52 Years Old 38H. Surgery is Finally Scheduled! YES!

5 Weeks Post op

WORTH IT$6,001
Funny, I keep on hooking my bras on the tightest hook and then remember no need for tight and readjust to the least tight hook. Things are going well, still a little sore when I move certain ways, but nothing crazy. I have been rubbing them down twice a day with Palmers Vitamin E oil, hoping that helps with the scarring. I go back to my PS on Friday for my final check with him. I hope everyone is doing great out there!!

Overall rating

I have met with Dr. Friedman once in 2013 and then lost my nerve. Since then I have lost 35 lbs and met with him again and scheduled my surgery for November 8, 2017. My PS is wonderful and I feel like this will be a great experience...minus the PAIN!!! I am confident this time that I will go through with the surgery. I have to say that this forum has really helped me gain the confidence I need for this. I am ready!! ***UPDATE*** Wonderful! I had a breast reduction/lift, which took me years to get my nerve to do. I had chosen Dr. Friedman to do my surgery 4 years ago after he did the same procedure for a friend of mine. He was great the whole way from initial consult (he explains everything crystal clear) to bedside manner...wonderful...he even held my hand and shoulder as I drifted off to sleep and the next thing I knew I woke up in what seemed like seconds later in the recovery room in VERY MINIMAL discomfort. I have had 2 post op appts with him in the first 5 days and will have 1 more on the 10th day Post Op. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Friedman for what ever surgery you are interested in doing. He is top notch, professional and down to earth. He makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease in his care.

Thank you so much!!
Looking really good! You look more than one month along.
Thanks Wendy! Have you had yours yet?
Yup, I've had two - my first in 2015 and a scar revision and further reduction of leftie last January. I didn't know about RealSelf for my first one and didn't think anyone would be interested in the smaller second surgery, but I love keeping up with everyone's stories!
Wow....your results are amazing!! I'm so glad your so happy!! Have fun shopping for your new little cute shirts!!!
Thanks so much!! It is so awesome being able to wear cute little shirts!! So glad I did it!

Next PS appt 30 days!!

Had my 3rd post op appt with PS today. I drove the 4 hour round trip to his office by myself with no problem at all. I wouldn't have been up for that even 2 days ago, it is amazing the difference the last 48 hours have made. AND...YAAAAY!!! I am getting very close to being able to sleep on my side. Looking at my updated pics...I have this weird scab under my right side, the PS said that this is quite common with this type of surgery. It doesn't hurt or anything, but I wish it was healing as well as the left side. My right nipple has sensation but the left still not so much but some! Hope everyone is doing great!! Still, so glad I did this!!!!
