34J and needing a change to loving my new body! - Saskatoon, Sk

Hi everyone!
About 7 months post op now.z I'm still absolutely in love with my new chest. My scars are healing nicely!

Hey Guys! Finally got a chance to update.. 12 weeks post op, and I couldn't be happier.

Things have been healing really nicely for me. Haven't had too many problems other than I got an infection in an underneath incision around week 4-5. I had noticed one evening that there was discharge coming out, and it smelt something fierce!! Went to the hospital, had a swab, bloodwork, and ultrasound done, and sure enough, a small pocket of infection. Turns out I had a bacterial infection called Citrobacter. My surgeon said it's not really common and is usually a bacteria on the skin, so it probably got in around a stitch. The hospital gave me antibiotics, but he said it's pretty resistant, so my body probably healed it up on it's own. I saw my surgeon for my 8 week post op check, and he said everything was healing nicely, and you would never know there was any type of infection. Even he seemed surprised at how well the healing was for only 8 weeks.

I finally wore a real bra for an outing a couple of weeks ago, and there was also a day that I had to be at the hospital for tests, and went out in public with no bra!! In all my adult years, I've never once been out in public without a bra.. it was the most glorious thing. I sent a pic to all my girlfriends, and ended up crying in my car because I was so happy. I still haven't gone shopping or resized yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm now a D cup. I had saved a few old bra's that I loved, and was able to wear one of those comfortably. Even though I have a few of those, I really can't wait to go buy some new underwear and reeeaallly get to see what these babies can do now haha.

I'm so so so happy with my results. It really was one of the best decisions I've made for my life. I feel like a completely different person. I'm getting out a lot more, going on dates, enjoying my new body! I was really worried I was going to feel more out of shape after my surgery, but it was the complete opposite. It's amazing how small of a waist someone has when there's not a bunch of heavy boobage covering it. I had a lot of compliments on how thin I looked after.

For anyone considering a breast reduction, I say do it... But make sure you do your research first. Find a surgeon you're comfortable with and trust. Find one who's had results that you love! Don't settle for someone who's cheaper, or who can get you in quicker.

I had such a lovely experience with Dr. Sinclair and his staff, as well as the Banff hospital staff, even with all the hoops I had to jump through to get there. Wouldn't have done it any other way.

I am 15 days out. Feeling rather good at this point. Work is not busy this week so I was able to take an extra week which I think will just be enough.

Lets see.. lots of "zingers" as they say. I'm starting to get feeling back in my right nipple! Very happy about that. Still quite tired, but overall, I'm feeling pretty good. I am mostly just sore underneath where the incisions are. Still quite a bit of pulling when I lift my arms too high or try to reach, but I am starting to be able to sleep on my side so that has been wonderful!

I am so sooo happy with how they look and feel now. I'm so happy I decided to go through with the surgery! I am in love with my new body. I am happy to look at myself in the mirror and see a waist and not stomach covered by boobs haha!

I decided to go back for my 8 week post op check. I am excited to see what the doc will say then. It's funny to think about how much more they will be healed in 8 weeks!
