Well, I promised I would post them!

Yes, the event you all have waited for is here! Many a male friend has complained that my boobs have disappeared without said friend getting a peek. Guess what? You all get one.



Before:



After (it's FRANKENBOOB!):

After the stitches were taken out:




I know that all of them except the Frankenboob pic are slightly blurry. This is because all but said pic were taken in the mirror. And yes, I know there's a lot of white space. Paintshop Pro doesn't like me today.

So, er... whaddya think?

Well, I'm sure there'll be less straining on that back of yours like you planned. Hopefully it'll stay that way until old age when it happens naturally.

Woah, awesome battle scars! Those are some wicked stitches...look madly painful though, I winced when I saw them.

I think the operation was a success doctor, and they look great. All you need now are a couple peircings and they'll be perfect *grin* (j/k of course ^_~)

I dunno, the only piercings I want are for my eyebrows. And maybe my tongue, I dunno.

eyebrow piercings are awesome...I love them on other people but I couldn't pull them off myseld.

Two of my friend's got their tongues pierced last week and they're both healing really well. One of them was avtually telling me how surprised she was at how little the piercing had hurt.

s-s-stitches. *faints* I'm glad everything worked out, and from what I can tell they still look natural :)

*shudders* Bad piccys!! I swear, when I saw the one with stiches, I almost went into convulsions...

But now maybe I can finally have bigger boobies than you!!! *strikes pose*

A few questions (from my wife)

[antigoneschase.livejournal.com]

She wants to know:
How do you feel about the reduction (in general)?
How long was your recovery time?
Have you lost any sensation in your nipples?

She's a DDD and is seriously thinking about a reduction... but she is worried about the after effects and about if she will lose sensation in her nipples.

Re: A few questions (from my wife)

DDD? Whoa... that's one D more than I was. I can't remember the exact procedure they used on my breasts, but they did not detach the nipple -- instead, they cut around the nipple, remove skin and tissue, and pull the skin around to cover the breast. That's the only way you won't lose sensation in the nipples.

Technically I'm still in recovery (swelling won't go down for 3 months, yikes!), but there's about a week (for me at least) in the beginning where you're sore as all get out. They gave me Vicodin, but after a few days I didn't need it. And you have to sleep on your back for a while. But after that (and especially after the stitches are out, which is about a week after the operation), they should only be slightly sore, and that's only if you squeeze them or something.

And, finally, I'm feeling great about the reduction. I look smaller all around, I feel better, and my back isn't giving me any problems. My opinion is that your wife will be happy with the reduction, if she so chooses to get it. Oh, and tell her that it's a little weird breathing at first, because the skin is stretched tighter across your chest, but that she'll get used to it quickly. Hope that helps!

One more question:
Did you do it by choice, or was it Dr. recommended for you?

And the information helped a lot, actually! :) Thank you for answering.

No problem! Glad to help!

And it was technically by choice, though my mom suggested it to me.
