I've been lurking here and reading for awhile and finally decided to document my journey. I'm just going to start with the background and then catch up to the present over the next few days. I'm 44yrs old. I've wanted a breast reduction for years. In school I was a perky 38C. I seemed to gain a cup size with each pregnancy. 38D, 38DD, 38DDD. I had gained weight and didn't lose it also. I had my first consult with a ps in August 2014. I knew my insurance wouldn't cover any

Wow.. Where to start.. I have been wanting a breast reduction for about 38 years. I have always had large breast for as long as I can remember. Right now I am a 40DD and cannot wait for the BR date to be here. My dream size would be full B/ small C. My motivation for the procedure is to be able to wear tank tops and cute little tops without putting them back and saying "ohh... those aren't for my boobies." Some of the physical problems that I am so ready to be done

I have been wanting a BA for so long now. Mom of 2 pretty girls, both c section babies. Nursed my youngest for about 20 months so all volume is gone :-/. I dream about it and have read so many posts and looked over ever size and shape there is! I have my consultation set 2 weeks from today with Dr. Laura ohalloran, heard really great things about her and staff. As it gets closer I am getting super anxious but still excited and hoping for the best. I am one who likes to know

I can remember being very flat chested and wanting large breasts so bad and then BOOM...puberty hit and it was like I went from an A cup to a D cup overnight! I remember wanting a breast reduction as far back as high school because I just couldn't wear all the cute little tops that all the other girls could. I was 5'3" and 125 pounds with breasts way too big for my frame! As I entered my 20s and was planning my wedding I gained around 10 or so pounds and went to a DD. Of course

Well my surgery was yesterday.the worst part of the whole day was my migraine that I had before surgery. I was in such pain and kept getting sick! The even asked me if I wanted to note have surgery. Oh heck no! I'm having it today. Once I was under of course I didn't feel a thing lol. Wasn't in horrible pain after and migraine was gone too!thank God! Post op day 1 little bit more pain then day of. Looking very square but that will go. Away in time. But I'm very happy with the

Had mine on March 28. Took two weeks off of work. Had my drains for 3 days. No pain getting the drains out at all. Days 3 and 4 were my hardest days. I was very sore but not really in pain. Took pain meds for about five days. I was a 38 DDD and look to be about a 38 C or D right now. Still have a little swelling but my scars are healing great. I have been wearing silicone sheeting during the day and Palmer's vitamin E lotion at night. I am very pleased with the scars so

Divorced after 24 years, mom who always puts everyone else 1st... you get it right? I've wanted a tummy tuck and boobs that are in the right place for years. I want to wear the cute shirts without the strapless bra falling down. Finally going to do it! Consultation done with Dr. Laura O'Halloran , (she is awesome!) surgery scheduled . I'm on my way to tucking my shirts in without be self conscious for the first time in my life. Updated on 29 Apr 2017: Surgery is 22 days away.

I will turn 55 and then a few days later go to the flat side. I'm super excited. Today is my Pre-op appointment. I pre-ordered a hospital bed to be delivered next week to make the recovery a bit easier. My husband is taking several days off work and my college aged daughter will be here helping as well. I have been working out at the gym since last spring and had never even considered a tummy tuck or any other PS but when you start seeing your body tone up and your tummy

I've have wanted to get rid of my fat belly for years. i tried cutting back on sweets (I am a sweet-a-holic) and going to the gym but neither ever last long. even when I lose weight the belly stays. The thought of a tummy tuck was scary and seemed unrealistic to me, until I started reading all the posts on this site of you all who have had the procedure or waiting to have it. A lot of the women were scared too, so that helped me to know its prob normal to feel that way, and the
