Finally Getting my Breast Reduction - Beverly Hills, CA

I am just past two months post op and I couldnt be happier. The incisions are completly healed and my results are amazing! I will post another picture as the scars start to lighten up. I started running again recently and its such a difference. I am sleeping better (and can even roll over on my back at times). I would tell anyone contemplating having this procedure do not wait. It will absolutely change your life. Will post an update when the scars start to lighten.

5 weeks post-op!!!

So I know its a little early to be finally excited about bra shopping but I recently went and got fitted for new bras (seeing how none currently fit). I am a 38 DD (light years from where I was before surgery) and I couldnt be happier. I was told that they are still going to go down a little bit and the size will vary depending on where I am in my menstural cycle. I have had routine follow ups with the Dr. and everything seems to be going just as planned. I got my lab work back on the specimines that they removed during surgery and all came back completly clear of any cancer cells (even the lesion he removed off my breast). The hole that opened up under my breast has completly closed. All the tape has come off and I am currently treating the incision sites with just antibiotic ointment and gauze. I could not be happier about where I am right now. I even started spinning back at the gym this week. I was told running is still a couple weeks away, but I was happy to get back to doing things that I enjoy.

I think overall this whole process has been so worth it. Things didnt go exactly how I had planned in the beginning, however, I think right now I am completly on track to a life free of back aches and expensive bras! I am truly grateful for all Dr. Chahin and his staff have done for me. They work as a team with you and it makes you feel like you are truly family. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart....

pictures to come :)

So I have not posted in a while but I wanted to update everyone on my progress. I stopped taking the pain medication and muscle relaxer fairly early (after like the fourth day). I followed up with the doctor on day 6 and everything looked great. Drains are out and pain is at a minimum. I have to say I think I was expecting the worse, but the pain was never that intense. I describe it more as sore than anything. On day 8 I started experiencing very intense muscle spasams on the right side. I was instructed to continue the muscle relaxer twice a day (because for some reason it does not make me drowsy). They stopped almost immediately and I have been doing fine. Yesterday (day 11) a small hope opened up under the right breast (which is to be expected and I was warned would happen due to the technique that was used) and I have been covering it with gauze and keeping it clean. The doctor told me that everything looks perfect. I still have all the steri strips in place around the breast and I was told to leave those on until they start coming off on their own. Over all everything is going great. I am back to work (only because I have a desk job) and I started driving because I am not taking any of the pain meds or muscle relaxers. I will update with a picture again soon!!!
