I am 24, 5' 7'' and weigh 220 lbs. I started as a 40DD. I am now three weeks post opp and feel wonderful! I still have a little bit of pain and some bleeding. I lost 40lbs to have the surgery and scheduled it for 1.10.2013. My breasts began to hurt my back more as I lost more weight, and I am excited to continue my weight loss after I am approved to go back to exercising. Does anyone else have bleeding under the nipple? I have a "T" incision. I wish I know how potent the pain medication would be, I slept for about 5 days straight! I wish I went back to work later, it is still hard to do some things and difficult that I cannot lift things. I cannot wait to see the full results!

I am at 25 days post opp and feeling better. I can finally see the new shape of my breasts coming through. Initially, I thought they seemed very small, but I realized that had alot to do with my compression surgical bra. I bought my first size "C" bra in over 10 years! I am so happy that I did this surgery. My back pain is gone and soon I will be able to exercise again, with approval from my PS. I still have the open sore under my nipple area, but have been using Neosporin and it is looking considerably better than last week.

Great review?
