ORIGINAL POST

I've been looking forward to this since forever!...

WORTH IT

I've been looking forward to this since forever! I've been holding on for a while trying to lose weight from 191lbs to 155lbs in hopes that my boobs will disappear. Unfortunately not, they're still around. My band size reduces and boobs stay the same (ddd). The pain has become so unbearable that my fiance finally thinks its a wise decision. I've ahd enough. Last night, he had to massage my shoulders twice because i was in pain.

I'm currently a 34ddd wanting a 34c-d. I love full breast. I think a small D will be fine.

My Stats: 5"10, 34ddd, 155lbs with a BMI of 25. I think i'm a good candidate for reduction. I wanted a lipo, but as my pictures reveal, my girls are headed down south already.

Excellent young beautiful Plastic Surgeon. I waited one month post-op to leave this review for a breast reduction surgery. She's easy to talk to and attentive to you and most importantly, she's got "good hands". My surgery was pain-free, complication-free and easy. I got out of surgery with zero-pain though I'm healthy and never required any doctor's visit for anything. I recommend her to anyone in the Houston area. She knows her stuff!! I'd be honest that her team sucks!! I don't care who reads this, it's an opinion based on my experience. If you care about an extensive follow-up with your nurse, go find you another surgeon. Dr. Blakkolb prolly hired a ghost as her nurse cos' I've never seen or heard from that person, not even a call post-op, not one. I don't care for all that pampering and stuff, but what about other patients with health conditions that may require continuous follow-up? Her office only contacts you when its payment-related. They mess up your insurance information and are unresponsive to insurance requests. You gotta DO-IT-ALL-BY-YOURSELF. I called BCBS everyday. In fact, they were all celebrating when I was approved for surgery cos' they were tired of my calls...Lol.. The front desk ladies at UT West-loop are excellent too. So far, it been a life-changing experience. I chose the right doctor. Thanks Dr. Blakkolb.

Same for me!! I lost weight and my band got smaller but my cup stayed the same. I am a 34G and I can't even go to lane Bryant anymore due to my band size being too small for my cup size. The lady recommend to Nordstroms. I went there and after an hour literally a triangle and bras ended up with the bras you have posted which I hate because they're so full coverage and I can't wear cute little shirts with them.

Hahaha I can relate. That's a good thing for insurance coverage because a smaller band shows that the cup size is the issue. I went down to a 32ddd/f and they approved me for surgery.

Yes I'm hoping I get approved because I just can't deal with this anymore. I am so happy I found this website to see I'm not the only one going thought this. I have Kaiser so I guess I will see what happens. I'm really excited at the possibility. I have so many people telling me don't do it but they don't know my struggle.

An I a good candidate for breast liposuction (reduction)?

BooobZSeptember 8, 2013

If you notice from the pictures, my left breast is a cup larger than my right. I'm a 34ddd, but would like to reduce both to 34d ( 2 cups down on my left and One cup down on my right).

Will my breast look too saggy afterwards?

Thank you!

You will look great afterward. With a reduction comes a breast lift. Typically the doc will use an actor pattern which allows for a fair amount of tissue to be removed and allows for more access to get a good lift. I would search this site and find women who are similar to you pre op and see what their post op looks like. Asymmetry that you have (one being a cup bigger) is extremely common. You can see what after results you want and talk to your doc about your wishes. Good luck in your journey. You will love the results :)

Thanks for the encouragement. I went to see a doctor. Hope to see at least 5 before I choose whom God will use on my body. Stay blessed!

5 was the magic number for me too! I am getting a lift with my reduction so I'm not saggy and I think that is standard nowadays. Good luck finding a surgeon!

Need feedback on the ff docs for Breast Reduction

BooobZSeptember 11, 2013

Admittedly, right after safety and experience, pricing is a huge factor in selecting a doctor. :) Yea, but it's what it is. I've narrowed down 8 doctors that I hope to schedule consultations with in the Houston, Sugar Land and Richmond area. Some are free anyways. The list is in order of preference based on extensive research spanning months, word of mouth and realself pictures ................

1. Dr. James Boynton 2. Dr. camille cash 3. Dr. Malik Kutty 4. Dr. Sam Sukkar 4. Dr. Malik Kutty 5. Dr. Cortes (seems like BBL is his fortay. I need a breast man :) lolz). 6. Dr. Jason Bailey 7. Dr. Vitenas 8. Dr. R. Bidros

.......... Nipple sensitivity, total nipple removal, type of incisions, symmetry and God forbid, potential complications are also important. Can anyone make recommendations for BR surgery based on experience?

Did I mention that I'm in grad school spending half of my time on boob research than schoolwork. Hehe! I swear I could give an excellent presentation on breast surgery if there's such a thing. Stay blessed Y'all.

Good luck finding a doc! You are really smart to do lots of research. I hope you find the right doc. During consultation see if your doc has before and after pics in the office. This may be your deciding factor :)
