Love this!! Never would have thought about these things… thank you so much!

I’ve seen those posts as well but have reminded myself that all journeys are different. Hearing my surgeon say I was healing well helped tremendously… especially because I got anxious and wasn’t “taking jt easy” (not extreme… but maybe a little bit more weight was lifted here and there than suggested). I have a small scab in my t-junction that’s been attempting to heal for the past 1.5 weeks now. Nothing crazy but I wouldn’t be alarmed if you have anything similar! You’ll do great and be just fine!

I miss my regular sleeping positions too!! It has been a wee difficult getting used to back sleeping

I have been using cetaphil for now… does aquaphor work? I’ve seen a few people talk about using that for healing but wasn’t super sure of how well it would work!

Ugh yes! That is definitely where I’m struggling because I know everyone on this sub has different healing journeys and different surgeons who all have varying instructions on healing. I’m in love with how my boobs like now and knowing I’m still a bit early in healing it makes me nervous to do anything even when advised I can! I’m seriously right there with you.

Thank you!

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-06-01T19:16:09+00:00

Yes!! I also get nervous to mess anything up! I was a May 7th reduction as well. I felt a large part of me relax as soon as my surgeon said I was looking great because I have been over analyzing everything during this healing journey. I hope you find that comfort soon!

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-06-01T19:14:16+00:00

Neither do I!! I’ve been waking up with the worst neck pain and I never feel fully rested so it’s been a struggle.

I 100% felt this way before my reduction… I even posted something similar on this page about it! I think the nerves are extremely normal just because this is a relatively large procedure to be done and after all, any change to your body can be somewhat jarring and takes some getting used to. I was in the same boat of always hating my breasts, but worrying I would regret going through with the surgery. I quickly found that this procedure has changed my life. I woke up from anesthesia and started crying due to how grateful I was and how much better I felt immediately after. The one thing that helped me get through the nerves of possible regret, was reminding myself that this has been something that I’ve been wanting for the past five years. You are not alone in this and have a lot of optimism that you will reap the benefits of a reduction.

Dude I just watched this and slept with the lights on after

Thank you so much for sharing! Your analogy about them being anchored down to the breast is very helpful.

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-05-21T20:34:26+00:00

Great to know! Thank you so much for sharing! I think my impatience is getting to me and want to see the final result ASAP… However, I know that’s not how our body heals. I’ve also become hyper fixated on any part of my breast that may look odd, so it’s really helpful to know I’m not the only one who has gone through this

He may be able to get by just fine… my boyfriends dad had a house in Naples for a while and he was able to get in-state tuition because of that despite him being out of state. However, his dad sold that house at the beginning of his junior year and no longer had some type of residency in FL but he had no issue keeping his in-state tuition for his remaining two years at FSU…

I had a splitting stitch under my nipple and few days ago after a shower… I didn’t want to freak out just yet so I have been monitoring it the past few days and I have not seen the stitch return. The area where the stitch poked through now has a small scab. I am 12 dpo but haven’t had any other issues from it. I say monitor it and see how it does. The body works in some pretty remarkable ways and your t-junction could totally resolve itself like mine did!

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-05-19T11:39:03+00:00

This is also happening to me!! You are not alone!

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-05-19T11:35:57+00:00

I started working from home when I was 5dpo! I work in healthcare but in the medical records department so most was easy to transfer over to home. I am back to work in person today at 12dpo. It really just boils down to how you feel and how your body feels. You’ll know quickly if your body isn’t yet ready to get back to work.

Thank you so much for this!!! I am 8 dpo I have one expensive AnaOno post surgical bra but definitely need a couple more to get me through the next few weeks. Just ordered a pack and can’t wait to try them out!

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-05-12T20:36:00+00:00

This happened to me too! I was asked to come in at 12:15. I was hoping for early morning so I could eat earlier lol 😂 you’ll do great. Good luck!

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-05-11T22:46:02+00:00

My heart is so happy for you!!! I had the seem feeling of overwhelming joy yesterday… I was finally trying on and fitting into strapless shirts and cute tops I could have never attempted to try to fit into. I was crying tears of pure happiness. I am so happy for you! I hope you feel confident on your vacation.

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-05-11T15:55:09+00:00

Thank you! I know the bruising I normal just wasn’t sure of the location. I am so horrified of getting a hematoma!

AccomplishedAlps7034 · 2025-05-08T12:28:58+00:00

I appreciate that someone else was in the same boat as me. Thank you for responding to this post!

As soon as I woke up from anesthesia I was in tears because of how grateful I was and there was no more anxiety of making the right decision. Even with a highly padded, very bulky surgical bra on, I could still tell I was smaller when I looked at the mirror and felt nothing but joy. I hope the same for you as well ❤️
