Hi everyone!
I'm feeling much better. I bought a bunch of post op bras from eBay seller bluedragon-07, they are an Australian seller in NSW and have a large range of affordable bras. Recovery wise has had its ups and downs. My left boob and nipple is strong and good! My right one .... not so much. It's been peeling, has no feeling and smells NASTY. I'm cleaning it every day with saline solution and I was given this steroid cream to put on twice a day from the hospital. Ai ai ai I'm just hoping that it gets better. I've also started getting zingers which are those little nerve shocks that you will experience every now and then; they aren't that bad, just awkward. PS: I'm sorry I don't have more direct boob pics... I'm kinda shy -__-

Hi Cleo just wondering how did you go with the right boob? Did it fully recover?

Hi munya it's much better no feeling in the nipple but it's recovered really well. Are you thinking about getting a reduction?

Yes i have had one consultation with a different doctor but was overally not pleased with him. I'm in melbourne and original from Zimbabwe too. I think i will book a consultation with your surgeon since he has done darker skin before. And thanks for sharing your journey it has boosted my confidence

Hi Munya, sorry for the late reply. I honestly can't recommend Dr Kalus enough! The after care was amazing and the nursing staff even spoke with my concerned family who kept calling from Harare (amana ka) also after care comes with LED therapy at their skin clinic

Hahahaha Awww how did your consultations go? And one tip get private health insurance (NOT MEDIBANK) get Nib. I had medibank and after they agreed to assist in claiming after my surgery once the date came (after 2 years) they said the policy changed and I couldn't claim anything nxa

May I ask were you happy with the end result? I had surgery in April and the results are less than ideal. Still left with really big breasts and finding it hard to get bras to fit because of the unusual size of them. I had a total of 1.5 kg removed. What is you final shape like?

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that; I am really happy with my results and my breasts are now a D cup. They are a round shape, I still don't have feeling in my right nipple just yet and have a few hematomas but other than that all is well. What has your surgeon said?

Hi guys,

I hope everyone one is well. It's been 11 days since my BR and I've had ups and downs.
Day 1
After I woke up from surgery I was sooo loopy and was telling the nurses how beautiful they are and that they should quit and start modelling. Haha... Then the pain hit... OH MY!!! My throat was sore as well due to that thing they put down your throat.
So I was given more pain medication and the nurses were really kind holding my hand and I felt like a little kid again. I really needed that since I'm only in Australia with my cousin and I wanted my mommy. The nurses went above and beyond the entire time to provide emotional support.
I was very cold and had pale hands which was probably due to the fact that I've had low iron for years.
I was given medical electric blanket that pumps hot air. It was everything!
I spent the night there and I had absolutely no appetite at all but had to try to at least eat some crackers and tea.
The next day I saw my boobs for the first time. They still had [RS bleep] over them but I just couldn't believe it. I looked so... so... Good! (And slim)
I had my drains taken out which did not hurt but felt really weird.
I realised that a recliner is necessary so we stopped at fantastic furniture looking a mess and all. Bought a recliner and it would be delivered the next day.
We got home and I slept on the sofa... It was the worse experience thus far I was extremely uncomfortable. My back, neck and shoulders throbbed so much which I did not expect.
I literally had to order a bunch of heat patches due to this pain.
To be honest recovery has not been easy. I've had difficulty sleeping and a lot of pain and swelling. I won't go into it toooo much because I understand that they took out 5 kg from me and it would be hard.
My new boobs look so nice and suit my shape so well so I am extremely happy about that but it's been hard. I will post more clear and informative updates when I'm feeling a bit better and less drowsy lol.

Wow 5kg...instant weight loss! Love your cousin, taking over your recovery chair!

Wishing you a speedy recovery. You should be feeling better soon. Would be great to see some more pics. Most are your face, which is hard to see what you were before and what you are now. I'm also in Melbourne so I've been enjoying your story. Hope you start to feel great soon.

Thank you so much, my African mom keeps saying " I need to see your eyes I need to see if you are resting show me your face in the picture" so I think it's a habit I've formed eeeek but I will definitely start taking specific pics for here. Thanks Hun xoxox
