WORTH IT
It has been a while since I posted so I decided to update everyone on how I am doing! I have had minimal pain from the beginning and have healed so quickly! I am big on homeopathic and natural medication and have been eating a very healthy diet and it has definitely helped me heal.

I am currently a medium to small sized c cup. I have not had any complications so far other than a bit more swelling on the right side compared to the left.

I have just started using silicone strips to help with scars which hopefully will reduce the appearance.

I will post new pictures soon!

wow, those look spectacular!!!! Are you happy with the results? I love the shape; I'm going in in 19 days and wondering how you are doing post op? Anything of concern. I haven't read this entire thread I just found you so I apologize if I'm being redundant in my questions. Will you be posting any new pics soon? What size do you think you are now? Is it too soon to tell? Hugs from Long Beach

Hi MissA..............I'm assuming your asking about moi?? All is pretty good. Gonna post some new pics today. I'm 9 days post op and no pain meds for a week and almost all bruising is gone.They are not exactly what I had hoped in shape; the righty is giving me trouble with some skin flattening and deflating which looks bad cuz it's right in the cleavage line and the nip on righty is going in a different direction (you can read updates) however I'm pleased with the recovery. Just irritating, itchy and dying for those stitches to close up so I can start massaging and using creams every day. I wish I could air out the girls for just a day with no bra on but doc sais NO for one month so I'm feeling 'bound' and uncomfortable but overall pretty good. I guess my age might have had something to do with the sagging although my skin and dense breasts before hand were always quite firm. And..........since the left one looks good I think he just might have overshot that area. It's not 100% and I know much healing left to go, but I don't regret it one tiny second!! Thanks and hope your great as well! Jo (TooBigNoLonger)

I had Health Net HMO believe it or not. Here in California. Doctors note did the trick. I only paid a $250 hospital fee.

I've been pretty sore and bruised today and yesterday but it is so manageable. It's probably just because I've been a bit more active compared to the first few days.

For those of you who asked who my doctor is-- his name is Dr. Cross and he works at Deme plastic surgery. He is amazing and I am so happy with my results. The pictures don't do it justice because they were taken from a low angle looking up on my computer so they are even better in person. I highly, highly recommend him!

I am glad your surgery went so well. I had mine done on July 9th and it was pretty painful to me, well the first couple of days were. I went from a 40f to a c cup.The first weekk felt as if a truck was on my chest. I will not sugarcoat anything here. I had the lift as well. My left breast is starting to get much softer now. Never really had too much pain with it. My right one is the bad one...intense pressure and then finally today it started to bleed. I freaked out. Went to my doc and he assured me that it was old blood that found its way out. He said it will bleed for about three days, I am nervous because my husband went on a business trip and I am home alone. Thank god for my friend next door. Also my right nipple is extremely sore to the touch, hopefully this will go away soon.
I am not trying to scare anybody. I just like to keep it real
