After years of indescribable back pain and self consciousness I finally getting what I've always wanted, a breast reduction! :) I went to my consultation today, which went great. I feel so taken care of by Dr. Robert Clement and his team and they've made this whole process so easy. It's great to feel in good hands and I can't wait for my surgery in two weeks. I'm going to be posting my experience every step of the way.

That is great to hear...I am waiting to get approval from insurance..it has been 8 wks. and still they haven't approved..keep saying just because My breast are very large doesn't mean I need a medical reduction...I am glad to know some women out there dreams are coming true. I wish you the best ! wishing it was me though.

My doctor told me to just keep calling and bugging them. Also it'd be good to show them a note of approval from your doctor saying you need the procedure done, and chiropractor appointments scheduled for your back pain.

Your results are incredible. I live in Dallas area, but think (b/c of your great results) that I might travel down to Austin for Dr. Clement. He was your doctor, correct? Did you end up using the silicone sheets or did something else work better? I'm curious because I can't even see your scars. Amazing!!

Wow, it's exactly one week until my surgery date. Everyone asks me if I'm scared. Not at all! I'm extatic and happy! Everything is going to go to smoothly, I can't wait to wake up and finally be the way I've always wanted. Sometimes I wonder when my nerves will finally kick in. Am I really going to feel this breezy easy all the way up until my surgery? Everything is so surreal.

Totally wondering when the real nerves will kick in, lol! I thought I was scared, but really I am more excited! Lets do this girlfriend ;) we got it!!

My nerves never kicked in. Just went to sleep and woke up after a short nap and woke up to meet my dream girls. I was no more nervous than I would be getting my hair done. Now I'm one week pst-op and I can't stop admiring my perfect itty bitty [RS bleep]. My surgeon is a freakin genius. He's Michaelangelo with a scalpel.

Tomorrow is the day! Finally my surgery date is here :) by this time tomorrow ill be on my way to the hospital. I'm so excited! I have one question for y'all ladies...how are everyone's scars healing up? I'm really curious as to what y'all's scars look like around 6 months or a year. I'd like to know that for the most part they're hardly noticeable with the right care? Any tips before my surgery tomorrow? :) wish me luck! The nerves still haven't kicked in :)

Good Luck tomorrow...I know your excited! I would be too! Can't wait to hear all about your recovery.
March 10, 2013
Good luck tomorrow, your gonna do great. I really wasnt' that nervous either, it was more about the unknown. I was pretty calm on the actual day, plus they are gonna put you under and you'll wake up and it will all be done. Recovery isnt too bad at all, its very manageable. Im 4 weeks post-op and feel great, each day gets better and better ; )

Can anyone tell me the difference between a full C and a small D? I asked for a full C and am hoping it's not going to be too small.
