After Breast Reduction: How I Learned to Trust Again


When you’ve spent years in pain, discomfort, or frustration, trusting your body doesn’t come naturally — even after breast reduction brings relief. You may notice every sensation, every twinge, every stitch. It’s easy to feel like you have to track, manage, or question everything happening beneath the surface. I lived in that tension too — hovering over my healing like I was waiting for something to go wrong.


This post is part of my From the Vault series — revisiting the earliest pieces of my breast reduction journey and sharing them again for anyone who may have missed them. Trusting our bodies isn’t something we flip on. It’s something we rebuild, one gentle choice at a time.

Hi, I'm Shelley Beyer.

I’ve been through breast reduction surgery myself, and I’m here to support other women on that same path—before surgery, after surgery, and in the everyday healing that comes after.

​

I believe in reducing inflammation through a carnivore way of eating, preparing the body with intention, and creating space for the emotional, physical, and spiritual recovery this journey invites.

 

If you're navigating your own transformation, I’m so glad you're here.
