Breast Reduction too small

[Mercy777]

It has been a week since I have had my reduction. I was a 38DDD and I don't know what I am now. I asked my surgeon to try for a 38C+, I am well aware that there are no guarantees. I haven't done any measuring but I stand next to my teen who is a small B and we look pretty similar in size. I looked at them for the first time yesterday and I freaked out. I cried, I'm depressed, I'm having anxiety over how small they are, I don't want to go into public. Is this normal? I keep telling myself that I'm being silly, get over it. It is what it is. I've read about other people who have had this done and they love it. I think I am in shock. Please tell me it will get better. Am I going through some kind of trauma? I can't even look at them with all the stiches and bruising it looks hideous. Although the shape is nice and they do stand at attention, so when I use the word hideous, I mean the stiching and grossness of all that.
Thanks,
Mercy

You will get use to them.  I went from a 36FF to a 36D.  It is quite a shock at first. Just think you will be able to wear cute bras and not have the straps digging into your shoulders.  If after a while your still not happy with them you can always have a small implant put in.

Just wondering how you are doing.  I recently had breast implants removed, and even though I did so for health reasons, I now feel depressed, anxious, and ashamed of my body.  I went from a natural looking 32d to an emaciated looking 32 a/b.  Similar to your first post, it has only been 10 days since my surgery.  They're just boobs, but I feel a sense of loss that I hadn't anticipated before the surgery.

Grincie,
I have forgotten that I posted a comment on this site. Sorry, pain killers must have gotten to me. LOL
I am doing fine now. I have gotten over the shock of thinking I was very small. It was all in my head. Actually, I think I was squashed in from the packing and that hospital bra. I have not worn a bra in 3 weeks and it feels wonderfuI, I haven't been able to go braless since I was 9 years old. LOL I am probably a C or C+. I am happy with the size but I am still sore. I can't wait until I heal up. I didn't realize it would be this long. I also can't wait until I can lay on my side without a pillow for support.
And Yes, I have recovered from my psychological problem. I can't believe I went through that, it is not like me. I hope you have gotten use to your new girls too.
