WORTH IT

I'll make my review simple. I'm posting for all my European ladies 'cause I haven't been able to find any on here.

My breast were droopy and burdensome plus I'd found some fibroids that although were deemed harmless by my gyno, I still wanted them out. So the procedure consisted of a reduction,lift and fibroid removal.

I'm into my second wk. my operation date was on the 31 Aug., and I'm feeling great!

I had no need of drips, pain medications after leaving the hospital after only a 24h stay.

I've had weak and dizzy moments but that's apart of recovery. I take small slow walks and I'm healing fantastically with weekly visits to my doctor's office to check progress. My follow up visit will be on 19th Sept' to have the nurse do her routine check, maybe I'll be able to go bandage free.

My sutures fall out themselves so I'm looking less Frankenstein like :).

In 6 wks. my doctor will check my overall progress.

What size were you before surgery and what will you be now? I think they look pretty good for just having the surgery a couple weeks ago. I have mine tomorrow morning.

I was a 38D+ US size and 85D/E European size.

Now they are a full C that sits beautifully in C cup bra, woot, woot! But I'm still wearing my restraints (maternity bra support).

Good luck! When you wake up, perhaps a bit disoriented, but you'll feel a difference on your chest immediately and each time you go to pee, which will be frequent.

Will take some getting used to initially, I'm still making efforts to walk upright with the new balance of my breast.

No regrets for me at all!

Thanks. I probably wont be able to stop looking in the mirror for a while. My PS said that going down to a C cup shouldn't be to hard, but we will see tomorrow. Keep us posted and I will be writing my reviews after surgery.

lol yeah; I pull my support bra down each time I cross a mirror the differences for me are drastic.

Sure, I'll be looking up on your's too, I'm sure they're gonna look marvelous! not much to do during recovery either. This site's been useful for moments like when thought I felt a stitch popping out,and freaked :)

But just be confident in your doc, if he says it's possibly then trust him. The last thing I remembered before going under the meds is my doctor's reassuring eyes while he told me a lame joke which I strangely remember finding funny at the time :D

Well I feel great and yes I keep looking at myself in the mirror. Trying not to do to much, I have OCD (just a little bit).

Rosey, You look amazing -- what a difference! Doesn't it feel great. I know what you mean about the mirror! I've kind of become self-absorbed with my appearance now. I peek at them every chance I get and have to feel them frequently to see how they are changing and softening. It is unbelievable!
