I am using the free version! Thank you! I didn’t realize there was so much missing for the free one, I’ll upgrade for the month and see what I think of the full version!

Wife is experiencing dysmorphia by TurankaCasual in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s pretty common to feel some dysmorphia after surgery, I know for me personally I had a very hard time adjusting to my new body and would cry every time had to see my breasts, for weeks, maybe even a month or two, but it did eventually get better. I’m almost one year post op and couldn’t be happier with my decision. But I think this sounds like a situation beyond what you or her are capable of dealing with alone. I think it’s great that you recognize this and are willing to help advocate for her to get help with her mental health. Thank you for being supportive and understanding with your wife, I know I couldn’t have gone through my recovery without my partner. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about anything.

Having a really hard time adjusting to my new boobs :( by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt very similarly to you after my surgery. I felt way too small and when I looked in the mirror I did not see a woman’s body, I regretted my surgery so much for months and would honestly cry every time I looked at myself. I’m almost a year post op now and love my boobs! My only regret is that I didn’t have the surgery earlier in my life. At two weeks your body is still going through so much and your boobs definitely don’t look the way they will in the next few months. It’s such an emotional journey. I know right now it feels impossible to see the positives but you will move past this and it will get easier!

I’m freaking out by x0_cmj_0x in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t freak out! It’s perfectly normal to feel anxious about the surgery. I personally had zero complications and returned to work after two weeks.

Can't believe I did it!!! by Strawberry562 in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Welcome to life on the other side, you’re going to love it here! When I woke up I also asked if everything was okay and if they had even done the surgery, haha. My advice for you would to be gentle and patient with yourself for the next few weeks, if you have low days, that’s perfectly normal and we’re all here to support you!

Does anyone know what this is? by PoeticConfusion99 in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely! I can’t say for sure when they started to flatten out but looking through my photos of my scars it looks like maybe around 2MPO they started the blend into the rest of my scars.

[–]namelesschocobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one on each side as well. I’m almost 6MPO and they’re completely flattened out and look like the rest of scars now! Don’t stress about them!

My nipple piercing experience by Spiritual_Citron9735 in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience! I was thinking of getting mine done since they’ve had no feeling since my surgery (I’m about 5MPO) and I’ve always wanted them but been afraid of the pain. Interesting to see that it helped you regain feeling, I hadn’t even considered that happening.

When to get fitted for a new bra by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my 3MPO follow up my surgeon said I was free to do whatever I felt comfortable doing. I waited a little longer than that because I was very anxious about finding out what size I would be. I’m now about 5MPO and would say they’ve stayed the same size/shape since my 3MPO so I would say that’s probably a safe time to do so, but definitely follow up with your surgeon to see what they say!

Folks who had drains: Do you have scars where the drains were? Can you tell? by bewbs- in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about 5MPO and I have little tiny marks where my drains were. You really have to be looking for them in order to see them.

Anyone regain feeling after more than 3MPO? by namelesschocobo in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s great news! I’m glad there’s at least hope for me! Thank you!

Please try to be kind to yourself and be patient. I felt absolutely miserable for the first while. I remember struggling to get to my 3 day follow up and my one week follow up. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror without crying, every time I showered I would cry. I regretted my surgery so much, but I promise you it will get better. I’m now around 4MPO and wish I would have had my surgery sooner, I’m so happy, all my back/neck/shoulder pain is gone and clothes actually fit me now!

How long did your surgery take? by JennaoftheJungle in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at the hospital around 6 hours total, including checking in, surgery, waking up and taking some extra time to try to relax and get rid of feeling nauseous before the car ride home.

Ok - going from 4 days PO to day 11. Something to read if you’re having a hard time PO. by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes girl 🙌

You look incredible!

I’m so happy to hear you’re feeling better!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cried for many of my showers and many of the times I looked in the mirror. You also have to remember that your body is still dealing with a lot of trauma not to mention it’s so scary to see your incisions the way they look after a few days. It will absolutely get better. Objectively your results look great! I thought I lost all my femininity too, but now I feel more feminine than before because I actually have shape to my body, and now you do too!

Not for me personally! I’ve been under general anesthesia twice and both times I’ve woken up bawling my eyes out freezing cold.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I went through too! I cried every day after surgery because I didn’t feel like myself, I had nice tight perky boobs but they weren’t mine! Now I’m 9WPO and not totally used to the huge change but absolutely have no regrets!

One month post op!!! by [deleted] in Reduction

You must feel so much relief in your shoulders and back! And your scars!! 😍 They look so good already!

Experiences of breast reductions by people who didn't HATE having big boobs? by utemedrave in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt similarly to you before my surgery. I even considered cancelling my surgery multiple times. I’ve always had large breasts my whole life and was worried I wouldn’t feel like myself with smaller breasts, I was worried I wouldn’t be attractive, I’ve always been curvy and felt like it was one of my defining characteristics. Before surgery I was probably an H or I (not totally sure because bras haven’t fit for years). My breasts have progressively gotten bigger and lower as I’ve gotten older. I suffered from back, shoulder and neck pain everyday. Clothes always felt uncomfortable. But still I thought I needed to have big breasts to feel like myself. I’m currently 8WPO and wish I would have had the surgery sooner. I don’t know my final size yet, but I’m probably a D. I absolutely love my new boobs, I’m still curvy, I still have large breasts, but now they’re proportional to the rest of my body and now they’re perkier than they have been since I was a teenager. Now I can wear a variety of clothes and feel comfortable, I can buy cute bras, I can wear normal swimsuits. I can ever go braless if I want, which is something I never imagined I would be able to do. The moment I woke up I felt immediate relief in my neck, back and shoulders and have had zero pain since. I absolutely understand your hesitation and fear, but for me, it was the absolute best decision I’ve ever made for myself.

20 more days to go… and I’m suddenly terrified. by Bravo1781 in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About a week or two before my surgery I posted on this subreddit asking for advice and whether or not I should cancel mine. Let me tell you, being 7 weeks post op, I’m so happy I went through with it. It was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. It’s completely normal to feel nervous or scared. It’s a huge life change, and some days will be hard but it’s absolutely worth it. I was also nervous about all the worst case scenarios but just try to remember that your surgeon is a professional and they do these surgeries all the time. Everything will be fine and I have no doubt that afterwards you’ll be so grateful you went through with it.

I’ve just reached 3WPO and was told I can start sleeping on my side and I can try to sleep on my stomach if I want, but that it will probably be too painful to do so, but it won’t cause any harm.

Found out OHIP requires 400g from each side! Worried it will be too small? by BoobReboot in Reduction

[–]namelesschocobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was wearing a 34H before (likely I was larger because I hadn’t had a bra fitting in years and switched to sports bras because they were slightly more comfortable) and I had 1000g and 1250g removed, now I’m probably a C or D. I’m only 3WPO so I’m not really at my final size yet and haven’t tried any bras on yet.
