For many years i have had large breasts. as i called them massively huge. Right through school and into my adult years i always had boobs. They kept getting bigger and bigger over the years and caused me grief. But i just put up with it and accepted how i was and got on with life even though deep down i was in pain and i was silently wishing i was never born to have such huge boobs.
As any girl with large boobs will know it is depressing. not only on an everyday basis but little things like buying bras, tops and dresses to fit and to look good too. it was an impossible job and i would only end up leaving the shops every time feeling down and horrible about myself. but i was used to it because it happened every time.
Im 28 years old and until recently(may) when i had my operation i was a 16G. i was big!!!!!!!
I made a visit to my family lady gp in my local area and asked questions about breast reductions.i had made the choice myself to go and atleast ask questions. to get myself started on the decision i was about to make.
before i even finished what i was saying to her she had already written down Dr Mark Edinburg's name on paper and said to me i cant believe you haven't already got it done,
call him he'll help you and you wont regret it. and of course she was right. i have never looked back and could not have asked for a better doctor to look after me and give me what i wanted. new smaller boobs!!!!!!
i straight away went home. sat on my bed thought about it for ages..... looked at the paper and the number for a while and was so scared to make the call. more nervous than anything.
After making the call and spoke to one of the lovely ladies on the phone asked a million questions and without hesitation she answered everything i needed to know. all the ladies at the office were beautiful. i dont think i could have asked for such nicer lovely caring ladies to help me with all my calls and questions and enquiries i made over the last few months. def made my time and experience alot easier and calming. they were lovely and i appreciated everything they did and the treatment i got. they were gems the whole time!!!!!!! just gorgeous.
after talking to me family and my partner about it i then got back on the phone and make a booking for my first consultation with mark.
i waited 6 weeks for the appt but it was worth waiting.
From the first appt to the last appt i had after my op i walked out feeling happy and cared for.
I instantly knew that i had a great doctor to look after me and i knew i had made the best choice ever to have this operation done.
after my appt i went home read all the info in my pack and did any further research i needed to do then called back and booked in my actual operation.i was booked in fairly soon. an only had to wait a couple months for the op. (private hosp)
i was proud of myself for doing it and to this day 3 months after i still am.
I checked into the hospital early. got taken to my room and sat there for a little while till i saw all the nurses and doctors i needed to see.
I wasnt scared or nervous. i was excited and couldnt wait till we got the show on the road. i just wanted to get in there.
When i finally got wheeled to theatre i was so excited i cried!!!!!!!!
the last thing i remember was being told to relax and a lady rubbing my arm,.
4 hours later after the best sleep of my life i woke up in recovery and it took me a while to remember where i was and what i just had done.!!! when i did finally realise i looked down my gown and saw my new.. little!!! much smaller boobs. i couldnt believe it and was so happy. all i could do was smile and say omg omg omg omg.
i wasnt in any pain. i felt sick from the anaesthetic but that was the worst of it.
I had drains coming out of the side of each breast. they were draining out any fluid and blood from the breasts. i couldnt feel them in.
they didnt hurt being in there but stung a little when they were removed 24 hours later. but they didnt worry me at all. i knew i needed them so i was ok with it.
the hospital stay was great. (killara private) the nurses were lovely and gave me everything i needed to be comfy and get sleep for the night.. they were all great and i couldnt thank them enough for their care.
I was only on panadol every 4-6 hours yes thats right panadol!!!!! thats it. and an anti inflammatory and an antibiotic for a week.
The most pain i had was a little tightening and pressure on my chest but it was manageable and never was i in pain where i couldn't handle it. I was suprised myself how little pain i had.
I was home the next day by 130 and from there i was on the lounge and recovering for 2 weeks before i got back into normal every day activities. I slept as much as i could. i found that every time i slept then woke up i was feeling better every time. sleep helped alot. and your so tired from the operation you sleep anyway. i finally showered after 4 days. that was scary but didnt hurt my breasts cuts at all. actually was good to get some water on them it was quite soothing.so dont be scared about the water when u can shower. it will be ok.
i had a 1 week post op appt. they changed my dressings and gave me some new ones and checked me over to see that i was healing nicely. which i was . i then had a 6 week check up and again changed my dressings and i no longer needed to wear anything. it did the wounds good having them aired out and nothing on them. felt good. by this stage i was healing perfectly and there were no dramas. i was feeling good and back to normal energy levels again.
so after the 2 weeks recovering and starting to move around i quickly learnt that i could only do little at a time then i started to get tired again and feel a little stiffness in my breasts. which is normal. but i just took it slowly for another few weeks.
i took 5 weeks off work only because with my job i knew any earlier would be too early to go back. and i'm so glad i took it all off cos i needed to rest for that time and to recover the best i could.
Overall my experience and the operation itself was great and id do it all over again and worth every minute and would tell anyone who asks that its going to be the best thing youll ever do for yourself!!!!!!!!!! and now i am fitting into a size 16 C bra. 4 sizes smaller. never ever thought i would ever fit into a bra that size and be able to wear bras that are pretty and make u feel so good. best feeling ever!!!!!!!! 3 months post op my scars are a little red but hardly noticeable already. they are little and they dont worry me at all. they are better looking than i thought!!!!!! i feel like a new person and when i look at pics and compare more than half my chest is gone!!!! already feels like forever that ive had my smaller boobs and i forget what it was like to be so big.
good luck to any girl out there and i know you wont regret it. :)

Specialist Plastic Surgeon

Dr mark edinburg was wonderful!!!!! i could not have asked for a better doctor. and this is i believe why i have healed so well and have had no problems. from my first consultation i walked out feeling excited that i was getting the operation done. i didnt really have to ask any questions he answered them all for me. i was very informed of the procedure and was feeling confident after meeting mark. the day of the operation he assured me everything was ok and things will be fine. not that i was concerned because i knew i was in good hands. Dr mark edinburg makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and assures you that your ok. i was always relaxed and happy and never doubted anything about this procedure. every appt and check up was on a personal level and everything is about the patient basis and makes you feel looked after and cared for every step of the way. no words can explain how happy i was and how lucky i felt to have dr edinburg as my doctor to help me in this journey and give me a gift and improve my life so much. anyone who is wanting to a great doctor to not only look after you but perform great surgery to give you what u want hes the one. every step of the way was great and no words can express how satisfied i am with the whole experience. the most important thing is a great doctor i believe!!!!! and i def had that. which i am so grateful for and will be forever. thankyou mark!!!!!!!!!
