Second Time Around for Breast Reduction. 13 Years Later Hopefully Getting the Size I Want (36DD/DDD to C) This Time. - CA

Here are pics from day 2 to 4. I had 557 grams taken from left, and 457 taken from right, so about 2.5 pounds. Still, they are asymmetrical, which is very upsetting to me. Two breast reductions and they are still uneven? The doc said something to my Mom (she can't remember exactly) after surgery that one side may need a revision. I assume this is what he's talking about. Not sure why it wasn't done at the time of surgery. Right now they seem to be a C and a D. Still too big for me, though once they settle perhaps the right one will be a fine size. I know they are swollen, though not as much as I expected them to be, but still you can tell one is definitely a size larger or more than the other. The right one seems to be lacking in tissue in the lower area. He pushed them up a bit to give fullness at the top. I already had fullness at the top, so didn't really need that. They feel a bit upside down, but perhaps this is the newer style of making them almost cone shaped to keep from falling as much later. I just want my boobs up to my chin anymore, and have to have clothes altered. I wanted all that gone.....

He did quite a bit more lipo than we had talked about, and my side/back is very brusied but i'm happy to be rid of the boobage fat around my underarms and the bra roll. Took 450gr from each side, so almost 2 pounds.

I've had very little bleeding. No drains thankfully. Very little pain. Took 2 Norco, then a few 1/2 caps, then didn't need any more. Recovery the first day was rough, as I wrote about before. My body just doesn't like anesthesia. Anyone else have the anesthesiologist put the mask over your face while you were awake with face stinging gas? It was strange. I think he was mad because my surgery was delayed by 2 hours. I've only ever gone to sleep with whatever they put in my IV.

Thanks everyone. I made it through though immediate recovery was tough. Was at surgery center for 4 hours after surgery. Lots of nausea and some vomiting. Hypersensitivity to everything. Eventually I came out of it and had a pretty good night. Couldn't keep any food down until 930pm when I could finally take a Norco. Post op today and got to see them. The shape is a bit odd, rather puffy on top and not filled on lower half. I hope they settle down. One is still noticeably bigger than the other, so I'm worried about that. They are a bit smaller than I wanted but it may turn out to be just right. I sure look different in my pajamas without all that Boobage on my chest. I look more like I've always wanted.

Lots of lipo, I'm bruised on the back of my shoulders which is curious. Why was the canula up there? Maybe some of the back fat was lopoed. That would be great. My sides look much better. Happy with what he did there. Will post pics when I can get on desktop computer to upload and crop them.

Can't sleep. Skipped the nausea patch as the side effects were frightening. Hoping it all goes well.
