I’m a little behind on this update, as I haven’t had much to update. We’ve been really busy getting ready for Christmas and so most things went by the wayside. The healing process is still going really well, surgery wise. My incisions bother me less and less every day and my new bras make me feel more normal. I’ve started going through my clothes as there are a lot of things that don’t fit me anymore. There are also things that look better on me now than they ever did. Case in point: this dress I made a few years ago. The ability to wear it without a bra excites me.
I feel better in my skin than I have in a long time. I get a lot of compliments when I see people for the first time post-surgery. I’m still really tired from the PE, but that could take weeks to months to really get back to normal. I just have to know my limits and take care of myself when I hit them.
I also put together a page on this site to show the healing process with photos. This page is most definitely NSFW, and if I know you closely, I really don’t need to know you’ve looked at it. When I started doing research, I found it really helpful to see what the incisions and scars looked like from a breast reduction. It also helped to find people who went from a size similar to mine to the size I was thinking about. Seeing the comparison really helped me prepare, and I wanted to pay that forward. Although I haven’t uploaded a before photo yet, I’m hoping to get access to the one that the surgeon took and add it to the photo gallery soon.
That’s all I’ve got this week. I see the surgeon again tomorrow. I’m hoping that some of my weight and movement restrictions are lifted and I can start doing more normal things. I’ll post again about that in a few days.
