Quick Update on Scars
I still feel great. I've gone from multiple headaches each week to maybe once a month. My neck is much better, so now the PT is moving on to my lower back, which got into some bad swayback habits over the 30 years I was carrying my big old boobies.
One of my friends is a dermatologist and said my scars looked really good but noticed a couple were still raised, so he injected them with cortisone. I can't say it was pleasant, but it didn't take long, and I can already feel a difference (he said it'll take two weeks) in that my bra doesn't feel like it's irritating my scars like it was. They feel a bit flatter, and I'm looking forward to seeing if it helps.
I thought I'd throw this out there in case any of you were going through the same thing.

And the Final Bra Size Is...
I went bra shopping today. I didn't need any of the Macy's bra specialists to help me find a bra. I didn't need to shop the industrial-bra section of the department.
It's been eight months since my surgery. I'm so happy I did it. I don't regret it for a minute, and I wish I'd done it a lot more soon. I thought I'd put this update out there in case anyone was seeing whether she wanted to do the surgery or was wondering, as I was before mine, what cup size I might possibly be. So here's my stats:
5'3-1/2". 142 pounds. Petite (can wrap my fingers around my wrist). A 30DDD/G before. 308 removed from one breast, 313 from the other. The new bra size is a 32C, so about three cup sizes.
Sometimes I wear a push-up bra for kicks, but it's nice to have that be an option and not the rule. I love being able to buy cheap sports bras, and I had to get rid of some of my tops. I also realized I wore t-shirts all the time because that's all that would work for my frame and my ginormous boobs. It's so nice to have some other options.
My back and neck can still get tight sometimes, or, a lot of the time, so I'm training myself to stand up straight, which is sooooo much easier now, and I stretch out my hip flexors a lot because I was carrying my chest forward for a long time, about, you know, thirty years. Instead of going to my PT once a week or sometimes even twice, now I go every other week, and sometimes even every 2-1/2 weeks.
It's a great surgery. It's been amazing. I feel so lucky to have had this done, and I'm grateful to this site for being here.

Four Months Post
It's funny. Before the surgery and right after, there's so much to say and think about and worry about, but now, on this side, all I think about is how I wish I'd done this about five years ago. I feel so much better.
It's going to take a while until my body stops bunching up my shoulders and hunching my back. I'm not sure when that'll stop, if ever. All I know is, it's a lot easier to stretch. I can feel my muscles release now. Instead of three or four headaches a week, I've had maybe five or six total since the surgery.
I had my last check-in with my doctor yesterday. The end of an era, LOL. I also know, too, that every time I see Alex on Modern Family, I'll know she's in my tribe. YOU GO, GIRL.
So here's the summary: these smaller boobs are awesome.

Provider Review
Dr. McCormack is professional, smart, and skilled, and she's a chosen a staff that reflects those same values. I have felt completely comfortable and that I was a valuable patient throughout this entire process. More than that, my breast reduction was beautifully done. I can't recommend this doctor and her very kind and professional staff enough.
