Posted 15 Aug 2011
So, I am a 41 year old that had horrible pain in the neck, shoulders and back due to my breasts. I was a 38/40 G and I am now a lovely C cup.
My reduction went great!!!! The surgery went well and apparently I took a 4 hour nap in recovery but I warned them ahead of time as a mother of 3 under the age of 7, I was going to take advantage of all the sleep time I got! lol
My drains actually come out today. My dr left them in a bit longer since I was draining well. That has been a bit annoying but if it speeds up my healing all for it!
I wasn't really nervous except with probably the usual stuff we think about. Scarring, pain and what am I going to do with this bras!
The surgery went great and my pain level has been really manageable. I was off pain meds at the third day using them only at night and tylenol during day.
My biggest issuse has been having to sleep on my back- I hate sleeping on my back! Funny how such a small thing can irritate you so much so I got all the pillows I could find and made this nest that supported my arms, shoulders and etc. It made a huge difference in me getting sleep.
As for my new boobies...yaha! Scarring isn't bad espicially if you prepare yourself beforehand of what it will look like. Mine is really looking good. I was going to post photos but my hubby (policeofficer) vetoed that for now until he is more comfortable with it. But I am taking photos.
I decided to go down to a C cup and I think I have made some woman nervous because I cannot stop looking at boobies whereever I go!! Funny fact though is how many woman have either had the surgery or knows someone who has and then the talking begins.
My shoulder, back and neck pain are gone almost in full allready. My boobies haven't been this high and small since I was 12!!
I will update more today after the drains come out.

Dr. Bisseck actually answered allll of my questions wonderfully but sometimes if you don't know what to expect then how can you ask? One reason why I love this site so much. The office staff is exceptionally friendly and outgoing. They have always been wonderful to talk to about my concerns or what I am going thru. I have not listed my cost because due to luck (haha) I had to have a hysterectomy this year too so met my deductible and such!



You must feel like you have a new lease on life! So liberating!
Thanks for sharing your experience here on RealSelf.
I am so happy for you!!! See I told you that you could do this and all would be well. It's really hard to describe to someone how you feel after. You just have to experience it to totally understand.
You feel light, free and refreshed.
So here is to your perky new rack:) ENJOY!!
Keep us updated on how you are doing.
Big Hugs to you
So I am very swollen around my midriff due to all of that but on an irrevelant note, I noticed that one of my internal theme songs was gone. You know the one were bill Cosby is singing the Jello song...watch it wiggle.....see it jiggle.
Need a new theme song for the new girls!
LOL...we will have to come up with a new theme song for you them:)
I hope everything turns out ok with your daughter. It's sometimes just not easy being a mom:(
