I had a breast reduction AMA

[Bigtitsbetty]

I had a breast reduction two weeks ago. I’ve gone from a 34GG/H to a 34D.

Crack on with any questions!

I couldn’t shower properly for two weeks because of the tape. I just strip washed and baby wiped under my arms. I used shower below my chest line and had baths.

It’s interesting, as somebody very confident about their fashion sense and the way they look, since deciding to have the operation I actually hate my bust and I felt very dowdy ever since

I’ve not bought any new clothes since apart from a dress for a funeral but I’ve bought a fair bit from Vinted.

I’ve bought lots of work clothes and they’re all a lot less frumpy, body con skirts and tighter tops. I feel so much slimmer than before.

Yeah I think that’s a huge part of it @Bigtitsbetty i look much fatter than I actually am … really.. cause all you can see is these huge boobs, I hate being in photos because it’s the first thing I see, so it’s good to hear that you feel slimmer.

Oh I’m so pleased for you, interesting losing a bust even though doesn’t take a weight off makes you look so much more slim! Starting to worry about recovery now and a bit sleepless.

Psst. It’s me! I’m all done.

Congratulations! How are you?

Yay how’s things?

Bit sore but so relieved. Limited teaching ability !

They removed .. well I’ll let you guess. A sweepstake today : guess in pounds Results in later!

Reaching *

I guess about 5lb

I’m going for half a stone, 7 pounds

4lb?

I hope you’re doing ok.

5lb

6lbs … can’t remember what size you said you were 🧐

Yup. 5.5 lbs! 2.5 kg. Can’t believe it.

Wow, what cup size were you? Mine are a JJ and feel so heavy. 😕

Hmm. At least an F
everyone is right , who says it’s not really pain, it tweaks a bit if you pull a stitch, but it feels like a pressure, or for me at felt like quite bad sunburn, and youre wearing tight clothes on too.
no drains. Overnight in lovely hospital with bacon sandwiches.

It’s the most literal expression of ‘taking the weight off’ then! Which is honestly the thing I want the most … counting down to surgeon no 2 consult in Jan, fingers crossed I like them!

Ps.. thx for updates - it massively helpful & encouraging 🙌

No problem, I found this thread very helpful. Thanks @Bigtitsbetty !

Just been to the dressing change and everything is doing really well. A couple of little blood spots in my boobs an attractive yellow colour.
I would definitely advise against mothers of young children having this done, unless the toddlers et cetera went to their grandparents for a week.

Because, although you’re okay, you’re a bit addled from morphine or painkiller and you really can’t move your hands beyond the T-Rex hands someone mentioned earlier in the thread

Just in hospital after my op this morning. So far so good!

Congrats! Did it all go wel?
How much off? 😀

Congratulations! What a lovely early Christmas present for you! Hope you’re ok.

Had anyone had it done at a Scottish surgery and could they recommend one?
