I had a breast reduction and loft preformed by Dr. Jon Bishop in Orem, UT. I went from a 36H to a 36C/D. I won't know the exact size until I have healed up some more. I have written in my blog all about my experience. BEST DECISION EVER! I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is considering it. It is absolutely life-changing. Updated on 26 May 2016: Today I am exactly 4 weeks post op. I'm feeling great. I can sleep on my sides again and even if I'm sore by the end of the

Like so many others, I developed very young and was teased horribly about my giant boobs. They were huge, and until college, I really wasn't overweight. Despite the physical and emotional discomfort, a reduction never crossed my mind until my PCP brought it up at an annual exam when I was 20. By that time, I wore a 36F. And because I have wimpy skin with lousy resiliency, they weren't sexy at all, since they sagged nearly to my belly button. So I met with a plastic surgeon and

I should have shopped around more. AFTER trusting my body to Dr Bishop with all his promises, I have met people who'd also gone to him, and they've had similar bad results, are not satisfied, not impressed, and there's nothing any of us can do about it. I now have lumps and bumps and areas on me with NEW issues I never considered. Yes, my appearance had improved, but when I went back to him to ask how to fix HIS work--which is total asymmetry, saggy skin (from his not removing

Ever since I had my second baby 8 months ago, I have been having some abdominal pain and I am unable to comfortably lay on my stomach. I have a large tummy apron due to gaining 75 lbs with my first pregnancy and delivering an 11 lb baby. I thought the discomfort was from the apron so I decided to go see plastic surgeon to consult about a possible panniculectomy. But after doing a physical examination he found an enormous umbilical hernia. He asked me if perhaps I had an outie

So I'm 29, mother to 3 kids and my surgery is on Friday! I'm SO nervous and scared! My mom doesn't know, cause she has always been SO disapproving....but I wish she was here to help out. My husband has Friday, Saturday and Sunday off.... hopefully that will help. Ugh.... I just really could use some emotional support! Updated on 28 Jun 2016: Hey my BA went pretty good, I was down and out Friday (the day of), Saturday was rough too. I started feeling a little better on sunday...

My breasts never stopped growing. Even after nursing four children, they just got larger and larger. The rest of me is about a size 6 but I always had to buy large shirts and live with the uni-boob look or looking like my whole upper body was big in the clothes that accommodated my chest. When I was diagnosed with stenosis in my neck caused by the weight of my breasts, my insurance agreed to a breast reduction. I am very happy I had it done. Very happy. My breasts are not particularly

I have always had such a big chest and 3 kids later they are a force to be reckoned with. My stomach didn't come through the pegnancies unmarred and I developed a hernia which has been painful for the past 10 months. I am looking forward to a more youthful body and much less discomforts. I am nervous my kids are so young and I am there full time caregiver ages 6, almost 4 and 6 month. They are everything to me and I am nervous because of the risks and knowing I will not be
