Almost 3 months and I’m a new woman

Wow, it’s crazy to realize that it has been 3 months since my surgery date…in some ways it seems like such a long time ago but comparing it to how long I planned and waited for the surgery, it seems like nothing. I’m SO happy with my new breasts, it’s really an incredible experience to see how different I look and feel. I never thought I could like the way my chest looked. I don’t regret having the surgery one bit. Although there is visible scarring on the under part and side of my breasts, the areolas barely look like they have scars and the scar down the front of the breast is minimal. I can’t wait to see what it will look like a year post op. I’m definitely a full C, small D but honestly that is nothing compared to what I was (DDD)…mainly it FEELS so much better than it did. I still wear a sports bra most of the time just because the underwire bras aren’t super comfortable right now (and I don’t know if that’s because I haven’t worn one in so long or because the scars are sensitive). I wear two sports bras right now if I go running just because I don’t want the perkiness to leave them! I have had no shooting nerve pain through my breasts which I am incredibly happy about and no problems whatsoever (and I hope I didn’t just jinx myself there). I am currently using a deep moisturizing lotion 2 times a day on the scars because my surgeon told me that lotion and vasoline are just as effective as the scar healing creams. So far there hasn’t been a huge change in the scars since they fully healed but I know they will fade bit by bit.

Truthfully I’m a little nervous for a guy to see them…I was together with someone for a while up until my surgery and that was nice to know that he was supportive and knew about it. Now that we are no longer together, it will be a little weird to “show them off” to someone who knows nothing about the surgery or how I felt beforehand. Beyond that, I have no insecurities about them and in fact LOVE them. I freakin love them the way they are now…imagine in 6 months! The total surgery bill for me was $100. Can you believe that? I am really lucky that this process was so smooth and easy, if you have any questions about how I did what I did, please post and ask. I honestly can’t describe acurately how freeing and amazing the results feel and I’m just so glad I did it. I will post a few more times on this site and put up any other good links to info on breast reduction surgery. Good luck out there to all those wanting to go boobless!
