John Valiulis, M.D.

I've always had big boobs since 8 grade. Just imagine being heavy chested during an already awkward time in life. I loved basketball but running down the court holding my chest caused my love for playing to be a distant memory. I consulted w/surgeon when I was 17(34DDD), my mom consented but fear of surgery I didn't follow through. 19 yrs old I got pregnant had my son, I was terrified that milk production would make them bigger. Working out was so uncomfortable bc of my boobs. I had my 2nd child, I gained weight my boobs were literally on my stomach. I would talk about a reduction but never acted on it. I would shop and feel out of portion bc my top size was larger than bottom. 01/10/2018 I turned 33 and I decided it was bye boobies, I called my insurance company and began my research. 1st consultation was a disaster 02/06/18. So, I scheduled another one with a new doctor Dr.Valiulis :) he was amazing 35 yrs experience. Great bedside manner, he was amazing! Insurance approved-surgery date 04/10/18. :) I was so excited. My dad accompanied me to the hospital at 5am. I was the 1st surgery. All my prayers were sent up and I was ready. I was rolled back for prep. 9am surgery time, all I remember was the surgery lights and breathing into the mask, woke up at 12:15 wrapped up so tight no more 44N...LOL! Everything went great! I had no idea what my boobs looked like and I wouldn't see them for another week. Surgery was 15 yrs 3 months from my 18th birthday. Currently 1 month 1 week post op, it was definitely worth it!

I've had big breast since I can remember I've never had the pleasure of being in small cup sizes I was in a D and final size 32E. Now at the age of 24 and a two year old I final decided enough is enough! No more back pain! Shoulder pain! Ugly bras! To small bikini! 100 bras! No insurance coverage so I was self pay. Because of that reason I call around and did my research for about five months found patients of certain doctors talked to them ask for pics etc finally found my dream maker! I was be driving three hours away but was only paying 4616! Pre op was scheduled 3/17/2016! We talked and everything he said was perfect! He told me I'd never have to wear a bra again and that was music to my ears lol! Well surgery date was 3/22/2016 and the ride there was nerve racking. Stomach was hurting so bad lol had to be there at 6:30 so I left home at 3a.m didn't go into surgery until like 9 woke up in a tad bit of pain drive home was okay nothing bad but I slept the whole day. Was given antibiotics pain and nausea meds totaled 147! Lord lol I don't have much pain right now I went to the nail salon the day after surgery now I'm try to get up and go talk to someone about a home! I'm trying to move as well lol nooo I'm not going to try to do much but I do have to get all the paper work and stuff out the way! I'll post some pics.

So I had surgery Tuesday and it's not Friday I still feel okay! I've cooked cleaned, not to much moving but I'm taking it easy for the most part. Doctor said that wrapping off and no bras but it felt so weird trying to move and when I walk or bend over it feels funny! Went to Walmart got a lil sports bra so shocked a MED and I'm still swollen I'm so ready to know what my actually size will be we talked about a small C. If I'm a b I'd still be happy.

I haven't had any reall pain only pain I can say is sleeping on my back lol. I actually tried sleeping on my side and could without touching the breast because they aren't in the way anymore but the incisions was uncomfortable! I can say I'm very very happy with my choice to have it! My post op went well he even told me I didn't have to travel that road again to come and I could email if I had any issues and we'd make sure I needed to travel before getting on the road. I was happy about that. Unlike most I was never put in a surgical bra. He was very anti bra. I didn't have tape like most I've seen. I have stitches and glue on my incisions. I wasn't given any after care instructions. So I'm really in the blind. As to how long will this glue stay on when can I start putting stuff on my scars I'm so lost. He did say don't pull the glue off. Idk really but I'll figure it out! I'm posting a pic of me in the same shirt no bra in both

Dr. V and his PA Tommie made me feel comfortable with being open about large breast and preparing for surgery. They was very honest about the post complications and what to expect during surgery along with the incision type. I would recommend Dr. V and his staff.
