Nearly two years on after breast reduction????
WORTH IT$13,500
Hi guys, I just thought I would do a quick up date so you can see a two years on post surgery review. I am so utterly thrilled still, i keep marvelling at my amazing bust now and think Dr Davis was a complete artist!
I was a 12 DD pretty much at 6 weeks post op, and nothing's changed I'm still a 12 DD, occasionally an E depending on the brand. To be honest I hate wearing actual bras now and opt for little stretchy bra tops. I have loved these last two summers being comfy ????
Breast reduction was the best thing I have ever done, I only wish I did it earlier.

3 months post Breast reduction . New Zealand
Thought I better post some more pics seeing this site helped me so much with everyone else's pics.
No back pain, standing straight tall and proud :-)
I marvel every day at my new boobs and feel incredibly grateful that everything healed so well and is so so comfortable. :-)
My surgeon Charles Davis and his nurse Janine are the loveliest people to be in the care of . Charles is a true artist and perfectionist. I feel lucky to have had him as my surgeon and grateful that insurance paid the lot. ????
I just had a wonderful holiday with my husband and child in Rarotonga ,and for the first time I wore a tiny cloth triangle bikini instead of an over shoulder boulder holder. I have never felt so comfy :-)
I am a true 10 or 12 DD, I wanted to be a C but my surgeon said he felt I should go with in keeping with the rest of my shape. I am so glad I am not a C now , I adore my cleavage and wouldn't want them smaller, he was right!!! In fact I look at my boobs and feel like they are only B's they feel so small in comparison to what they were.
They are lighter by a kilo ???? yay!

Hi there, I'm thinking about doing this too (after three kids and breastfeeding!). I was wondering how you chose Charles Davis out of all the surgeons out there? I live in Nelson, so shopping around for a surgeon is bit tricky!

Hi. I'm in Nelson too. Am booked in April to see Charles Davis. Not much choice in Nelson.

Hello NZ lady! I've been recommended Charles Davis and David Glasson, as well as Marcus Bisson. I think I'll have consults with the first two and then decide. Would like to hear how you go with yours....And no, I think there are only one or two choices in Nelson, and it is really hard to find out if they're good at what they do.

34 days post op, no back pain and elated
Thought I should do an updated pic and review.
I have no back pain any more which is wonderful and no dents on my shoulders from heavy bra straps ????
Went to see my PS and he is so pleased with how I have healed. He says my shape may change slightly but cup size will pretty much stay the same size now.
I got professionally measured and the lady sorted me 4 lovely 12 DD bras. Funny , when u look at my boobs they look so tiny to me but apparently bigger than we first thought. I adore them and it's amazing to wear a beautiful backless dress and not have to wear a bra ????????????
My PS is such an artist, he has decided that my right nipple should be a wee bit rounder ( he thinks two stitches dissolved too early) so wants to just re correct it in August. I am so happy the way it is, but understand being an artist , the importance of having your work look perfect. I have agreed to come back in 5 weeks (holiday first) for him to re correct the top of my right areola.
In the mean time I am having fun finding bikinis for the holiday and new clothing! Such fun

I am so so happy for you! Can't wait to be two months po myself (now 21 days po). I have some worries about the shape of my nipples. Hopefully my dr will also be this generous if the nipples don't turn out to be even and round :)

They do look a wee bit odd to start with but suddenly over night they seems to open up like a rosebud. I am sure they will be fine x

Have no idea about NZ sizing but looks like a perfect BR! Enjoy your new freedom!

Well to start with I had not much feeling in my nipples, then gradually it got a little better after a couple of months but not back to normal . After maybe 6 months I thought they were just about right but 2 years On, and I realize they are perfectly sensitive. Just as sensitive as the day before I had the op . It just takes time (but no two peoples recovery are the same)
I was nervous that I wasn't going to have sensation in my nipples for the longest time but I can just say.... be patient, it comes with time
