I just wanted to quickly update you all. I am so pleased with my new boobs. They have recovered well = still have a slight tender feeling where the Mondor's cords were but they are basically gone. They are soft the scars are fading and my husband loves them. I can buy clothes that fit, I feel sexy and not matronly. It was the best thing I have ever done. Good luck to all you healing ladies and I wish those thinking of a reduction success in choosing a great PS. all the best,

I wanted the best and that is what I got. Breast reduction is a difficult operation and decision to have done. I spent years procrastinating about this operation and knew that I needed a surgeon who understood and did not judge me. I was lucky enough to know two pervious clients of Mr Vijh and saw the end results. Now I know that two is a small number so I watched him on television then went for a consultation. He was kind, understanding I did not feel awkward and knew I could trust him. He made no promises about size or return of feeling but explained the risks to the procedure. He never pressed me to book - in fact it was 6 months after my first consult that I had my operation. I can only say that I am delighted with my size and healing so far. I would recommend Mr Vijh to my friends and family. Thank you. I am very grateful.

Thanks for the update. I followed your story as I was due in the same time (before my first cancellation ). So glad everything went well and good to hear that everything is back to normal. Even less than 2 weeks post op and after 2 cancellations it's the best thing ever [RS bleep]
Glad you are so happy with your results, your incisions looked superb.

5 week check up

Saw my ps today and everything is great. I am really pleased with my healing, size and scares. The numb feeling is slowly going down. The scare under my breasts feels a little hard but that is also slowly softening. I can start jogging again in two weeks but with two high impact bras - just as before surgery I'm looking forward to getting back to it and hope that I can improve without the extra weight on my chest.
The only issue I have is that either side under my breast running from the scar towards my tummy I have what I can on,ly describe as a tight tendon with is superficial and feels stretched like a band when I raise my arms it's more painful that any of the other issues. I asked my ps and he felt the area and could see it but did not know what or why I had them. Any one else had anything like this? We are going to wait and see what happens naturally but he has agreed to intervene if I need him to. I will keep you all posted. Here are my boobs 5 weeks post.

Could it be Mondor's cord? I experienced this after surgery. Not a serious condition and it resolved on its own.
Thank you it's good to know what it could be. It's irritating as I really want to get back to yoga but I can't stretch!
Hi, how long did it take to resolve? Thank you.:)
I read some of the Q & A on this site about it and people have said 2 to 6 months. I've messaged my ps for confirmation and advise. Have you got it too?
I can't remember how long it took to resolve - sorry.
I know just what you mean, I will be 5 weeks Wed. Near my underarm it's so tight and kind of firm feeling. On the left side it's quite rope at the incision. I go Tuesday to see my PS .
Haven't spoken with you in a while. The girls look great! Hope you're enjoying them.
