23 Years Old, 1 Child, 36DD/DDD and Ready for a Breast Reduction! - Baltimore, MD

Hello everyone. I wanted to document my journey to my breast reduction. Since my breast started growing I have been really self conscious about them. They have ALWAYS sagged, my areolas are HUGE and they are not attractive. I remember the first me and my daughters father decided to become intimate I left my bra on because I was so self conscious about the way my breasts looked and he thought I was so silly. I gave birth to my daughter last April and since the pregnancy they have grew to a DD/DDD. I can barely fit my shirts, I don't feel sexy, not to mention the pain of how heavy they are. The nasty dark sweat marks underneath the breast. My family is filled with women with big breasts, so far I am the only one with courage to get the reduction. I had my pre-op yesterday with my Primary Care Doctor to have my blood work done and etc. I'm all set! Surgery date is set for July 10, 2017 with Dr. Brendan Collins at Mercy Hospital. I'm excited! I hear he has a really good eye and can't wait to see my results! I'll keep you guys posted.

It is now 12:05am, all drinking and eating has ceased lol my surgery is tomorrow! I have taken my shower and cleansed with the medical soap they have given me and I will be doing it again tomorrow morning. Kinda nervous but super excited to get these things out of the way and to a reasonable comfort. I hear it is painless, its moreso the soreness. I sure hope so! Will keep you posted post opp

Hey guys! My surgery was today. I got to the hospital about 9am this morning where I checked in. I then was brought into the pre-op area where we went through all the questions and blah blah. My doctor ran late behind his first surgery so mines happened to be pushed back I was supposed to go at 11:20 but I didn't wind up going into the OR until about 1pm. I did great with the anesthesia, no nausea or vomiting. I do have a really bad headache. My doctor used dissolvable stitches inside and the skin glue on the outside so hopefully scarring goes well. I had the glue on my C-Section scar and it's like it isn't even there! I woke up with my surgical bra on already so I do not know how they look for the next few days because I was advised not to shower for 2 days just birdbath. When I first woke up they looked small to me but the nurse told me "Don't Worry" I said they are supposed to be a large C small D she said "ahhh yes that looks about right just wait for the swelling to go down" lol. I had 1 Percocet pill (I hate the feeling of those) so every 4 hours I will be taking the Tylenol Extra Strength. My doctor also told me he used numbing medicine on my incisions that should last for about 72hrs so that was a relief. I also received some lipo under my arms and on my back where the fat would usually hang over my bra, my doctor said he likes to contour it out he can't stand that back fat after a reduction LOL. No drains either ! Well I'm going to nap, will keep you guys updated.
