My insurance has approved my breast reduction, and after carrying these things for so long I'm ecstatic but I'm also so nervous. Dr. Linetskaya was kind and professional, she informed me that she would use the anchor method...and I'm ok with that. She asked what cup size would I be interested, in and I said a small C. I will post pics of my journey!

I'm actually excited about the pre-op as its one step closer!!! I'll get to have my testing and ask some more questions...it makes it that much more real.

I had my procedure yesterday...the ambulatory surgical center appeared well ran an organize. Once I'm inside I meet with Dr. Linetskaya who proceeds with her markings on my breast and I ask her about perkiness...she mentions that they will be perky in the beginning but they ultimate that comes down to my skin and my skin isn't the best in terms of elasticity. My procedure took about 3 hours but honestly couldnt keep my eyes open for more than 5 minutes for the best few hours...I also wa terribly sick from the anesthesia. I was finally discharged home at 10pm when I felt a smidge better. They educated me ok my drains a perscribed me Tylenol #3.

Even with all the swelling the difference is obvious...very happy with the size. I'm a little concern....with the difference between the way the right breast looks in comparison to the left there seems to be an indentation or a deeper stitch kind of pulling them hirisonal incision in. I don't want to freak out so I'm hoping once the swelling goes down that will correct itself. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I see progress in terms of shape and swelling .... Trying to stay positive and be patient. Top pic is 4 data post op when I was first allowed to shower. Bottom pic is of today 8 days post op.

I'm 20 days post op and I'm still off from work, I plan to go back in another week. I saw my PS this past Friday and are removed the tape from the incisions, that wasn't too bad.she told me my right breast will drop into place and that I should be too worried. I see her again in two weeks. I'm feeling pretty good, I feel my breast are looking better and better every week..so that's def turned any doubts I've had off.

So I tried on a bathing suit I wore last year... I was able to wear it strapless and it felt amazing not feeling weight down!!!

I like the way they look and feel, wish they were a tad bit perkier but that's just how my skin is..I can't help that. Overall I'm happy with them.

This is how they look now. I love that they don't hang, the way they sit in s bra and how they don't spill but I wish they were at least one cup smaller.
