WORTH IT
Tip for the tender nipple problem I noticed 2 days ago my nipples were really starting to get sore and looking red so I put some gauze in them but it didn't seem to help so when I was in work today asked one of the docs to look at them I was worried about infection she said its sore from irritation she said maybe your bra or to much movement is irritating them as they are so sensitive right now So she went in her bag and gave me a handful of nursing pads ( she just had baby so breast feeding) and said try these I said shall I use any cream on them she said no Well ladies I have to tell you that was about 5hrs ago and my nipples feel 20 times better with the nursing pads Hope it helps you

Hi ladies
Well I'm now 16 days post op and still feeling great
I'm definately one of the lucky ones I've had no problems so far
I had no real pain after surgery was driving 4days post op was shopping for clothes 5/6 post op
This was the best thing I've ever done for myself I feel totally liberated its just unbelievable so for you women who are thinking should I or shouldn't I do this ? DO IT don't hesitate for a moment because if you ,like me and many of the women on here have suffered with pain you are not going to believe the difference
The biggest surprise for me is the difference I feel physically
I always knew obviously my heavy breasts contributed to the back neck and head pain I had been feeling but I also thought.... Well I'm 48 and getting older so that doesn't help
Well ladies I was wrong so wrong ALL of the pain I have had for yrs has been because of my heavy breasts . I swear its like a miracle all my back neck shoulder and head pain has stopped I feel better now than I did at 25 I can't wait to get the all clear from PS to work out coz I'm Gona lose 30lbs and I'm Gona post the pics right here for all the women who are hesitating on getting this done
I wish I had done this 20 yrs ago
I was lucky my insurance paid for my BR but I swear if I'd known it would have these results I'd have paid for it myself 20yrs ago
I want to wish all the ladies that are waiting for their BR good luck on your journey I'm so excited for you
And to all the ladies in recovery I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery
And to all a Happy New Year . God bless us all X

wow! i hope i look that good on monday during the unveiling! we don't live that far apart...i'm in northern maryland above baltimore. we should all have lunch this spring when we're all up for it! thanks for your posts...they are very encouraging.
I'm sure your Gona look great
That's a great idea meeting up for lunch in the spring im game for that lol
I'm glad my posts are helping some people . I've tried to be as honest about everything I've experienced on my journey but I also believe in positive thinking . If you complain and are full of doom and gloom all the time I believe it doesn't help your recovery . personally Im just so grateful to have had this done as I suffered in silence for yrs with shoulder neck and back pain that any discomfort from surgery is a short term minor hiccup in life . So for me this journey has all been positive .Yes is it uncomfortable not sleeping great for a while , yes are you going to have days where you are sore and your breasts are sensitive but you can't expect to have a few pounds of your body chopped off and not have some side effects , lets keep it real . But I feel truly blessed to have been able to have this surgery when there are so many other women out there suffering like I was .

Happy New Year huni! You are lookin FAB!! So glad you are feeling great & recovery is going well :) I totally agree with the difference in back, neck pain! things have been going great for me too...19 days po & the girls are pretty happy lol, posted up new pics today & i'm sure the healthy mind & body while on Koh Chang has done wonders! Big hugs to you [RS bleep]
Wow!!! U look great! What size were u b4? I'm 5 days from surgery and am 36ddd... Thoughts? C? B?
Hi rh
Thank you
I'm originally from the UK do in a UK bra I was about a 34hh when I converted it on line it said I was a L cup so I'm not really sure I do know I've never found a bra here that fits ( I live in PA USA ) I did try on 36ddd here once and I can tell you it didn't even come close to fitting
I asked my surgeon to make me a large b small c his words to me were do you want to be more b or more c I said b
I still have swelling under my arms where he lipo do when I'm finished recovering I think I will be exactly where I asked
Depending on what make bra I buy sometimes I ll be a c sometimes a b
I love my new breasts they are perfect for me
As far as making a decision on size I like most women on here was nervous I would be to big or to small so in the end I thought I'd rather be to small than yo big coz I can always buy a padded push up bra to make them look bigger but I sure didn't want them left to big coz there's nothing I can do about that
Good luck with your upcoming surgery don't hesitate to ask me anything you want x x
your boobies look awesome and i hope this doesn't offend but it took years off of your body too. those after shots i would swear you were in your 20s or 30s just by looking at your bod. How are you doing now? Did you start working out as you had planned? If so, did they hold up well after weight loss? I'm scheduled in less than 3 weeks. I have about 20 pounds to lose and I'm afraid they're gonna deflate on me. Kind of a silly concern since they have never fluctuated on me in the past with weight changes but still...I wonder. Anyway, cheers!

Hi everyone
I just came back from my first post op appt I had my stitches removed which I was really nervous about but uneccerarily as it turns out wasn't painful at all .i felt a little pulling sensation but nothing more really .
My PS was really pleased with my progress said I looked great said I could wear any bra now as long as it had no underwire
Now for the numbers he took 860 grams out of right breast and 680 grams out of left breast and he lipo the area as well so can add on extra for that so a lot of boobage gone
My PS also supplied me with some before pic so I'm posting them for you ladies to see
So I'm feeling great at 11 days post op

Hello I seen that you were from Allentown Pa! As am I, I just had my reduciton on the December 7th and you look great. Glad to see your recovering well.
Hey steph
Who did your reduction ?
Dr Samina Wahaab! I love her. She did amazing work. No drainage tubes. I was in at LVH at 6am, got my procedure done and was home by 3pm. Back to work 4 days later. I leave for my cruise in 2 days. She is allowing me to swim and relax.
Wow that's great . How much did they take ? What size was you ? Where do you work ? I only ask where you work I'm curious how you are being back in work
I don't remember how much she took off. But I was a 36DDD and she brought me down to a full "C". I weigh 160 pounds and everything was covered under insurance. I had notes from my family Dr! I work for Brown Daub as the Internet manager. So I am behind a desk. But driving was uncomfortable. I still wear my compression bra an gauze, an gauze over my nipples. Neosporan is my best friend! My incisions are fading very well. Plus the skin doesn't get dry and itchy.
I did change to a front fastening bra I bought from Walmart but I was starting to feel a little sore in it so I changed back to my surgical bra I no longer use gauze I started using scar cream yesterday (merderma) but to be honest think I'm Gona stop it at least for another week coz your supposed to massage it in and I'm still a bit squirmish about touching them
use Neosporan. I swear it works wonders!!! Its amazing. It doesn't hurt.
