Mr fahmy put me at ease from day 1 and I'm so happy with the result! I'm quite a hard person to please but couldn't be happier it has been over a year now since my operation and still very grateful! I'm even considering another soon and wouldn't choose anyone else to do the operation I have 100% faith and trust in mr Fahmy to do the operation couldn't have gone any better thanks again

So, a breast reduction was always something I wanted, the unwanted attention from such a young age made me very self conscious. At 16 I remember telling my mum how I wanted one and got a good telling off. She told me "they're what nature has given you so leave alone" my mum is a lovely size B by the way, I was a C At the age of 11. By 16 I wore a G cup bra and was a 32jj until last week :) The final decision was made after my neck, shoulder and back pain was getting worse. Meaning frequent visits to an osteopath which doesn't come cheap!! I'm nearly one week down the line, swelling and some pain to be honest, the worst thing for me is having to sleep on my back as I'm a side sleeper oh and the no shower rule stinks too ( literally). I'm not sure what size I will finally be once everything settles, my surgeon and I discussed a D but time will tell :) My surgeon has been fantastic and I would highly recommend him. I did MASSES of research prior to booking mine so I knew I was in safe hands with him and the anaesthetist, these get looked over a lot but at the end of the day these are the people that keep us alive throughout the surgery!! Drain removal was not an issue at all, didn't hurt. Just can't wait for the swelling to go and the pain to ease so I can get about and sleep better. If any of you ladies are suffering but are indecisive about the surgery - go for it, you won't look back!! My neck felt different IMMEDIATELY, my back is still aches but again I believe that to be due to the sleeping position. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I have found this site so invaluable in my months leading up to surgery. Updated on 4 Jun 2014: Follow up appt went well although I have a wound infection so commenced antibiotics. Consultant said it will set me back a bit :( still sore, tight and throbbing but I guess this is due to infection. Really hope it heals without any further issues. Still not sleeping and the no showering is awful. Ad couple of days really. Updated on 5 Jun 2014: Feels less tight today and hubby thinks the infected booby looks less red. Took bra off for a couple of minutes to wash and boy I couldn't wait to get it back on - throbbing!!! Yesterday did motive some spots of blood coming through new tape in exactly same place on both boobs, has any one else had this? Wondering if I've damaged it by pulling or lifting. I'm feeling brighter though so today gets a thumbs up. Updated on 7 Jun 2014: So haven't had any pain relief for two days, still sore but I really don't want to keep taking them.still very swollen and painful. Have seen a comment on here about bromelain, do any of you recommend it?
