Dr. Howrigan did my Breast Reduction in 1990. I am still very happy with the results. I always said it was the best decision I made. I was 17 a few weeks from turning 18 years old. My teen years were tough for me physically but because of this surgery I was no longer physically limited. I wasn't able to nurse effectively or as much as I would have liked to. That's my only regret. But it was a personal decision and I was told I probably would not be able to. My children are very

I've had large breasts since middle school. I went from a C cup to an E cup almost overnight. I started trying to get a reduction when I was 15 but after frustrating doctors, difficulty matching schedules, and multiple changed in insurance, I was finally able to get the reduction at age 21. My surgery was scheduled for May 20th and it's been three days since. I absolutely love my results and I am so grateful to Dr.Howrigan for changing my life! Updated on 24 May 2016: Like I

I lost significant breast volume after my third child. Pre babies I was a small D, at 5'3" 123 lbs, with a fit hourglass physique. I was looking to fill a C cup, gaining back the upper pole volume I lost. I was very concerned about needing a lift, but if needed would have gone through with it. I felt very unsexy and less of a woman the way my breasts looked post pregnancies. Updated on 2 Dec 2014: I am loving how they are looking at this stage. I should have posted pictures

I have struggled with my weight pretty much my entire life. Diets, exercise, and the all too familiar, yo-yo loss & gain. At 5'4", I was precariously close to 190 lbs and knew, if I did not get some kind of handle on my weight, I would tip the 200 lb mark. I managed to lose 30 lbs on my own, but it was a terrible struggle. It was all "white knuckle" and restrictive and it made me plain old MEAN. Just the same, I managed to do it. I maintained this weight loss for about four

After asking many questions through this forum, and consulting with 3 plastic surgeons in Massachusetts, my surgery has been approved by my insurance company and is scheduled for May 15. I will not miss my 34FF breast size, and I will not miss the gigantic indentations in my shoulders from my bra straps. I am not nervous. I contemplated this surgery 20 years ago and chickened out. Boy, I wish I had done it back then. I weigh 135 pounds and can't wait for my breast size to

I am a mother of 2 children and ever since the birth of my daughter (now 6) I have been longing to have this extra skin REMOVED! I have been on this website so many times but never got the courage to move forward. One question I have that I can't seem to find the answer to, is how important is it or is it worth it to have an overnight hospital stay following your tummy tuck? I really feel like this time I am going to do it. I work hard, eat right and it is just not paying off! Updated

I am a mother of 3 and after the birth of my first child I was left with a sagging stomach full of stretch marks. I had my daughter 11 years ago and now at the age of 33 I am divorced and the thought of another man seeing my body creeps me out. So... I am regaining my self confidence and my body and I couldn't be more excited about it. In one week from today I will be having a full tummy tuck, but no muscle repair, and a breast lift with the insertion of 300 cc silicone

I needed an umbilical hernia repair and have always hated my large abdomen, especially after 3 c-sections, so decided to have a TT with hernia repair. The cost would have been $10,700, but insurance covered fees related to hernia, including one overnight in the hospital. Thank goodness for that! I never would have been able to make it home. If staying over is an option for you, I highly recommend it!! Although my sx was compounded with hernia, and I received narcotics for
