Had 632g from right and 802g from left. Weird thing is now my right looks slightly bigger than my left. Oh well, still love the outcome. Went from a DDD to a D.

I am currently 38ddd and really want to go to b/c cup. One month away from surgery , is now the righty time to ask? I forgot what she said at consult.

I had 7lbs removed. Around 3100grams.

WIncredible 14 Mar 2013

I don't know each side, but 650 grams total. 1.5 lbs.

soilschick 12 Mar 2013

I don't remember what PS said the grams totaled. I know he took out 3.2 lbs from one breast and 3.4 lbs from another breast.

I had 550 g removed from the left side and 820 g taken from the right. I'm hoping to go from a DD (or whatever I really was...) to a B/small C. Surgery was a week ago today.

How many cup sizes did you all drop from straight after the op to say, 3 months after? I'm on day 10 and have just measured myself using an online guide and I'm coming out at a 32e (was 32ff) is it realistic that I could get down to my desired C after a few months have passed?! I'm trying not to panick as I know I'll still have loads of swelling but just wondered whether it was possible to drop that much?

No panicking Ems! I haveno clue when we will truly know, but do know now is to soon. Just relax and enjoy that they are smaller and will get smaller. As I say this for you I stencil it to my brain for me ;)

I had 264g from the right and 342g from the left. Feels like so much more than that though. I am so happy with my new girls. They are 3 mos. old now.

Ems123 2 Mar 2013

I think I have had about 270 from my left and 400 from my right, massive difference! I'm only on day 1 post op so have no idea what cup size ill be! Obviously very swelled at the moment and only look a little bit smaller, only difference is their not tucked under my arms when I'm lying down! Haha

How are you feeling today? Did you sleep in a recliner?

Ems123 2 Mar 2013

No I am still in the hospital bed which obviously has the remote thing to lift it up and down so I'm just alternating between sitting up and lying down, it's actually comfier to lye nearly flat as when I'm upright the incisions underneath sting! Have been told I need to start moving round a bit more though, I'm such a whimp I'm scared too! Haha feeling very stiff and stingy but otherwise ok! Every time I get up I feel a little better so that's a good sign!

smallboobies 2 Mar 2013

Lol I am scared to death! I have a needle phobia so you can imagine my fear! Glad to hear you are doin ok at least. My surgeon has a center so I will be in & out. When do you get released?

Birch 2 Mar 2013

Congratulations Ems, So happy for you that you are on the other side! Sending you some Brave Mojo lol! Glad you are feeling ok aside from some stiffness and stinging. Rest lots (and move around a bit lol). Keep us updated on how you are doing. Thank you for sharing. It's so helpful to women like me who are waiting to have their BR.

Ems123 2 Mar 2013

Honestly don't worry it really isn't that bad at all! In the biggest worrier ever and I'm coping ok! Even the nurses have been saying I'm terrible with the amount I'm worrying! Haha I got the go ahead to go home today after a one night stay but I was booked in for 2 so decided to stay the second night, more for my peace of mind really having the nurses on call for another night! I'm being waited on hand and foot as well so figured I've paid for it I may as well make the most of the care!!

Ems123 2 Mar 2013

Thanks birch I'm glad it's over now just got to concentrate on healing! Nurses have told me I need to move around a bit more so planning on having a little walk round my room in a minute! I'm feeling that little bit better each time I get up so I'm sure ill be fine to head home tomorrow!

smallboobies 2 Mar 2013

Well get some moving in for sure then! Do you have the drain?

Ems123 2 Mar 2013

Yeah I had drains in for the first night and they came out this morning, there was hardly anything in them which I guess is a good sign! Feel much more mobile now their out, was carrying them round in a pillow case!! Haha

arielllie 1 Mar 2013

a little over 1000 grams from each side. I went from an H cup to a D/DD (I am now 5 months post op.)

ToyaMD2013 28 Feb 2013

580 from right, 584 from left.

Birch 25 Feb 2013

My BR will be taking place in April, and my PS has recommended removing at least 750 from one, and a little more from the other to correct the size difference I have. It will be interesting to find out how much he ends up removing.

NoMoreDDD4Me 24 Feb 2013

about 500 and 600 gms-2.5 lbs total

Charlie123UK 24 Feb 2013

275g and 225g. Wish he'd taken more :-(

Beachy74 19 Dec 2012

519 grams on the left, 676 on the right. I was a 36, some bras ddd (f) and some dddd (g). I'm now what should be about a full c. Only 8 days post-op. Right was obviously bigger than the left pre-op.
