35 year old, no kids, 36 F/G, now 34DD. My wish has come true!

I'm like 5 plus years post and I still am SO thankful I did the surgery. I'd do it all again! For the past year, my work-out game has been on point. At least 6 days a week, I do cardio and strength training. I couldn't do half of what I do before, it was too uncomfortable and painful. Now I do as I please :)

I can't believe it's been over 3 years. Regardless of the twists and turns in my journey, I am still so glad I did it and it really has been the best thing I've ever done. I've gotten a lot better with looking at scars daily and such, which is good. I don't remember the last time I lifted anything to look for that. It's almost like it didn't happen sometimes from that perspective. However, I have been very sick over the past year. Because of my illness it's caused my gut to not tolerate many foods well and it's caused me to gain some weight again. On top of my illnesses, I discovered I have a parasite so I'm working on getting rid of that to hopefully fix the weight gain soon. With the extra pounds, I am so stressed that my boobs will grow back. I keep thinking they look bigger than they did when I first got them reduced.
I just looked through ALL of the pictures in my review. If they have grown it's a tiny amount but I am scared to death hormone issues will allow them to keep growing. Definitely trying to think positive. I've worked so hard for many years to be healthy, medicine-free, and I even graduated from nutrition school to help others. So obviously this is super hard for me because of the work I've put in.
I remember the days though leading up to and after the surgery, everything was boobs boobs boobs. It didn't help that my initial procedure lead me to a second procedure for my nipples and then had some scar correction done, so it was a longer journey than most for sure. It was good to take a break mentally and just focus on overall health. It's funny because when you start the journey and you see the scars and you hear that one day they will be so faded, but you don't believe it. HAHA. It's true though.
I doubt anyone will see this update because my initial review is so old :) But, if anyone does land on this, I hope you're well and recovering smoothly. If you're thinking about it, do it! If I can help, please let me know :) xo

Two years later here I am. They are not “perfect” but in my eyes they are :) because they are a part of me and I went through quite the journey to get here. I’m not ashamed. I love them. And my hubs loves them just as much as I do :) lol. My confidence level has sky rocketed. What I can wear now is never ending. Yay! I exercise with zero issues too. Oh and my fancy “bra drawer” keeps growing lol.
I’m living my happiest and healthiest life and I’m thankful for this surgery that really helped me put into high gear. Weight loss, better health and all. Yes, my nipples are wonky but I don’t see that when I look at myself. To me, I’m just thankful to have them. I don’t feel them much but I didn’t before the surgery either. They still perk up though so that’s all good. Thankful. So glad I did this! My surgeon was amazing. With all of my twists and turns, he was there to support me. I can’t say enough great things about Dr Perez. Hope you ladies are healing well and I’m here if any of you have questions or just need support. Xo Cheers!
