49 Years Old. Fed Up of Big Boobs - 34FF. Longing to Be 34C

Hello all you lovely ladies
I thought I would post a short update. It's now about 6 or 7 weeks post op & healing is going very well. Absolutely no problems. I'm finally in a normal bra which feels like a luxury after all this time in sports bras 24/7. I'm wearing a 34D at the moment but my plastic surgeon assures me I'll be in a 34C in about 3 months - i can't wait. I'm still wearing a dressing that looks like a roll of plaster. On Friday next week I'll be replacing the plaster with the sillicone scar sheets. I wear these during the day only & have to massage oil or cream into the scarring at night.
Today I also started running again. It was great to be out again. I wore a good sports bra & I wore another sports bra on top with more coverage to ensure minimal jiggling around. As soon as I started running my shoulders & back felt 'looser' with new small boobs. When I had 34F boobs I used to be so concious of their size I used to wear 2 super tight sports bras. This was really uncomfortable & affected my breathing. I'd run with such a rigid back & shoulders, also to minimise bounce, that my upper back & neck used to be really stiff, especially after a 6 or 7 mile run. A hot shower used to be such a relief to ease the aching, but today there was at last no aching, for the first time in 30 years. I had a hot shower just to clean myself - I had no aching at all. I am so grateful to the person who made this surgery possible for me, & my brilliant plastic surgeon who's done a wonderful job. I can't recommend this surgery highly enough.

I saw Mr Ghattaura last Friday who is very pleased with how things are healing. I can now shower, just letting the water run over my boobs, no scrubbing. I'm changing my dressings myself & the steristrips have been replaced with a long strip of 'bandaid' type plaster. It's much easier than the steristrips. In 3 weeks I can start using CiCa care sillicone scar sheets. I've paid £40 for 2 sheets measuring 15cm x 12cm. Expensive but money well spent if they live up to the claim that they're excellent for healing new ( & old) scars. They're also used in hospitals I've been told so fingers crossed. I have to wear these new shhets during the day, remove at night, & then massage vitamin E cream or another cream to help with the scars. I've bought Bio oil given the hype so I'm hoping that will live up to its promise too.
The pics above were taken 16/02/18 & I've got the bandaid-type dressing on.
I'm starting to be able to sleep on my side more now which is a bloody relief. Sleeping on my back has been the only downside to BR surgery. i cant wait to sleep on my stomach again.
The only other thing worth mentioning is the tingling/stinging sensation in both boobs. It started in the upper area of my boobs , then a few days later felt as if it was half way down. I wonder if it's the nerves repairing? It doesn't hurt, no pain at all, just feels very strange. Sometimes even a cold blast of wind (& being in the UK that can mean all year round) can set the tingling off but it happens less & less now.
In work last week I was asked if I had lost 'loads of weight'. I weigh 9st & I've worked with him for 3 years & nearly said 'are your eyes ok? ' but i said 'thank you & no, haven't lost any weight. But you should have an eye test'. Can't believe he hadnt noticed my huge boobs were no longer there!! I was happy any way????
This is the best thing that I've ever done for myself. To any women who are thinking of going ahead with this surgery - it's been absolutely life changing for me. I feel 10 years younger, more confident, & much much happier in myself. I live a very quiet life & this has given me so much confidence to get out there more & start living.
