I had a terrible experience with lower blepharoplasty, two operations, severe scarring, excessive muscle removal, asymmetry, ectropion and eyebags still present, ruined my life, need another operation.

Ok, so, I have been reading breast reduction and lift stories from others on this forum for ages and have finally plucked up the courage to add my own.
I have always had a large bust and developed at a young age. This coupled with being very sporty and not been talked to about what was happening during puberty (mother very prudish) left me scared and hating how my chest was growing and not stopping! After getting married and having two children and breast feeding them, I like my bust even less as they have stayed large with saggyness as well. My children are now 10 and 5 or I feel that this is the soonest I can get this done, for me. I'm only 5ft 4 tall so the extra saggyness of my breasts makes my torso look really short. I'm a size 6 waist down so a 32g bust looks comical in most clothes. I'm hoping to go down to a compact B-cup but want more to look in proportion to the rest of me. Excited and apprehensive all at once. This forum has been really helpful in helping me reach my decision to finally consider getting this done. Am booked to meet and see the consultant on the 14th of May - can't believe I've actually finally got the chance to do something about by boobs!

Arrived at midday operation is at around 6pm. Surgeon has drawn in me. Anaesthetist has see me. Nurses have spoken to me. Should have packed cotton pants in my hospital bag have to wear the hospital ones actually very comfortable! Not nervous but proud of myself for doing this for me despite busy life etc. Have ordered post op. meal for whatever I can eat. Dressings off on sat, tapes for 2 weeks, come back for 2 week check with surgeon and nurse. Surgical bra day and night for 3 weeks. Best advise has been listen to your body post op. Don't do too much but don't be idle to reduce risk of dvt. Reminded surgeon that are doing lipo on sides and to go as small as possible
