So far I have had a consultation with several plastic surgeons. My favorite by far is Dr. Christine Nygaard in Bellevue, WA. My sister referred me to her having had breast augmentation and lipo performed by Dr. Nygaard some years back with excellent results. I must say I am extremely impressed with the thorough consultation from Dr. Nygaard's office from the educational materials provided, the assistance with submitting the case to my insurance to the amount of time spent with me individually talking about my goals. The insurance request was sent last week. I am told it takes 2-4 weeks to receive an answer. Fingers crossed the procedure is approved!! I've been thinking about doing this since I was about 19 so I cannot wait to take the next steps!!

So a 34E what's your height and weight? Are they as perky as they appear in the bra?
July 6, 2015
Hi! I am 5'7" and 160lbs. They are not perky at all unfortunately. They sag almost down to my elbows. I'm going to upload some pics later tonight of what they look like outside the bra for reference.

I am 6 weeks away from her doing my reduction. It's my second. I had one when I was 19 and now another at 37. I have my preop with her next week. I am a 36 G and she is thinking she can get me to around a C. Insurance is covering it.

That is so awesome! I love her so far! I can't wait to get things rolling!

I met her in February and have been anxiously awaiting for 4 months. She was amazing and I felt so comfortable with her and her staff.

How was your experience with being put under your first time around? I'm pretty freaked out by it. Was there a lot of pain and discomfort when you woke up?
July 7, 2015
I don't remember a lot of pain but more discomfort than anything else. I get sick when anesthesia wares off but that was the worst. I was also given some Valium before they gave me anything else so I would be calmer.

Best of luck!

Thank you so much! I'm really excited to get it done finally.

160lbs...6 of which is probably the weight of my boobs. I think they weigh approximately 3lbs each, give or take. Here are some pictures of me now. I included my torso to show that though I'm not in the best shape of my life I have a BMI that is in the normal range with breasts that are out of proportion. I have also included a pic that I took after I got back from my consult at which time Dr. Nygaard drew a dot on me to give me an approximation of where my new nipple might go. When I got home I drew on a fake nipple and pushed myself up the way the Dr did just to get an idea of what I may look like.

Im down 2 lbs due to exercise and healthy eating. Trying to get in shape so I can be at my best for surgery.

Best of luck to you! I am 52, and six months out from my BR. I went to doctors in my 30's, but chickened out. Wish I had done it then, but LOVE it! Went from a 32 DDD or E, to a 32-34 D. The best part is without a bra, it feels SO light! Like no boobs! I didn't realize how heavy they were until they are not. Make sure you are getting a good lift as well as reduction. You will be so pleased. Hope you get approval soon!

OMG ... my partner just said he thought these pics were of me .... the exact same breasts ... I am so impressed with your results .... thankyou... this has given me the impetus to now go ahead too !

I bet 6 lbs is a little light for them. Mine were only a tiny bit larger and EACH weighed almost 8 lbs. My dr took almost 6 lbs in total from my reduction, I should level out around a D when the swelling is down. You'll LOVE it!
