WORTH IT
November 7th will be one year post op and I am still extremely happy with my results! I have seen my doctor about3 times since surgery and I have one more appointment in December. I only had one little hiccup in the recover around Easter time so 4-5 months after surgery where I had a large blood blister form on the lower part under my nipple. I called my surgeon and he said it was just a stitch working its way out. The blister eventually popped and I kept it clean with some saline and gauze I had leftover from post op. It all healed nicely and my scarring has gone down a lot. I continue to use bio oil somewhat regularly. In the end I am a 40D which I am happy with!!

Hey, the results look amazing. I was wondering, when you sought OHIP approval was that started by the Plastic Surgeon or your family doctor? I'm curious because even though I have 32K sized boobs, my family doctor says my headaches, shoulder pain and neck pain is due to stress not my K cups. I was wondering if you needed your Family doctor to write on your behalf to OHIP?

I went to see my family doctor first and he put in my referral for the surgeon. But the ohip process was started by my surgeon on my first appointment.

Same here my OHIP approval was started by the surgeon not the family doctor all I got from him was a surgeon referral.

Hi-I'm from Ontario but currently in Calgary-we are moving back to Ontario next year, and this coming August we are coming there for a vacation and I am just scheduling an appointment to see Dr. Grace. Just back in January I had a breast reduction w lift and lipo on the breast sides with Dr. Jugenburg in Toronto, as well as a tummy tuck and some lipo. Not too happy with the results so far. I am currently 9 weeks after surgery. Did you really like Dr. Grace and were the results what you expected? Did you find the follow up care adequate? Also-with your reduction-how long did it take you to come down a lot in size? For scarring I use Bio Oil as well. I have barely come down at all, and yet he took over 330cc's out of each breast-but still wearing a 36G bra, which is what I started at-I only have a little bit of slack in my bras, which is enormously disappointing and I am so frustrated. I am so swollen all of the time. Any more info you have would be appreciated!

Hi! I personally loved Dr. Grace and I think he did amazing work! He was very honest with me from the beginning about the size I would be after surgery. I had wanted to go down to a C but he felt that wouldn't be possible in terms of my body type and my own safety by not removing too much tissue. He was extremely helpful afterwards and I continued to meet with him up until a year afterwards. I felt that my breast were much smaller immediately following my surgery but they have changed shape a lot. Right after surgery it was almost like an upside down boob where as now they sit perfect and they are nice and perky. I think now I am sitting at a DD however they are SO much lighter and much more comfortable! It took about 9-10 months before they finally started to take normal shape! I hope this helps!

Thanks for your comments! Right now I have been so disappointed by my PS in Toronto that I am worried about having anything else, and yet at the same time, working out and diet is not getting me anywhere, and Dr. Jugenburg said he will re-do the lipo and the breasts in November to take more out. But I don't think I want to have to see him for anything other than to fix the current surgery. His follow up is bad, and so is his bedside manner. This whole thing is frustrating right now, and I wish I had gone to another doctor in the first place, like Dr. Grace.

Wow your results are incredible! I am frantically scrolling through reviews trying to find young woman with similar starting sizes and overall body shape to me and you are pretty similar! Do you mind if I ask how tall you are? Congratulations on taking this step, and I hope it is everything you hoped it would be :)
