Struggling with Chronic Back Pain and Body Image After Breast Reduction Surgery

That will improve. The bra situation :). I know you said you “feel chubby”. May I ask, do you know how to do back strengthening exercises? I was also self conscious about my scars for a long time. It will get better. I promise.

I had a reduction over 10 years ago. My surgeon did not truly listen to me and I did not advocate enough for myself (I was 23 at the time). They didn’t reduce them as much as I wanted. On another note. Is your back pain better even the slightest? Things that help me with my relationship with my body is positive self talk - even if I have to force it. I look in the mirror or even lay and close my eyes and tell myself “I am worthy. I am beautiful. I am kind. I am more than just a body. Others love me for so many reasons (many other than my body). It’s really helped me. Try that. And here if you need a friend.
