My Breast Reduction - 1 Year Post-Op

Hi ce! It's officially been one year since my breast reduction and I wanted to give you guys (and myself) an update.

Size (pre-op)
36HH

Size (post-op)
36D

Weight of breasts (pre-op)
~12lbs

Weight of tissue removed
3.5lb from my right breast and 4.5lb from my left

Why I ultimately decided to get a breast reduction
The main reason was pain. Physical pain. And lots of it. Because my breasts weighed in at around a total of 12-13lbs, they would put a huge strain on my back. Sure, that might not seem like a lot of weight, but having it constantly pulling down on my chest was exhausting. My back would often seize up and I wouldn't be able to move for hours.
Another lesser reason for getting it done was cosmetic. I hated the way they looked and felt. And being just under 5'0, it looked unnatural and top heavy. I hated them.

Recovery
This part was a little difficult. I was bedridden for almost a week after surgery. Luckily most of that time I was on oxycodone. You don't realize how often you use muscles in your torso until you suddenly can't use them. I had an army of pillows at my disposal to create a sort of ramp for my back to lay on and prevent myself from rolling to my side in my sleep. Getting up was also a nightmare. I had to have my sisters pull me up by my shoulders if I wanted to get up for any reason.

Scarring
The scarring has healed quite nicely, if I do say so myself! I never used any kind of creams or oils, so I'm surprised at my results. They went from a bright pinkish red to an off-white color. And with me being pretty pale that makes them almost invisible

Regrets
I have none! I love the way they turned out, I love the size, I love the freedom it gives me, I love everything about them. My back hasn't so much as ached for over a year, and my self confidence is the highest it's ever been. My breasts are small and I love it :)

About one week post-op, you can still see the lines they drew on beforehand

Three weeks post-op. When I tried on this shirt I burst into tears because it was a medium. I didn't have to wear baggy shirts anymore

It's pretty obvious she wasn't an alt of anyone if you actually paid attention.

Also, polymer hasn't been here in years. People give him way too much credit.

Good use of breast reduction, imo. Physical symptoms are the point where it becomes reasonable to consider surgery. Good to hear you're having a good outcome from it. Sometimes people who have a reduction don't get the improvement in pain they were hoping for.

Often times weight taken on in the breasts is not going to just go away with weight loss. Especially at that previous breast size, it's not like TC was 250+ pounds over weight.
