ORIGINAL POST
Right now I am 6 days post from my breast...
WORTH IT$13,000
Right now I am 6 days post from my breast reduction surgery. I'm sure I will come back to this review and add more at a later date.
Right now I still have a lot of numbness in my breast. I also still have my drains in, which I know is fairly common.
The biggest cons right now would be:
-Drains - they are driving me up a wall! They dig into my sides and are causing me a great deal of pain
- Pain medication- makes me very moody and I hate being on it in general although it surely gets the job done
-Pros
I can already tell a difference in the way my clothes fit and how well my back feels I already know this surgery was worth it. The healing and down time are imperative I'm still learning to deal with these things. They can be so frustrating.

Drains Removed
So today I am updating you guys fresh out of the doctors office! I had both of my drains removed today! I am so very excited this feels like a first step in many to full recovery. My appointment was scheduled for 11:45 am and I was alittle late.
First the sutures that held my drains in places were cut and removed and then the fun part, the actual removal of each drain. It was definitely a very sharp pain. My right side was worse than the left, which is ironic because in general the left breast has given me the most trouble.

Nice job who did your surgery?

I wish I had read this before my surgery... Those drains do really hurt. My right side was also worse than the left. I think it's because I'm right handed and I was definitely using my right side a lot more.

Pre Op
Working backwards here alittle but I just wanted to take the time to show pictures of myself before the surgery. I was wearing a 38 DDD/ 36F
My breast were asymmetrical and I think there was at least a cup size difference between my breast. Hope this helps!

This helps a lot! I am 43 and have a reduction scheduled October 29th. I currently wear a 34G and my left breast is a little larger than my right. What did you go down to? My doctor said he's taking about 1lb out of my right and 1.25-1.5 lbs out of my left.

Glad it helps! Im not sure what I'm down to just yet. Sorta hesitant about putting on actual bras with wire, so far I'm just wearing sports bras only. I do plan on getting measured soon and I'll make sure to write an update.
September 24, 2015
Thanks! Yes, please let me know. I'm excited for my surgery, but apprehensive too. It will be nice not to have to go to specialty shops, just to buy a bra and/or sports bra! :)
September 24, 2015
I promise I will. But honestly I can go ahead and tell you it's worth it! My back feels better, those digs in my shoulders from heavy breasts are already starting to lighten, and I can see my toes! lol. Every time I try on an outfit Im amazed.
September 24, 2015
That's awesome! So excited for you and soon for me too. My cousin says the same thing. She had hers done a couple of years ago. Said she'd do it again in a heartbeat! Said her only regret, was not doing it sooner. It will be nice to not have back, neck and shoulder pain. Well, you look amazing!

Did you say you had liposuction too?
September 25, 2015
Yes he did lipo on my sides..well I'm not sure what to call that area. Basically where my arms lay he said that was also breast fat technically I guess. But I'm still too swollen to see any results from that. Most doctors do it from what I've read from other reviews
September 25, 2015
Oh ok. Just wondering because I meet with my surgeon, one last time on 10/26, prior to surgery on the 29th... so I wanted to ask him about it. Makes sense that they would do that. Thank you.
September 25, 2015
Yes do ask, or maybe even call and ask. Some don't and actually require you to pay for it out of pocket as an addition procedure.
September 26, 2015
Thanks I'll do that! And thanks for the words of encouragement that you posted today and your pictures really do look amazing. And to hear you say you got into a large shirt... and it wasn't tight... very encouraging! !! Congratulations!! That's another thing that I am looking forward to, is being able to wear smaller tops or even dresses. I got to were it was difficult to wear one piece dresses b/c I'd have to buy one so big to fit my chest, then it didn't look good and just hung on me everywhere else. Anyway, so excited for you and all of the progress you are making! I truly appreciate you taking time to post and answer my questions.
