25 Days and Counting!!!!

Well, it has been almost a year since my procedure was performed and I could not be more pleased with the results. I'm actually scheduled to see my surgeon on Aug. 26th. This was a great experience and I would totally do it again. My scars have healed. My internal swelling is pretty much gone I believe. No pain, no numbness, no lost of sensitivity! I actually gained sensitivity that I did not previously have. The shape looks great! Heck, I even wore my first push-up bra lol! Who would have thought I would have ever put on a push-up bra! Ha! I can wear buttons and clothing with zippers. I can button up all my blazers and close all of my jackets. I can workout for hours on end and have no back pain. I am very very pleased!

I cannot believe that 92 days have passed since I had my reduction! I could not be happier!

Life After - I had some shedding of skin, not near my incisions, but on the actual breast itself. That has since stopped. The surgeon said it was normal. My breasts are still swollen in some areas, but the surgeon said that was normal as well. My breasts are relatively firm but getting softer. I actually liked the firmness and was hoping it would last forever. My breasts were also red for a while and that has gotten a lot better. I've been using silicone strips on my scars. The strips are a little expensive depending on where you buy them. I believe that using them is really helping with the scars (which aren't that bad).

Overall, I am very pleased. My breasts are starting to settle (poor word choice lol) and take their form now. The boxey shape is gone. These puppies aren't saggy though and I can go braless which rocks! I never realized how much I loved clothes and buttons.????????

Now that I am free of gigantic saggy boobs I can put a whole mess of everything together and it works! I have added a few pics of my reduced little big ladies as I call them.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Healing! I love this forum. The support I received was invaluable and totally amazing ????

It's been three weeks.

No complications to report.

I'm still very swollen especially under my arms. The itching has subsided some as well.

Overall my back feels good. My breasts still look box like with the swelling, but everyday it gets better. I came on my menstrual cycle and boy do my breasts feel like ass. They are super tender and hurt like heck. At first I regretted the surgery and missed my big breasts and the attention it brought especially after I went out with a friend recently. Then I realized I was tripping out. This was the best decision I ever made. The shape kind of sucks but it will get better over time and I'm fine with that. I can't wait to get out this surgical bra. It is so uncomfortable and to be able to sleep in a position other than my back. I start scar treatment on Monday and get the tape at the incision area changed for the first time. That should be interesting. I hope it doesn't hurt. I also have a lot of zingers, too. Every time my nipples get hard it's kind of painful, but manageable. Bargain, overall I feel great! No regrets!
