Can't Wait for Itty Bitties! - Atlanta, GA

Hello all! The past couple of months have been incredibly busy for me at work, making it hard to focus on the consultations; therefore, I decided to postpone the consultation. I rescheduled one with the doctor that takes my insurance. That appointment will be on March 6th.

I have been reading what you ladies have had to say over the past few months. I'm ecstatic for the women that have gone through with the procedure and have had the results they were looking for. It gives me hope during the times when I am second guessing my decision to have this done.

So, I'm still playing the waiting game, at least for another 3 weeks.

Will keep you ladies updated. I hope everyone (and their boobs!) have a great day!

Hi all! Finally had my consult for the breast reduction. The surgeon is looking to remove roughly 750 gm from the left breast, and about 500 gm from the right breast. He is recommending the Lejour method, where there is only the vertical scar and no horizontal scar in the crease. He estimated my bra size to be a G, and wants to take me down to a D in order to make my breasts fit with my body type. He recommends me not going to the Large B/small C cup I was requesting, saying it would be too small for me. After he left the room, his assistant also spoke with me, and recommended staying at a D.

He also said that the resulting shape is better with the Lejour method, saying that breasts are more likely to take on a "boxy" shape with the traditional Wise method. He says the shape that would look best on me is a full, round shape, with a sloping nipple. He says that I'm not at the size where I would require the Wise method and that I'm at a current size that would do well with the Lejour method.

He will be putting in my papers to get insurance approval, but I definitely get the feeling he didn't want me to rely on insurance to tell me what size to be. I do feel he wants the best looking result, whether insurance pays or not. And, to tell you the truth, I got a pretty decent quote for the breast reduction, as well as lipo to my axilla, back, flank, and hips. It will be very doable for me to get financing and make affordable monthly payments.

So, as of now, they are going to go ahead and submit the paperwork to insurance, while I decide how much say I want the insurance companies to have over my breasts.

Anybody here have experience with the Lejour incisions??? If so, I would love to hear about it, please message me or leave a post. I look forward to hearing from you!
