Breast Reduction on 8/12

WORTH IT
I see that Dr. Viñas doesn't have a lot of Journey reviews on Real Self, so I thought it'd be nice to document my journey. I'm 5'8 and jump between 212-226 pounds. 25 years old. I have my surgery scheduled on 8/12/19, I'm currently a 38DDD. I'll be doing a lollipop reduction.

1 day post op! I’m just leaving the doctors office. Virtually no pain, just a little soreness around the incision. I’m able to walk around normal, eat normal, etc. However, I’m still very tired from the anesthesia, so I have been taking frequent naps. He gave me the OK to shower and right now I was instructed to just put the prescribed ointment on my nipple area twice a day. I have an appointment for next for another post-op appointment. Let me know in the comments any questions or concerns.

Did they Cover a good portion of it? I’m nervous my insurance won’t but i have all my fingers and toes crossed.

My insurance usually covers 80%, the billing was weird with this office so Idk what my final out of pocket is. I will probably make a post about it when things get situated.

Nothing eventful yet. I’m anxious to see the final results. It’s so weird not having large breasts anymore. I’m very surprised about how quickly I’m recovering! The next day after surgery I went to get my eyes done, went to Ross, went to my post op. However, I haven’t driven anywhere, I’m waiting a week to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Hi! They look very good! I have 2 questions..did the doctor say that the "wrinkle" look is a normal part of the recovery? And did they have to reattach your nipples?
