Over One Year Later, Please Find A Good Surgeon And Go For It!

So I decided to have breast reduction because my breasts were weighing me down. Although my doctor couldn't give my 40 year old frame 20 year old boobies, I was glad to go through surgery. No regrets. I had very wide breasts so there was only so much he could do.

My smaller breasts helped me get into shape and I lost 10 pounds while watching my food intake and doing a mix of belly dancing and P90X. I was looking so good my husband and I couldn't keep our hands off each other. Just as my 41st birthday rolled around, I found out I was pregnant with my first child!!! I didn't think I could get pregnant which is why I finally decided to have the surgery. I am still thankful for the surgery and glad that I don't have to carry large breasts and a growing baby in my belly. Just hoping i can breast feed and my midwife thinks I will be fine.

My scars are very dark right now due to hormones but I expecting my little baby girl in just 2 weeks. Let's hope she inherits my husband's side of the family to avoid my family curse and won't have to have surgery like I did.

I just went to see my PS for the 3 month post-op visit. He said my scars are better than average and will start to lighten up soon. I expressed concerns that he said small D even possible large C and I am probably a DD. He said there was nothing he could do to make me smaller. Still 100 times better than before, just wanted itty bitty [RS bleep] committee membership. No real changes from two to three months in shape but the scars are starting to flatten out. I'm just using rose hip seed oil on the incisions, nothing fancy. Still having neck and shoulder pain but less than before surgery. With my 2K deductible and 20% coinsurance, surgery came out to about 3.5K. A small price to pay for a huge boost in confidence. Hope all you brave ladies are doing well!

Well it is has been 2 months and not too much to say. My scars have puffed up and turned red and I am thinking about scar sheets even though my PS said they are a waste of money. What do you ladies think? Have you noticed that using them made a difference? I have just started putting some salve that I got from my new job called All Good Goop. It is like an all natural Neosporin and so far the girls are responding well to it. I went clothes shopping today and bought two summer dresses off the rack that I don't spill out of and a bikini top for $13. A bikini top??!! I'm 40 and can't believe I can get into one again. I have been bad about my diet and put on a couple pounds but getting back into a workout routine with a new job is tough. No one has noticed I had surgery but I was so good at hiding it. I know I am more confident now. Hope all you ladies are healing well and enjoy your new and improved bodies. I have no regrets!!!
