I’ve always wanted my breast size reduced. In some people’s eyes their like “why” “I’d love to have your breast”. I have small hips, small butt, 36D boobs. Only we know how we each feel and what we need. I needed and wanted balanced proportions. The thought of traditional breast reduction was too much for me, so I bought minimizer bras and went about my life. Around a year and a half ago or so, I come across an article about breast liposuction. I started my search and found Kleinlipo. A few more months went by and finally thought “what do I have to lose”. My consultation was with Dr. Norma and Nurse Michele. THEY WERE BOTH FANTASTIC. All my questions were answered, I was clear about my expectations and knew this was for me. I scheduled a pre op, received all my instructions and scheduled surgery. Surgery day. I’m not a nervous nelly, I have a high pain tolerance and consider myself a great patient because I follow pre- and post-surgery instructions to the letter. So, mentally I was ready. I had a play by play about what to expect and what was next. I was made very, very comfortable and had complete confidence in Dr. Norma and Nurse Robin. The only thing that I felt at the end of surgery was a little loopy because you are given meds in prepping you for surgery to relax and stay relaxed, so that’s to be expected. When I got home, I was fatigued so I just relaxed and allowed myself to be catered too. The following day I took a shower, did all the dressings changes (I did the recommended two showers/dressing changes), I felt fatigued, so I relaxed the whole day (followed all the post op instructions). The second day after surgery I took a shower and realized I didn’t need to pad up like previously. I had purchased a loose-fitting sports bra w/front closure and inserted pads around incisions that were still draining (tiny little specs of draining), worked perfect. I put on my leotard, mesh, strapped on the Velcro belt, and went to work (I work from home). I still felt fatigued but ok. The third day after surgery, felt great, showered, little to almost NO drainage, put-on loose-fitting sports bra, inserted pads here and there, leotard on, mesh on, Velcro belt in place, no fatigue but I’m still going to take it easy for the next few days. The Velcro was eliminated the morning of the 7th day following surgery. I wore the leotard for exactly two weeks after surgery. It provided me great support as I am not ready to invest in new bras yet. For now, I’m wearing sports bra. A lot of time and investment went into my decision, and I want the best outcome. If I had to give a level of pain and discomfort, I’d say a VERY VERY VERY low “1” for like the first two days. Pre- and post op instructions are your best friends. I just had by 10 weeks postop....I told Dr. Norma "I'm so happy". Blouses, t-shirts, jackets, etc......I sound "vain" but I'm sooooooo happy, they all look beautiful, normal.
