WORTH IT$10,500

I am a small person 5'-1" and had extremely large breasts. I was completely top heavy at a size 40 DDD. My neck, back, shoulders, and head hurt all the time. I felt old and just plain ugly. I had wanted this procedure done for years and finally just had to go for it. Best decision I have ever made...well that and the Tummy Tuck. I am now a perfect size 34 full B and love it.

If you are considering this procedure don't drag your feet for 19 years like I did. Just do your research and go for it.

I wish I had done this years ago. I am so completely happy with my results. Would do it all over again if necessary.

I have had so many people ask for pictures so I have decided to post these.

Hello all of my beautiful ladies!

As you all know RealSelf and helping people is a passion of mine.  I want to spread the word to as many as possible about our wonderful breast reduction community.  This is an amazing support group and I know we will continue to support and educate many others.  So in order to do that I am asking for your help.

If you have found value on RealSelf and want to make it easier for others to find this information here are some ways you can help spread the word:

Use the social media tools on the left side of the page in the breast reduction review section. Click on Google +1 and Facebook Like.  You will need a Google account to do this but that is very easy to set up.

I thank you all and really appreciate your help:)
Hugs,
Kim

Bikinis, fun and sun in the Dominican Republic! 

The hubby and I are heading out on a 12 day adventure vacation tomorrow morning.  I freaked him out at told him it was an “All Nude” resort!!!   Just kidding, no place to hide the tummy tuck scar there….LOL

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be 47 and wearing a bikini in public again.   Thank goodness for tummy tucks, breast lifts and lipo.  So is it wrong for 40 something’s to wear a bikini??

While I am gone there are some wonderful ladies who will take great care of you.   I will be back on December 19th.    So don’t panic when you don’t hear from me for a couple of weeks. 

Happy Holidays to everyone:)

Those incisions are a bit scary but it looks like you healed up great. What a change! Thanks for sharing your photos.

Yes they were very ugly to start!   But all turned out well and I am extremely happy now.  I think I lost about 4-5 pounds off my breasts. 

Feels good now!

Thanks for being brave! You're looking great.

OMG, Your BR look great and looks like you healed nicely. You were about the same size I was Before the kids,(perky 38DDD, after kids, I went to a not so perky 38H). I opted just to do lipo on my breasts, since I was a candidate for it. I take off my bandage wrap later today, so I'm anxious to see how it will come out... Look out for pics
February 26, 2011

Hi Girl!

I will be anxious to see your pics.  I have read about several woman having the lipo procedure on the breasts and are pretty happy with it.

I have to say that it is nice not having breasts that hit my waist when I sit down :)

I won't lie, your incisions scared me at first.

but you healed up great! I can't wait to see what my breast look like in 7 months.

Oh it scared the hell out of me also :)   I wish you could have seen my hubby's face...priceless! 

Yes I did heal very well and love my results.  Lots of massaging with the oil!  I broke the think scars down really quickly with very firm massage.
August 2, 2011
Kimmers, how often did you masssage your breasts, and for how long? I am 4 weeks post-op and using Bio-Oil. I try to do it twice a day, but sometimes manage only once. I think my scars are progressing nicely for the short period of time that has passed, but I still hope the thick, lumpy ones across the bottom will improve. My question is: should the massage be painful? My breasts are still tender, particularly on the sides. I noticed you said "very firm massage" but that is difficult for me to manage. What do you think?
August 2, 2011

I massaged mine 2 times a day. Morning and evening.  

Use firm pressure but not so it hurts you.  As you heal it will become less and less painful to do so.  What helps break that scar down if the firm massage.  That will smooth the thick areas.  

Use a circular motion and start at one end of the incision and work your way around.  

I can't even feel my scar line anymore.  Persistence:)

I wanted to add my five year post op picture.  As you can see they are holding up!   They did grow a little bit due to my estrogen issues.  Gotta love turning 50:)
