Hi! My name is amari. Im 18 and a 44H (which you knew already!) I know I'm posting a little late into my procedure, but I guess It hasn't really hit me yet that it's happening. I’ve had bigger boobs since before I can remember. I never really thought they were as big as everyone told me until I looked in the mirror one day and say two watermelons hanging from my chest! I realized I need to have this surgery done, not for anyone else, but for my health and wellness. I had a consultation in early January, and they said it could take until the end of February to get approved. Luckily for me, they called back in about a week with the date of my surgery! I’m not at all nervous, which is weird because the only other surgery ive ever had is my wisdom teeth, which I was terrified for! I think I’m calmer than anything, and ready to see what I’ll look like with smaller boobs! I told my surgeon (Michael Yoo) that I wanted to go down to a C or D (no doubles!) but we haven’t really discussed the size I will be. Hopefully something not too eye catching and comfortable. Since my surgery is the day after tomorrow, I won’t be posting much pre op things, but I’ll be sure to post at least once or twice a day from hear on out!

Good luck girlie...I wish I would made this awesome decision when I was your age. My surgery is 2/24 so we can heal together. Good luck again and keep us posted!

Hi guys! I’m really sorry I haven't posted I’ve been having trouble finding my review since I’m new to the site :( but I’ll tell you, it has not been an easy ride since the surgery. first, when I woke up, I found that I had to use the restroom BAD but couldn't no matter how hard I tried (weird right?) and when I managed to go a little, I had the worst pain you could imagine...which led me to believe that I was put on a catheter. When I asked my nurse and she confirmed I won't lie I was definitely upset because I was completely unaware that they were going to be doing this. I would've liked to know...oh well. The surgery was about 6 hours long, and that Wednesday night I had to stay overnight. The first night I was given morphine through an IV and had a lot of nausea and vomited once…… I also didn’t eat anything until Thursday morning. Thursday was tough. One I came home, I tried laying down in my bed but found it was getting harder and harder to get out of bed so I’ve moved to the couch and it’s much better. Since my reduction was so large, my doctor has had me keep my drain tubes in until Monday. The medicine I was given (Percocet) has helped a lot with pain, but it is making me very dizzy and tired ? I’ll have to change to something a little less strong soon. I’ll keep you all updated and if you have any questions please leave a comment and I’ll answer them all. Thanks for supporting me so far I really appreciate it!!!

so i woke up today with no pain, surprisingly! But that's probably because i took a percocet at about 3 this morning so i wouldn't have to much when i woke up. I’m down to taking one Percocet because while they were helping immensely with pain, I was really out when I would take two of them and I had trouble remembering and staying awake. I think I’m healing pretty well; I just can’t wait to get these darn drains out! They’re so annoying lol. I haven’t really posted pictures because I haven’t gotten a good look at my breasts yet. I don’t want to look at them and be terrified lol! but I’ll try and get you guys a few pictures pre op and post op today :) but quick question for anyone that would know, I haven’t had a BM sine Tuesday before my surgery and it is now Saturday, should I be worried? I’m starting to get a little nervous but I’m chalking it up to the anesthesia. Well since I just woke up I guess I’ll go relax for a little bit, talk to you guys later today!

Great news...I know from having surgery before the pain meds can cause constipation. Drink a lot of fluids and try some over the counter meds . Colace really helps!!! Here's to happy healing... you look great!
