Post op day 18. I wanted to wait a while until I decided on the "worth it", but at this time I have to mark no. I was apparently much less educated than I realized. After finding this site I felt very comfortable. Unfortunately, I've learned there is more than one way to do a reduction. I wondered why mine was so different from the reviews I've read, and I'd say the simple answer is bc I apparently had a free nipple graft, and most of you have not. Believe it or not, I thought that was the only way to do them, and it is not how they are generally done now (dumb me). Anyways, my right nipple/areola has lost a lot of tissue. It's pink underneath but if its healin at all I can't tell, the black spot is still attached, there is just a giant drop from half the areola to the other because of the tissue loss. I don't know how it could possibly heal without a giant scar. The t zone is also open, and it looks like the left t zone could start opening as well. My back feels good, however I am 23 and now I know there will be NO shot at breast feeding (I knew it was unlikely but I've heard many who could produce some), I have no nipple protrusion, and I will most likely have some ugly scarring. If I were older, this stuff may not have as much of an effect on me, unfortunately I am not. Anyways, glad to see everyone else is healing great, happy for you guys. Maybe some day ill be able to change my review?

They did not seem to be worried at all. Right may be a little slower to heal but he says that will fall off and new skin is underneath. Hopefully things start to look a little prettier in the coming weeks!

its so easy to freak out especially when they scare the heck out of us with the risks!! Waiting to see the boss seems endless when you are worried. All I'm going to say my end is that they will not look 'right' for a while! Let us know how it went. xx

You are very right! Internet can be a bad thing (not including wonderful sights like this). I'll be anxious to see how they change the next few weeks/months! Thanks

It's difficult to transition from 'the girls' hanging out around my waist to up and around my ears. I was told by a co-worker who had BR surgery last January, to start lightly massaging 'the girls'. And that eventually they will get softer. They feel rock hard after 1 week post surgery.

Hey, My one nipple looked like that too! But honestly the blackness just flaked off and when I peeled off the top dead layer all of the nipple underneath was nice and pink! It took quite a while actually, just be patient and it'll all be good!

It was more like peeling thin layers of dead skin off, and it lasted a while.! Once I peeled off a dead layer of skin sometimes it would peel again a few days later until the skin underneath was healthy. I would say..3-4 weeks before my nipples stopped peeling haha. Even now there's sometimes dead skin that's rubbed off onto the inside of my bra or tank top!

It looks like a blood blister with scab...the nipples take a while to heal. Just keep in close contact with your doctor but I think you will be fine.
