Posted 8 Sep 2010

I finally had breast reduction surgery and went from a GG to a DD. I met with 4 ASPS board certified plastic surgeons in Orange County, CA and finally chose one after a year of consults & research. I have a very low tolerance for pain & this was WAY better than I feared. It was NOT painful, just very sore. I used the pain pills for about 2 days and then nothing. After 2 weeks, the soreness is much improved and after 5 weeks, I felt 100%.

I am so happy with the size of my breasts and the lift is incredible!!! The lift is the cherry on top! They look absolutely amazing and I can go into any store and buy a bra off the rack. I fit so much better in my clothes and am no longer embarrassed and strategically hiding my bustline with baggy clothes, jackets, etc. I also don't have rashes or neck pain! I really wish I had done this sooner. I would recommend this procedure to any large-busted woman looking for relief. It's incredible! Oh and my surgeon was fabulous. Not only does she had a wonderful bedside manner but her surgical skills are top notch. My breasts are absolutely beautiful.

My rating:

Dr. C is a delightful woman and an artisan plastic surgeon. She explained everything in detail to me without me having to ask. At our first consult, she spent over an hour with me and I really felt at ease with her. As a woman, I knew she understood how important my breasts were to me. She listened to my wants and needs very carefully and she exceeded my expectations. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She is a very skilled surgeon & a wonderful lady.

have they started to sag a little yet? I love the lift sooooo much...I don't want them to ever sag again!

No not so much sag but they are softer and very natural looking. Still perky and up there!! I think women who go without wearing a bra end up sagging.

I was just wondering after a whole year how are your scars looking?
mgallagator 26 Jan 2012
My scars are BARELY even noticeable! I'm caucasian of Western EUropean descent which tends to not scar. I barely even used Bio Oil on the scars so with very minimal (if any)lotions or creams, you can barely see any marks. Plus the breasts have dropped a wee bit, which also helps cover them. My hubby comments how gorgeous they look and how he can hardly see any scars. But even when the scars were new he said he didn't really notice them. I would NOT let the possibility of scars deter you from this procedure. I love my new boobs!!!

I'm having my reduction on Feb 7 and so very excited though nervous. My surgeon and staff have been absolutely amazing so far and I've heard nothing from the best from others in my area who have had reduction done by Dr. Rollins. Hard to imagine what I'm going to look and feel like

Thank you for the update! You look so great!
