I would NEVER choose him if I had to do it over again. Breast reduction surgery that 1-deformed both of my breasts, 2- areolas not placed where I asked him to place them- they are too low and 3-my breasts still have sag. Was told by another dr. technique should have been an anchor incision not lollipop as I was given. I no longer trust him to remendy what he couldn’t get right the first time on either breast, because in my opinion Dr. Culliford is disingenuous and was evasive in answering questions he didn’t want to answer and acknowledging things he didn’t want to acknowledge for my inadequate surgery, after the fact. The one thing I give him credit for is that the scars around my areolas are done really well and they are a good shape and size but what good is it when I can’t fix the rest of my issues without removing the areolas again and risk losing more feeling and possible necrosis. My one shot, ruined.
So ready for this procedure but extremely nervous ! .. im a 38 DDD and they sag so low [will upload pics soon] ,, these bags definitely dont make me feel sexy so i had them pierced 2 years ago to help me feel a little better about them. DIDNT WORK .. the back and neck problems are out of control and i am ready for November 9th ! Now i am just waiting for my insurance provider to approve my procedure in which my surgeon and I are almost positive they will .. im just hoping its sooner than later! Everyday im just wondering what life is going to be like to jump high without being smacked or sleep without almost smothering myself lol. I just wanna know what its like ... I cant wait !!! :) Decided to share my story with you guys after reading a few reviews i know we can all relate and If sharing this story can convince another young female, as myself, to make herself happy and take charge of her life then it is all worth it.

I think im like a 38D idk, once i go bra shopping i will find out. Also, today i had my one week pre op appt with my surgeon, he says everything is beautiful .... they took 650g out of my right breast and 437 out of my left so they are very even now sometimes i get sharp pains to my right nipple but im sure its normal so im not stressin it & I TOOK MY FIRST SHOWER TODAY !!! let me tell yalll!!!! if you havent gotten the surgery yet and will be going in soon, LOVEEEEEE YOUR FINAL SHOWERS! dont take them for granted lol bird baths kill me !! shave your vajayjay, armpits, legs or w.e you have to shave prior because you will not be able to for a little while after .. and again CHERISHHHH YOUR FINAL SHOWERSS ! lmaoo BTW WARNING! you will feel very sexyyyy in your first shower lol, felt like i was in a bay watch episode or something i definitely look forward to my next showers lol I will upload pics right after i post this so you guys can see Until next time LOVE YA!

I feel so much different, like sexier, lighter, cuter, energetic, happy... like i have a second chance ... I had NOO DRAINS , NOO Hermo(things) lol sorry dont remember the spelling, Minimal pain (only took meds for the 1st 5 days), i never stopped moving since surgery (everyone made it seem as if life stops that day, IT DOES NOT just be veryyyyyyyyyy careful) and [RS bleep] are still perky and pretty ! i rarely wear bra's .. but im trying to get back in the habit, not sure what size i am but i think im about a 36D ... far from 38DDD im extremely happy with that .. i did this for my back pain and its all gone, no shoulder pain, no heavy weight holding me down Lawddd .... it was worth it. so if your reading this while rubbing the pain out your shoulders ... maybe you should consider it .. using my surgeon lol (DR CULLIFORD) good luck my dollls Love ya ! will upload ASAP Updated on 15 Jan 2016: Long time guys !! Sorry I've been enjoying my new boobies lol ... Best decision I.have everrrrr made. Scarring is no big deal to me but it gets better and better every day ... I began smoking unfortunately so I believe it is slowing down the healing process but other than that I am soooooooooo happy with my results !!!
Hi everybody, I've been on this site reading a lot of post, they are very informative and encourging. I am 28 years old mother of a 4 years old and a 1 year old. I am 5'10'' 165lbs. I've been wanting a breast reduction since 18. I am a 34DDD. After reading post from this site I decided to get it done. I saw my PS june 21 2013 and it took 4 weeks for my insurance to approve my surgery. I am getting it done aug 19. I am excited but scare. Updated on 16 Aug 2013: Updated on 20 Aug 2013: I had my surgery yesterday, everything went well. I am just nauseas and my heels hurt. I have drains, my dr. Said I was bleeding a lot. I feel a whole lot better today Updated on 26 Aug 2013: The first post op weeks went very well. I had no pain and didn't have to take pain medication. I finally got my drains out today (a week later). The drains was left in for a week because I was bleeding a lot. I was able to take a nice shower and wash my hair today. So far I like my new boobs. I will post pics later. Updated on 26 Aug 2013:
