GOO BE GONE LOL
11 months post

UPDATE

ten months post opt I have a little size difference not as bad as before had a revison done on side boobs at 4 months and now looking to check into a TT I had my BR paid for so the TT wont be paid for looking for average price and maybe having the new surgeon checking out my REDUCTION maybe a little lipo to one side? Photo included why I needed BR to begin with photos of my extended scars for revision I need to find all my breast photos scattered across my pc :P

I like the results for your side boobage I don't know if mine is fat that I can shift with weight loss I have always carried my weight up around my back and chest my surgeon didn't do lipo and my horizontal scars are very short, but my surgery was done on the basis of relief for back and neck pain on the public system as I don't have insurance so I don't know if he would do a revision as it is more for cosmetic reasons

IF insurance paid for it (like mine) should pay for the revision sometimes surgeons in clude that in the package Mine was medical necessity as well I would check into it

Hi, I'm considering a BR from a 36DDD to a (one hopes) B cup, so your experience is really helpful to me! I hope you don't mind me asking a bunch of questions: Do you think the side issues and needed revision were because you went so small? Did you have any troubles with blood supply in your recovery? That's what I read and hear most from CS who don't want to go that small - risk to blood supply. I know you said you lost about 3 1/2 pounds in the reduction, but do you know what the grams were for each side? Finally, why do you want the new surgeon to check out the reduction and where do you want the lipo? Do you think your first surgeon should have addressed it in the initial surgery? Thanks for any answers you have. I'm really wanting to go as small as you did, but want to avoid any revisions or complications since I am paying for it.

So, how are you at this point? I'm on with my BR, July 8! Can't believe you have all the neck issues, too. I might, but don't know. No surgeries, thank God. Touch base when you can.
