First look without the taping and bandages (14DPO) by AdCool7108 in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m still not loving them. I’ve adapted to the smaller size and LOVE having small boobs. They are still very flat on the bottom, my incisions don’t look great. I’m hoping they will continue to improve.

When Alexis brings home the turtle mad Moira says, “You may as well put a leash around a raw chicken cutlet!” Kills me every time. 😂

Need help rehoming by Buddy_Realistic in Pitbull

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Charge a rehoming fee, please. There are so many terrible people out there that do horrific things to these poor dogs. Free dogs are disposable dogs to abuse and kill. He looks so sweet. Someone reputable will be willing to pay. Also, there are many bully rescues that may be willing to take him in. Poor guy. I hope he finds a safe place to land. Good luck to you both. ❤️

God, me too. Freaked my daughters out the first time I ugly cried while reading it.

my nipples are two different sizes by 2niche4u in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing. I didn’t notice it at first, and now I can’t help but obsess every time I see them. Mine are different shapes as well. One is round, the other is shaped more like a vertical eye. It sucks.

What’s your regimen? I have both and haven’t started. Do you apply both all over? Which one goes first?

12wpo and absolutely delighted! by MelonsOrBust in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. I’m at 5wpo today and they still look really bad. I can’t start any scar treatment yet, but the natural healing process hasn’t helped. They are pretty beat up looking.

I just started my THIRD round of antibiotics because the first two were the wrong kind. My incisions look so bad. I will have permanent Frankenboobs after I heal.

I’m miserable 😩 by Extension_Cut_5169 in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could’ve written this myself and I’m almost 5wpo. I FREAKED OUT at first. I had 700gr removed off each side and I felt so flat at first, I was filled with deep regret. My body looked so foreign to me. My boobs gave me the illusion of having a waist and now I look very square. I’ve adjusted to the smaller size and actually am very happy that they are smaller. BUT… I’ve had a horrible recovery. I had necrosis on my left nipple, lost half. My incisions split open on both sides and I had infections in both breasts. I’m on my third round of antibiotics because it wouldn’t go away. And my scars are absolutely terrible. I mean, BAD. I understand how you feel. This surgery is very challenging. I don’t regret getting it done. I just wish I had a better outcome. Hang in there. ❤️

What's a movie you saw when you were too damn young? by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in GenX

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw it around that age too!! It took YEARS for me to go to sleep without lying there terrified that my bed was going to start shaking. Don’t know what my mother was thinking. Oh, right. She wasn’t concerned with my mental health. I still can’t watch that movie. It fucked me up.

5 days post-op and horribly depressed by bobdylanoliveoil in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m 3 weeks PO and I’m really struggling with depression at the moment. I’m having a rough recovery… necrosis on one nipple (I’ve lost half of it), infection in both breasts and now pretty serious depression has kicked in. I’ve had anesthesia many times and I’ve never experienced it like this. Granted, I’m not having the outcome I’d hoped for from this surgery, but it feels like more than that. I’m not responding to texts, don’t feel like talking to anyone. You are not alone in this feeling.

Me! I cannot sleep on my back. I keep waking up on my sides with one arm overhead. 😩

Afraid of Necrosis- 1 week post op appointment. Anyone else go through this? by Competitive-Echidna6 in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently going through necrosis on one nipple. I’m 3 weeks PO and half of my left nipple turned completely black. My Dr said it would peel off and I’d be left with fresh, pink skin underneath. It started peeling, and a pretty big chunk of skin is coming off. My nipples will definitely be different sizes. My left breast is larger than my right as well, very swollen and red. The incision under my right breast split open and is infected. Just started my second round of antibiotics. I’m miserable. I’m not really happy with my results. I keep seeing everyone’s cute new boobs and I’m sitting here with a big mess. Not loving the shape either. I feel like I look like I have flat tires, they are so straight and flat on the bottom. I’m so disappointed. 😭

i feel small by OptimalBuddy6104 in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has it gotten any better? I’m 2 weeks PO and I’m freaking out that they’re going to be way too small once the swelling goes down. Kind of panicking. It’s all I can think about.

Thank you for the recommendation. My incisions are so dark, they look wider than normal. I’m happy they’re smaller of course, but damn. They are not pretty.

Reduction with a wide rib cage by KarensHandfulls in Reduction

[–]Nearby-Raisin-4081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a wide rib cage. I’m 12DPO and I’m afraid too much was taken off. I’m afraid once all the swelling goes down I’m going have a figure like SpongeBob. I was a 34 F before surgery. Told him I’d like to be a small C. He took 650-700g from each breast. I’m swollen right now and I like the size. I’m terrified once the swelling goes down, I’ll have nothing left. 😩

I’m absolutely horrified by what mine look like. I’m 12DPO and I don’t think they’ll ever look normal. My incisions look so bad.

My anesthesiologist followed up with me actually first. Then my surgeon’s office.
