This is a long overdue update- the past couple of weeks have been so busy I've barely had time to think about my breast reduction! I'm now three weeks to the day post op and I'm delighted to say I've healed really well. For the first week and a half I didn't shower at all (I know, ew) and I honestly feel like this had a massive part to play in the healing process. Keeping everything bone dry means there is far less chance for bacteria to multiply! Even when I eventually went for a shower I put my hairdryer on the cool setting and used it to dry my breasts so no towel went near them. I'm currently wearing steri- strips along the incisions but they are healed now- I'm going to start using bio oil around the five week mark. I've been wearing an under wired bra size 32D for the last couple of days and in no discomfort. I think the healing process is definitely unique to each person. I'm delighted with the results and can safely say my surgeon is a miracle worker! For any ladies in Scotland considering a reduction I cannot recommend Mr Chew at Transform highly enough. I had no drains and minimal bleeding and was looked after superbly at Rosshall Hospital. Hoping my recovery keeps up the good pace and wishing everyone on here luck and love for future ops and recoveries!

Quite sore under left breast- think it might be to do with the sports bra I'm wearing and its seams resting on my incision. My hospital didn't give me a post op surgical bra- is that normal?? Otherwise just resting and keeping mess up. Was told showering is possible but I'm going to wait a few days. Will post my 10 day update next week! X

I just came back from my pre-op and was just told to get a bra that clasps in the front and a wireless sports bra. Nothing about getting a compression or surgical bra! I thought that was odd, too.

Your results look amazing. What a transformation. I've had my pre op and was told to avoid sports bra's that don't fasten at either the front or back. Looking forward to viewing your progress. X

I am now in my 8th week post op, I highly recommend M&S zip front sports bras, get one cup bigger as due to the swelling a smaller one will just not go on. You have to provide your own bra post op where I was operated on, also they recommend to buy two so that you always have one on whilst the other is being washed. Also as you have to wear it 24/7 for the first 6 weeks it makes sense. I am still wearing mine due to the scars still being a bit tender (even for a non-wired bra) but they are improving on a daily basis.

Feeling a bit tender but honestly the pain is nothing unbearable! For what I was expecting to feel this is a pleasant surprise :) Got home after 1 night at Rosshall Hospital- cared for fantastically by the doctors and nurses. The worst part was the cannula in my arm- very nippy! Felt very sticky from the anaesthetic yesterday- I would recommend asking for a buccastem anti sickness patch it lasts for 72 hours and takes the queasy feeling away. Wearing a 32D that will drop to a 32C one swelling subsides. Mr Chew my surgeon is an artist- cannot believe the results! So perky and full- never imaged they could look this good. Now time for big recovery sleeps - have been very mobile today and I'm quite sleepy now! Thank you ladies for all your support this website is a godsend [RS bleep]

I have my first consultation on Friday. I am 52 and for me too, it's now or never! I have read so much on this site recently and its thanks to stories like yours that I feel I too can do this and finally feel content in my own body. I am so pleased that you have done this at your age - keep us posted! Well done!

You look awesome! This makes me excited for a possible future reduction! How did you and your surgeon decide on size?

Could you please do an update, I love your results so far and I've just been overwhelmed with all the options. I've researched so many recommended surgeons and thought that their work was disappointing at best, whereas yours look phenomenal. I'd love to see what your incisions look like as scarring is a major concern of mine.
Kindest regards,
Lauren
