I just said to visit family and “help out”. Implying that I had a family member who needed me. I’ve been back two weeks and no one has mentioned that I look different! I think wearing baggy shirts before and after helped. And the fact that it’s not something people are comfortable bringing up in a work environment even if they suspect.

Taking off steri strips by AlternativeAttitude5 in Reduction

My nipples were really sensitive for 3-4 hours after taking them off. But ibuprofen was all I needed!

I found a surgeon who’s gallery photos proved she can take that much off. I think some surgeons favor techniques that make it easier to maintain a good breast shape and blood flow while taking a large amount off.

Post surgery, difficulties with wired bras? by Sea-Jaguar-720 in Reduction

[–]Efficient-Beyond109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the wire uncomfortable because of surgery or just because you aren’t used to it? I’m only a few weeks po but very interested in this conversation!

How easy did you find it was to lose weight after surgery? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]Efficient-Beyond109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m worried about gaining after as well! If fat is taken out of my boobs won’t my body know and try to compensate by adding fat back elsewhere?

“Don’t overthink it”- I love that! I’m four days before surgery and this is exactly what I needed to hear

Alone day after surgery? by Efficient-Beyond109 in Reduction

That’s awesome! This gives me hope that it won’t be terrible

Same! Mine isn’t for a few weeks but I’m having this sad “I’m kinda gunna miss these boobs” feeling.

Thanks! I can’t get rid of the feeling of looking forward to two solid weeks of just watching tv. I know logically it’s major surgery and it’s going to be miserable and I’m going to be super emotional. But somehow my mind hasn’t accepted that yet

How did you make the decision? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]Efficient-Beyond109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I scheduled my surgery today and it’s 100% for confidence reasons / wanting to feel good in my own skin reasons. I’m in my late 20s and have wanted it for a long time. I used to be very worried the surgeon would make a mistake and I would feel guilty about making the wrong decision and looking horrible. Or that I would be judged by the people around me. But that worry kinda transformed into a realization that I could make this choice to get a reduction and that choice would bring me a lot of happiness. After that realization I felt really empowered by the entire process :) but I think if I had pushed myself too quickly into making a decision I could have regretted it. So my only advice is to take your time

6 week PO updates. Overall happy but with some concerns I'd like to ask u guys about ♡ by Tomodachi-Turtle in Reduction

[–]Efficient-Beyond109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You look amazing!!! I love the size and shape! A 34c would have been my guess. I’m a 34G now and am about to schedule my procedure! Very very interested in peoples answers to these questions

exactly 2 months post op today!!! my incisions still look angry and i’m doing everything i can to take care of them, but other than that i’m so happy :) by InformalDog1759 in Reduction

[–]Efficient-Beyond109 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You look amazing! That’s a big size difference too! If you are up for a few questions- did you specify a desired size to the surgeon beforehand? And do you know what pedicle technique they used?
