Thanks to all who are on this journey with me. Your posts have inspired me to blog my experience. I too developed early and continued well into adulthood. After years of wanting to be free of the pain and discomfort, I was finally approved for BR. Surgery scheduled for 10/14.
My PS and staff have been great. Pre-op tomorrow. Full of questions of course. I'll get a packet of information along with a prescription for pain meds to be filled prior to surgery (very important!).
Expecting great results. I have a lot of breast tissue so the smallest he can try to get is a D cup. I'm thinking I'll be a large D or DD when its all done. So looking forward to not spending a fortune for one bra.
I do plan to get my body ready beginning Oct 1. I'll do a cleanse since it sounds like constipation is par for the course. Avoid a lot of heavy foods opting for soups.

Wonderful! I'll do my best to keep accurate details. I am so blessed to have other trail blazers out there I can draw strength and encouragement from. As with many others this has been a very long time coming.

Hi there! No lift just a huge reduction. Seriously my PS did a fantastic job. Can't wait until it's all healed.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm 4 days post op but haven't had the courage to look & take pics of my scared/stitched breast. I'm sure I will soon, best of luck with your recovery. Your PS did a very nice job.

Thanks! Hope you're healing well. I was scared to look too. The first time I thought I was going to pass out but it got easier each time. Once I saw how pretty they were I was soooo happy!!
My whole reasoning for taking pics and blogging my experience is for anyone considering BR. This site has been a blessing.

You look amazing! You healed wonderfully. I think we were about the same size. I'm getting my BR in the coming weeks!!

Thank you! This was the best decision I could have ever made for me. Honestly I have to keep looking at the pictures to remember what I looked like just a few short weeks ago. I feel great! Good luck with your upcoming procedure. Take care!!

Hello all. Pre-op done. Just waiting for the big day! I'm so excited! Many of my questions were addressed and I'm feeling good about the process. I was instructed to start taking Arnica Montana to help with post-op bruising and swelling.
Anyways... I go in at 6:45am October14. I should be in recovery by 10am. On my way home within a couple of hours after that. Truly mind blowing! I'll post before and after pics as soon as I can. Thanks again to all who have shared the good the bad and sometimes ugly part of this beautiful journey to being all we were created to be. Talk with you all soon! Be blessed!

I'm scheduled for Oct 19th and I am also 52 yrs and a 38 G. Good luck tomorrow. I will be right behind ya. My PS told me I could be C or D? So, I hope he goes smaller but anything smaller will be more comfortable for sure. Looking forward to being on the other side.

U didn't have to stay overnight? What did u take to the med center with u ? A robe ? Toiletries? I am so nervous and full of questions....

Sorry I'm just getting back no drains I came home the same day .. I took a shower on that Saturday no bleeding now I'm 11 days post op feeling good I've been off the Percocet the same week I came home went in thurs off them on that Saturday! I was wrapped tight and after I showered I wear a soft sports bra 24/7 unless I shower I still have some swelling and I have feelings in my nipples too I feel like shocks but over all I wish I've done this yrs ago... I'm trying to build up my strength and I go for my post op weds this week a lot of the surgical tape came off the bottom of the breast but not around the nipped yet it's a little lose but not enough to come off
