Up close pics
Just wanted to show you all how they look up close. The scarring the sutures and all that stuff
Just Checking In
Crazy I'm still embarrassed of my before picture and I don't even look like that anymore. Everyone obviously knew I had big breast, but nobody knew I had big ugly breast. My mom was so shocked at how happy I was to have had this reduction. She said she thought I was okay with my breast being big. She doesn't know I'm not just happy to be rid of them just because of their size, but because the way that they look. My husband was literally the only one who knew I hated my breast and I only just recently told him when the reduction date got close. He had to notice that when I got dressed in front of him I always turned away a bit so he didn't get a full view of me. Or maybe he thought I was trying to hide me stomach lol. He still says he didn't find anything wrong with my breast and I'm like how could you not? Feels good to be confident in front of my husband for the first time.
Anyways got my drains out the day I said I was going to see if I could have them removed. Friday. The receptionist told me they were busy, but after me telling him how uncomfortable I was and would wait if I had to he squeezed me in to see my surgeon in the next 10 mins. When she came in and saw me she had a look like why are you here again. I pressed the issue about the drains so she just took them out. I figured if people can make do with no drains at all then 7 days was enough. Most of all I was so tired of sleeping with those things. I just couldn't do it another day. My husband has been my bodyguard when it came to my 9 month old Phoenyx making sure she didn't pulled them because let me tell you she has had her eye on them. I was pretty scared it was going g to hurt because of stories I've read on here, but she pulled the 1st one out before I even had a chance to panic and the 2nd one was just as easy. She said I had a lot of fluid leaking from my left side but I didnt give a damn I rather that then those drains. Ugh. Let me tell you though I walked out of there feeling %50 better. So much more free and sleeping is so much more easier.
Anyway I have a new bra addiction so here is me wearing them lol

1 Week Update, A few more photos and boobie talk
Okay tomorrow makes 1 week since I've had my reduction. Had a doctor's appointment yesterday and thought I would be getting my drains out, but didn't. She looked at my log and said I was draining to much fluid still and wouldn't want to have to put the back in. I totally understand why but OMG I'm so tired of these things. They are so uncomfortable and hurt like hell. It's like having underline under your skin and where they go in the skin is so sore. The tape holding them in place is loosening up and I keep accidently dropping the drains and pulling the tubes. She said I can get them out in 2 days without an appointment show I'm showing up at Kaiser tomorrow and doing everything I can to get these things out. I CAN'T GO ANOTHER DAY!!! It's like having under wire in your skin.
At my appointment the surgeon said everything looks good. She took the tape from under both my breast and down one of them. I think she just forgot to do the othe . She told me to start putting Neosporin on it. It kind of disgust me to do it. Makes me cringe to feel myself stitched together like that. I feel like I can fall apart lol. I feel like bride of Frankenstein to be real lol.
I got the okay to wear a different brand long as it has no under wire and is supportive. It's easy to tell when a bra is not supportive enough because the weight of my boobs will hurt wear my incisions are and that not comfortable at all. I was able to buy 6 bras for about $25 between sears and a store called DD's that's like a Ross. Awesome compared to the $70+ I used to spend on 1 bra and their actually cute. A couple were 1 size fits all which before I could never wear and the others were a 38 D a size I assumed I was, but I feel like I may be able to fit a C in some brands. My boobs actually went all the way into the bra and didn't keep creating a double boob like I normally have. I know there's a lot of women here who can relate to the double boob. I remember the days when I had to wear a bra with a sports bra over and a tank top over that just to keep these tig Ole bitties under control. Now I only have to wear something to keep this belly under control. Lol.
That's all I can think about to ramble about tonight. I'll include some pics I took today and yesterday.
Also my boobs feel so small when I grab them and when I look at them but look bigger on pics
