WORTH IT$6,400
Hi
I have been lurking for awhile but have finally decided to join since my surgery is in just 23 days! I am 49 yrs old and I weigh 152 lbs. (recently gained about 5 lbs that I cannot get off~ so frustrating!!) On June 13th I am getting a breast reduction, lower eye lid, and chin lipo.
I am wearing a 34DDD in Wacoal brand bras right now. My doctor asked me to bring in a Wacoal bra in the size I wanted to be. I would like to be a 34C, I think. But, the picture of me wearing the 34C makes a 34C look REALLY small. After reading all the reviews here I am really hesitant to ask for a D because it seems like more women are wishing they had gone smaller than bigger.

The girls look like they are a nice size for you. Congrats and enjoy resting. I am 19 days po and Saturday was my first day without a nap. I was fatigued but made it through the day.

our before and after are pretty similar. Glad to hear you love them and it looks like the healing is going well.

Thanks! You are right! We have very similar results and looks like we were similar before too and about the same weight and I height. Only my sister and best friend can tell I had anything done, so far (that I know of). I am off from work this summer so hopefully when I go back in the fall if anyone notices they will think I lost weight. My sister gave me the best compliment...she said I look more comfortable!!

Huge improvement! I'm sure this was a big relief to you and on your body. Congrats.

You are looking awesome!!! Are you still in the surgical bra? Did you end up asking for the C, or the D?

Thanks! I asked for D cup. The doctor had me put on the 34d cup bra before surgery so he could see approx how much to take off. I spilled out almost as much as on the c cup in the photo. The doctor exclaimed "wow" when he saw me in it. I don't think I look much smaller to most people. ...I am not going around asking everyone! To me they look tiny when I am undressed and in clothing they still look "ample". Main thing is that I am so much more comfy. I was just in bandages for 5 days. The nurse said the stitches would hold everything up for that long. Then I started wearing a fruit of the loom front closing bra. At night I have been wearing a cotton sports bra that just pulls on. A couple of nights for comfort I have just worn a tank top b/c of soreness. I figured as long as I was on my back it wouldn't hurt anything.
