WORTH IT
Boob kept itching. Pulled off my bra and seen this. I hope it's a bug bite to be honest. I haven't had ANY issues with my breast. Don't want none now. ... Also I still haven't started scar treatment. Been lazy too lazy to go out and get vitamin e

Bummed out

I've been putting off updating. I've been a bit depressed because I've gained 10 pounds since surgery. Bummer. But anyway I had my 2nd and last post op appointment on January 12th. The dr said I'd healed beautifully and this was the worst my breast would look and they would get better from here. So he didn't need to see me again. Told me I have 18 months to get sensation in my nipples back. I don't care. I was excited about scar treatment but tbh I haven't given it any thoughts and haven't rubbed so much as lotion on my breast to treat the scars. My scars aren't bad so I can live with them. I'll try some vitamin e. I just really need to get over this drag and get myself together. I'd lost sooo much weight before surgery and to see it coming back... My own fault... It just sucks. But anyway I just wanted to post an update since its been 2 months since the reduction.

Sorry to hear about the weight gain bummer. =/ Your results look so great! Are you allowed to just burn off the 10 pounds again or will it be bad on your result?

Yea I'm gonna get to work and get back on track. It won't mess with my result. I was just disappointed with myself because I worked so hard and then I got my big boobs off and got lazy. But the up side is I can exercise a lot better and more frequently now that I've had a reduction. Thnx for the compliment!

I've gained some weight back too. It was tough being down with the surgery over the holidays. Give yourself grace and remember your original motivation. You've got this!!

Well so... It's been a month! I have my month post appointment on Thursday. Ready for scar treatment. I haven't put anything on my breast besides the soap and water that I've been using. I think my scars look great so I'm anxious to start piling my skin down. My breast are so dry. There's still some glue on my areola. I've lost sensation in my right nipple and still have not regained any in the left. Which I'm totally fine with that. Wouldn't care if I ever got nipple sensation back. Both nipples respond (perk up) to touch and temp. I still have the hard knots in my side boob under arm area from the lipo. The top area and middle of my breast are nice and soft and jiggly. The under boob area is kinda putty like.. I say putty because when I stick my finger in it... The tissue indents. So as you can imagine I have a lot of indentation from my sports bra. I am 100% pain free. Aside from the dry skin and indentation itchiness... I haven't had any issue with itching. I got hot and sweaty so I took off my sports bra to get some air... And it was sooooo weird not having to lift my boobs up to let the bottoms air out. Buttttt anyway I'm not having any extravagant changes so I'll do an update when I start scar treatment. Or if the dr says anything worth updating about on Thursday. I tried to get some pics in good lighting. My lamp makes my skin look so shiny. I opened the window to get some natural lighting but thought better of giving my neighbors a boob show.

Congrats!! They look great!! I can barely see your scars, so I'm curious about what kind of scar treatment youre doing and why? I lol'd at your "not having to hold up my boobs to get air" hahahaha!!! My left nipple perked up the other day and I got so excited!! But I'm like you, I really don't care about sensation, I was just excited about good blood flow!

I'm ready to start vitamin e'ing these boobs. I was worried about having glued incisions. Scared my breast would come undone. But now I'm so thankful because the scarring is minimal. So I'm anxious to see if I can make these faint lines disappear all together.

You look great! Can't believe those are your pics at 1 month. I hit a month tomorrow and still have tape on so no idea how my incisions look. I'm crossing my fingers they will look as fab as yours!
