should still try to wear bras to offer support, because since it is skin, it will stretch out a bit after a few years. You still should never be "saggy" because the weight is not there. I still have lift enough to go braless and feel comfortable, but I try to keep them supported during the day, like you. Glad to hear you are doing well!

Still looking excellent! Thank you so much for continuing to update, it's so helpful to see how things are looking nearly a year down the line. I'm a real exercise fanatic and have been quite paranoid that my boobs will sag with all the running. I'm 4 months post-op and they're still looking good, so it's really reassuring to see that you are still super perky!

Well, I am six months post op now and I truly feel...

PigglesJanuary 23, 2013
Well, I am six months post op now and I truly feel as though I am back to my pre operative self. My experience with BR has been absolutely wonderful and my post op period was much better than ever expected. I have updated my 6 month pics. I am down 18 pounds from pre-op and I do high intensity aerobics and run 4 miles a day about 4 times a week. So, as you can see, my breasts have tolerated weight loss and exercise. I actually prefer the tear drop shape they now have as opposed to the "high mounds" I had for about 2 months after surgery. I have complete sensation in all my breast tissue and my nipple sensitivity is back to normal as well. I am able to do so much more than I ever did before and I feel so confident. I love being able to take my bra off in the evening and know that I don't have to walk around with my arms over my chest to hide the "sag". I am back in underwire bras now and I am a 36D. I am really excited for swimsuit season this year for sure! Good luck to all of you who are just starting your journey!
