Hi all! I am getting a reduction on the 19 and getting pretty nervous, I have been looking it up and would like to know some tips from anyone whos been there. What is the recovery time like? how long has it been usualy and what is the pain level like? I am getting the vertical/lollipop incision. thanks!
Welcome!
I second Tawlie's suggestion about reading reviews. Hearing first-hand from patients is a great way to set your expectations. You can also filter the reviews by different criteria, so you can see just reviews from 18-24 year olds for example. Feel free to ask questions and chat to people too; everyone here is super-helpful and can give you lots of advice on what to expect.
Finally, check out Kimmer's "13 things I wish I'd known before my Breast Reduction/Lift surgery" -- she's been through it and her article lists lots of things you might not have considered (like when to buy new bras).
