I am considering a Breast Reduction in June. I am currently a 42DDD and they are starting to wear me down. I literally went to 4 different stores to find the right size bra for me. I eventually gave up and started to order them online. I started getting scars on my shoulders from my bra cutting into my skin. At this point, my Physician thought it was time for a reduction. I put it off for too long!!! I am also having pain in my upper back with walking or standing for a long time. I decided to go with Dr. Brendan Collins at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. I am a bit nervous but enough is enough. It's definitely time!!!!

Hello. I just had my BR performed in the same Baltimore area as you three days ago (you can see my post) if you need a PS suggestion you should definitely consult with Dr. Michele Shermak there isn't an answer that she doesn't know when it comes to BRs and she is easy to speak with. Don't put it off because when you do finally get it done you'll wonder why you waited so long to do it. Trust me. Good luck and if you have any questions just post them, there are great resources on this website.

I ended up changing my surgeon! Dr Ajay Kumar will be performing my procedure at St Agnes Hospital. Everyone else was booked up until fall. My consultation went well and I actually had to watch a video educating me about this procedure. Dr Kumar was really nice! Believe it or not the office scheduled my surgery for next Friday June 6th!!! I'm soooo nervous and scared! All of this week I'll be running around trying to get my pre-op and things I'll need to prepare!! My anxiety is at an all time high.. I just want to get through this lol! I'll keep you Posted!

How super duper EXCITING!!!!!??!! Are you staying in the hospital overnight or is it an out patient procedure? I read on this site that some women were using maxi pads over their incisions I didn't remember that so I ended up spending unnecessary money on surgical pads. If you decide to go the same route Walgreens is the place to go. Also, you'll need Aquaphor (or some sort of protective barrier moisturizer to put over the incisions). Wal-Mart has the best (in my humble opinion) bra ever, they have the eye and hook closures straight up the front. There are all kinds of other suggestions on here but don't go crazy buying stuff! Good luck and I'm extra happy for you!
