Breast Reduction, The Start of Something New! - Virginia

5 MONTHS

So its been awhile. I have been really busy, buuutttt i am living life pain free and looking amazing! My back as not hurt since I got the surgery, I am amazed! I got my first sexxxxyyy bra a month ago because I worked out too soon and some of m incisions opened. It wasn't bad, and i didn't hurt. Dr. Mountcastle took good care of me. Buutt when i bought my bra from VS I was crying because it felt so good to have a cute bra. I love going out to eat and not having my breast sit on the table. I love wearing ONE sports bra vs SIX. I love being able to walk around the house with no ba on and not having them hang down to my bell button. I love being able to jump and not have my breast come down so hard. This has motivated me even more to loose weight. In the past month Ive lost 15lbs and continue to loose more. My scars are going away faster than I thought! I am so happy I went with this decision and regret nothing! Thank you Dr. Mountcastle, you have made me more confident and so happy!!

Oh yeahh.. I am officially a 40D...in VS bras I am a 38DD..but any other bra I am a 40D.

I went from a 40G to a 40D...ill take it ;)

DAY 8 & DAY 9:
yesterday was fine. I leaked more draining stuff because of my zip up sports bra is kind of tight. So I am changing my gauze more twice a day instead of once a day now. I showered again and this time I was able to shower on my own. I can wash my hair and do everything. I stopped taking my pain meds because they were making me go crazy when I slept at night. Meaning I wasn't sleeping well and was hearing things as well. It was scaring me so I stopped taking the meds. Last night I slept normally and nothing weird happened. I did sleep on my side and that was not a good idea. I'm hurting today.
I'm still upset about my right boob. Everyone keeps saying its just swollen and it will go down, but its hard NOT to notice it and its driving me nuts! My left boob is PERFECT! still swollen but it has a nice round shape and the nipple is in the perfect position. My right boob bulges out on the top and side and my nipple isn't in the same spot as my left one. Its weird because my PS before and after pics are amazing...I cant help to think that maybe he messed up on me. I know everyone says they will heal but when I look at everyone's pics their boobs are swollen too, but they are still the same size and do not look weird like mine. Its hard to listen to everyone when I'm the one looking at my boobs everyday. Every time I shower, or change my gauze I end up looking at my boobs for a long time. Looking at the good parts and then the bad parts. I was so upset about it, I cried to my mom last night. she said to mention it at my 2 weeks follow up and give it a month after that and if its still weird looking then maybe I have to get BS in my right boob again. When I got out of surgery my PS told my mom he took out 3lbs..But at my apt b4 surgery he told me he would take 4lbs out of my left boob and then 4 1/2lbs out of my right boob because it was bigger. So when I heard he only took out 3lbs I was shocked. Why wouldn't you take out more on my right boob? IDK Ill find out on my 2 week follow up how much exactly.

Sorry if I'm complaining, I'm just upset.
I don't want to get surgery again.

Other than that I am feeling fine. I told my boss I can come back to work next week. The only pain I feel is some "zings" or shocks in my breasts. My nipples are starting to perk out. B4 they were just flat and weird looking. It looked like I didn't have a point in my nipple. But now they perking out and look normal.

I will put some pics up later, I already have some from last week. I will take some of my boobs today since it has been a week.

Thanks for the support and the comments everyone. =)
