WORTH IT

I developed early on and over the years my breast just continued to grow bigger and bigger. Now at 25 yrs old I carry around the added weight of size 40G breasts. My large breasts put alot of strain on my 5'2 frame. I have contemplated this surgery for many years but never really had the nerve to take it further than just thinking about it. Well finally a few months ago I decided to take a step towards the surgery that I had been dreaming about for years. I met with a PS who came highly reccomended from family as well as friends. I instantly felt like he was the right doctor for the job and that this in fact was something that I wanted to do. My insurance actually approved me on the spot while I was still in the office. ( very surprising) my pre op is scheduled for the 9th and the nervousness and excitement are all kicking in now. Anyone got any helpful advice r/t pre op and recovery ?

Welcome to the community! You will feel amazing when you are rid of this load on your body. Another week and you will be home recovering and loving your new perkies.

My best advice for recovery is to relax, be patient and allow your body to heal. You can't rush it so just roll with it.

I am happy you are here with us and look forward to hearing from you.

Miranda, thinking of u girlie:) use pain meds.. Mine worked well but I tried to move off Vicodin the 2nd day and that was too early... Consider sleeping in a recliner for a few days.. I used a body pillow over my lap to support my arms and used a u shaped neck pillow to alleviate neck soreness while sleeping. Worked soooo well! Once drains came out I had so much less pain. I have been using crushed ice bags under armpits which helps with discomfort... Keep me posted on how you are doing sister:) xoxo

Soo.. Today was my last day of work until after the recovery phase. Should be going back to work around the 1st of next month. Lots to do in the next two days. Got to get everything situated , house cleaned and all that hooplah. Started on my meds today my oral antibiotic as well as nasal oint. Antibiotics. It's really starting to sink in. I've waited for this for so long and now here I am just a couple days away. I was wondering in regards to those of you whose surgery was covered by insurance approx what amount did you have to pay out of pocket for the surgery. They won't tell me until I call tues( day before surgery) and its just driving me crazy. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!

Hi i didn't have to pay anything out of pocket for BR but I also had lipo under arms which wasn't covered under my insurance as its cosmetic and that cost me $600 . Good luck with your surgery
