54 & Going from a DD to A/B and Can't Wait! - Bangor, ME

UPDATED FROM jb90619

Two weeks post-op

Had my two week exam this week and it went great... swelling continues to go down and I am beyond thrilled with my new, smaller breasts. Suture tape was removed and the scars are a bit more pronounced than I had thought they'd be, but I am sure time will take care of that. Still a bit of discomfort, but all in all, could not be happier!

jb90619's provider

Dr. David Branch

Dr. Branch works out of Bangor Plastic and Hand Surgery in Bangor, Maine. I cannot say enough good things about him or his staff. From start to finish they have been supportive, kind and professional. Dr. Branch - in addition to being a great surgeon - is also an artist. I could not be happier with the results of my breast reduction.

You look terrific!
Thank you! I have never, ever been exactly proud of my breasts, but now I just want to flash everyone! Do you still have the drains in? How are you feeling?
Drains came out yesterday. I feel okay...still have pain. I took my first shower today. My first real look at them....VERY SMALL. I'm fine with that, but am not sure they fit my frame. Telling myself to be patient.

10 Days post-op

Swelling is up and down but that is due largely to my pushing things. Over all, looking good as things mend.

Looks great! You must be so happy with the new, smaller, you! Rest and stay hydrated! I have my surgery tomorrow...scared out of my wits, but hopeful ^_^
Good luck aliasGrace. Hope it goes well.
I was very scared going in, but it is so worth it! The very worst part of this whole thing I will tell you is the pre-surgery drawing on the breasts they have to do. But to wake up with all that extra "stuff" gone? Heaven! Please let me know how it goes - I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!
Looks great. Take it easy. Hope mine goes smooth like yours.

A week later...

Little swelling on left side, but mostly due to my over doing it. When they say take it easy, they mean it!

Glad you are healing up. What do you think overdid it? I am trying to plan for post-op and wondering what I'll be able to do. I have ten days off work (desk job).
I have pretty much a desk job, as well. By over doing - driving my standard-shift vehicle and grocery shopping. Did not lug any heavy items, but pushing that cart around the store was probably not the best idea. Then a lot of reaching over my head. If you have 10 days, I suggest spending them being as still as possible.
Thank you. I am going to try! I can get away without pushing shopping carts but there is always something in a house with young kids in it. I will have to work hard to defend my down time.
rest and relax [RS bleep]
Who is ur insurance carrier
I live in Maine and am under ACA. VERY happy with it!
