Best Decision I've Made in 22 Years...- Dallas, TX

WORTH IT
I'm 5'7" and weigh(ed) about 140... size 32F bras were growing tight on me and my breasts just didn't match the rest of my body. I could hide three fingers beneath the sagging and had lost fat on my shoulders from the bras digging in. It was bad enough that insurance covered approximately 90% of the costs. I had the procedure done a few days ago and I can already tell that it was a great decision. I feel lighter, my lower back feels better, and I feel more confident, even in the surgical bra. I have J shaped scars rather than the traditional anchor-shaped. Once I've healed a bit, I plan to come back and add before and after pictures.

Adding pre- and post- op pictures
sarahbearaAugust 27, 2013
I see my doctor today for my first post-op check-up! We're removing the ends of the sutures and doing a general check-in. Here are some before and after pictures. Once the incisions heal, I'll add the "final" product!

It looks like you are healing nicely, I go in this week and am hoping to have the same results. Thanks for sharing, helps us future pre-oppers

Wow! You are looking great! This gives me great hope, as I'm about the same body size and shape as you were pre-op. I'm 5'7" and 145 and a 32FF...hoping to go down to a C...dr. asked me if I had a choice, would I rather him make me smaller or larger than a C...I said, definitely err on the smaller side! Will be following your progress.

I guess there must be some women out there who are unhappy with being smaller, but for myself, I just don't get it. Why go through all that pain and recovery and still be like a D or DD? If I go through all this and end up being not at least a C I'll be crying like a teenage girl with a bad perm. I guess sometimes they can only take so much without ruining blood supply and what not, and I guess if you are super huge, maybe a D or DD would be much smaller....not trying to judge, just trying to understand.

Got the surgical tape off!

I'm thrilled with the results. The scars are much smaller than I expected and are getting less noticeable every week. As you can see, my right incision is giving me some problems, I think it's a minor infection but my doctor says it's nothing to worry about. In the meantime, I'm rubbing Bio-Oil on twice a day. I see my doctor again on Tuesday, I'll keep y'all updated!

Hey, that are wonderful results :) What size did you want to go and what do you think they are now? Greetings

I wanted to be about a 32C, I think they're somewhere around a C or D, so I'm pretty happy!
