44 Year Old Breast Reduction (38G)

I have had big boobs all my life and hate them. Can never find a bathing suit, wear the same 2 bras all the time because it is so hard to find a good one that fits. They tend to go up and down when I loose and gain weight but recently have been the biggest they have ever been. Got measured at a 38G. Finally decided to look into a breast reduction and went in for a consultation. I had to quit smoking and was TERRIFIED of the whole idea of the procedure. Not sure which was worse- the quitting smoking of the thought of the surgery itself. After consultation and they came back and told me it would be covered by insurance. I smoked for 30 years and quit cold turkey 6 weeks ago. Despite my anxiety and fear for the surgery , I decided to go through with it. As the day grew closer my anxiety was so bad I thought about canceling many times. My surgery was yesterday and all went well. I have been looking at this website for months so thought I would share my story and my before and after pics. The pain has not been that bad at all. Honestly the part that hurts the most is where they did lipo near the armpit area. The worst part is having to sleep on my back. I do feel like they are kinda small but I guess that is normal since I am used to them being SO big. Doctor said they are about a D now but they look smaller, not sure. I am looking forward to seeing what they will look like in a couple months as well as bathing suit & bra shopping. Not to mention the relief on my back! I just hope they don't turn out too small.

Today is day 6. Bruising is still pretty bad and my boobs look kinda yellow. I hope thats normal, I think its just bruising going away. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for sutra removal. I cant wait to get out of this compression bra!
