One Year Post-Op: A Great Success
WORTH IT
Here I sit this evening, exactly one year after having my reduction, and I can't help but think that I must make time to update on here even after all this time. I remember the night before surgery, I spent so much time cruising here. And the night after, had to update. This site was absolutely fantastic support for me.
So now a whole year later and I can say that I have zero regrets. I had a few very minor issues while healing early on, but those cleared up quite quick. Now the only evidence of those issues is some lighter skin.
It's hard to explain, but those who have gone through this will probably understand. I feel normal. They feel normal. They don't hurt my back. They don't get in the way. They don't make me feel self-conscious. They don't attract unwanted attention. This is the best decision I ever made.
If you have any questions I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask.

WOW!!!! What amazing results. You must be so happy! I find the before and afters in the same bras hard to believe...it's unreal! Marvelous to see, thank you for that and your story and relative easy going recovery. Best to you I hope this message finds you and your loved ones happy and healthy! By the way my BR is scheduled for Oct.6 2014 an again, thank you!

Where did you get the scar treatment from?

I used Skincerity which is a home based business thing from Nucerity. If you look online you can probably find a seller near you. I'll admit I slacked off after a month of it so it probably would have done even better if I had kept up.

It's been almost 5 months...
I cannot believe how time has flown lately. I'll keep this brief..
Things have been great. It feels absolutely natural by this point for me. A few odd days here and there... I had what I thought was a tiny zit on the edge of my nipple so I squeezed it and bam, a itty bitty stitch popped out. Then it closed right up next day. Otherwise, things have been great.
Still not wearing underwire, but I have gone without a bra some days with a cute dress or something. I was supposed to go back to my PS in June but things with work just didn't work to get a day off to go. I am planning to go next month since it times out with my six month mark.
I have started to try scar treatment and through my aunt, I heard about Skincerity Breathable Night Masque. It's this miracle roll-on masque that you put on before bed and peel off in the morning. I am going to post a picture from my phone right after this so you can see the Day 1, Day 10, and Day 19 progress. It's amazing so far.
I have tried on bras and have settled quite well into a 36D/36DD size now. I still find some clothes don't fit my chest, but not nearly the percentage as did before. While I have sometimes thought maybe he didn't go small enough, I also recognize that I am not a tiny body type to start with, so I can't expect everything to change all at once.
Hope all the lovely ladies who were going through things at the same time as me are doing just as well!

I am in Regina and on the waiting list for surgery... After all you have been through do you think it was worth it? My surgeon would be doctor souf

It definitely was worth it.
It's weird to say but I honestly can't really look at myself and remember what they used to look like. I remember the back pain and being uncomfortable. But I feel so normal now. I had a relatively good healing process compared to some others out there I know. And I also had probably one of the shortest wait times. From initial referral with my GP to my surgery was only 3 months!
