My nurse practitioner recommended me to Dr. Quigley. I love referrals especially from doctors. I had my consultations with very few questions because I didn't know what to ask.
So I'm Here on this forum now that I've received approval from
Insurance with no hesitation.
I started gaining weight in late 2015 that seemed to have landed in my arms and breast. With numbness, headaches and back pain. I'm so excited to have the same size breasts, normal aerole

I'm going to use this forum to track my thoughts and progress since reading so many other comments. I'm hoping to help someone just as I've been helped. I can't wait to get these babes reduced. Does anyone have any tried products that help with scarring?

I'm very nervous. I went into the office to my deductible and see before and after pictures that I didn't ask for on consultation. I guess what has me so nervous is the doctor doesn't show any emotions. It's like this what it is and that is it with her. I keep hearing she is the best and will be praying to his trust the process. I just don't want to look bad with my clothes off. I mean my boobs are big but I'm comfortable with the skin I'm in now and want to keep it that way. In deep prayer the next few days.

I'm so happy and feel great. 3 pounds were taking off each side. I look to be smaller than a C, seems like a b cup to me. Because so much was taking out she had me stay overnight in the hospital which I was happy about. I haven't had a chance to see my nipples yet. My doctor just changed my pads, and I was so happy I could FEEL the sensation on my nipples. I'm rambling a bit but I'm in little to no pain at the moment. I've had morphine all night every 10 minutes and it's been great.

..discharged today and feeling great. I went to target for a sports bra and tried on a dress! To my surprise, I was able to get a size smaller because of my boobs! God is so good. A couple of things I've noticed: 1- my skin is soooo oily 2- my stomach has swollen up on me since I had breakfast and lunch and 3- my throat is super sore and has been since I got out of surgery. Outside of the minor, I'm super happy and ready for the swelling to decrease. #happyme

I had a little leakage today but very minor. I'm super excited and can't wait for my checkup.

I'm feeling great, no pain but minor sharp pains here and there. I have a high level of sensation when I get cold or my clothes brush near my sports bra. I do have discomfort with the rubbing of my bra but I've put a pad under to help. My question today is has anyone put the steri strips on after the stitches were removed?

My stitches were removed today and things got a little emotional for me. There were a few areas still open a little. Dr mentioned I didn't need steri strips but I'm thinking otherwise. I'm not so happy about my scar/incision under my breasts!

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this but my lefty has some challenges. A spot that won't seem to start healing. Prior to removing the stitches there was a dark bloody patch and now this. Dr. Said it was common and to just put Vaseline on it. Has this happened to you?

Hey there. I'm just posting and journaling my progress and hoping along
The way it will help someone. I'm still having challenges with my left wound closing.
Has this happened to any of you before? I find it very unusual considering my right is completely closed with very minimum scars!
I'm still happy with the reduction and with the size. I'm still swollen and tender in certain places, the left side being the most complicated.
Very little itching but the end of the scar under my arms I've been using strips to help flatten them out a little more.

My healing has slowed down a bit. I still have a small spot that hasn't completely healed on my left side and my lefty is still a bit swollen.
I'm still happy just worried about my left side. I started sleeping on my sides last week with minor discomfort.
