I Dont Regret Anything... Except Waiting!

I’ve spent most of my life hiding my breasts. About 20 years ago, in my late 30s I interviewed 2 plastic surgeons and made the wrong choice, for a number of reasons. I had breast reduction but the (male) doctor said “you don’t want to be that small after all these years, you don’t want to be smaller than a D. He also never mentioned that with weight gains (swings of 10lbs, not huge amounts) menopause and gravity you can end up as big or bigger than you were before.

That being said, I spent the last 5-7 years wishing I’d waited. I felt guilty like it was all because I’d “let myself go” and didn’t want to spend more money on myself. Several times in the last 4 years I spoke to a number of doctors and had pretty much given up the idea, because I was told more than once “you won’t look that different because you have wide, wrap around type breasts”. One doctor said “they aren’t out of proportion “. After being introduced to Realself.com by a friend (that had implants removed) in another state, I had consultations with 3 more doctors. I honestly thought it was another exercise in futility.

When I met Elizabeth Lee she explained a newer procedure that enabled her to remove a lot of the tissue from the ‘sides’. Just before surgery she said “just to clarify, you want me to make y as small as I can”, to which I replied “absolutely”.

I am not fully healed, but I am so happy to say that I have gone from a G+ to about what will be a C cup. Which for a 5’4” size 8 looks to be in perfect proportion, for the first time in my life.

My rehab was easier than anticipated and my outcome is beyond expectation. Many thanks to Dr Lee. I’m not one to go back and do ‘something else’, this is my one dream, so all I can do it hopefully send more frustrated women in her direction.
