My breasts have been a D cup from age 13 through a G cup most recently at age 47. Had a lift 9 years ago after nursing 2 kids, and ended up a decent 32D. But in the past year, I’ve gained 15 pounds, all in stomach, back and boobs. I couldn’t find a bra that gave me a decent shape, had major indentations in my shoulders, beck & back pain every evening, especially if I’d had a somewhat active day. Well, with 2 kids, 3 if you include my hubby, and 2 dogs, most days are somewhat active. Went to a surgeon on my insurance plan who requested coverage. Got a copy of letter back to him asking for documentation of treatments I’d been doing. So I replied directly to Blue Shield telling them that no, I hadn’t gone for
P/T, but had self treated with weekly massages, over counter pain pills, hot baths, and ice. Most importantly I think was the statement that I wanted to take care of this while I was young (I feel young even at 47) healthy and before it got worse. That I wanted to be able to jog, and couldn’t. Well, it got approved. ????????
Dr. Christie Prendagast at Finesse Plastic Surgery is so unbelievably talented and nice.
I had 30 second moments of unbearable pain when getting out of bed every time, but other than that, the pain was manageable on days 1,2,3, and 4 providing you take your meds on schedule. Today is day 5, I’ve been up for 2 hours, made my kids breakfast and lunch, haven’t had to take anything for pain.
Anyone out there wondering if it’s worth it, the answer is YES, YES, YES. The pain will go away. But to have smaller, perky boobs, and to be able to wear things you couldn’t wear before, to be able to jump, jog, run if you want, you’ll forget all about the pain.
