My Breast Reduction is PERFECT!
If you're considering a breast reduction, I whole heartedly recommend going to Dr. Oxley! I had my reduction on Feb 13/2024 after a long time on the waitlist and I am so happy I waited and didn't go to someone else to have it done faster.
Going into the surgery, I was a 34HH in UK bra sizing (which is a 34L in US sizing), and by working in the lingerie industry, thankfully I had the bra and breast knowledge that I have so I knew that it would be hard for Dr. Oxley to guarantee I would be a certain size, because every bra fits differently. We verbally agreed for my new breasts to be much smaller, but I am a curvier young woman so I still wanted breasts- I just wanted to be more proportionate.
6 weeks post op and I tried on wired bras for the first time and I'm in a 36F/36FF UK (36DDDD US) and I am THRILLED! I know that letter still seems large, but the shape of my breasts has completely changed as Dr. Oxley will also lift your breasts during your reduction- honestly I don't remember the last time my breasts have been so perky and I'm only 25! One thing to remember is that no surgeon will be able to make your breast root narrower, so even though Dr. Oxley removed about 5lbs of breast tissue total and lifted my breasts, that's why I still am a "large" cup size- but that's ok! An F cup was honestly my goal but I knew if I am a G in some bra styles that is ok. Try not to let the letter define you! Bras are a tricky garment to fit, that is why you should go to a specialty store and get professionally measured rather than a big chain store in the mall.
Recovery was also *much* easier than I anticipated! I actually went to a concert 2.5 weeks after my surgery (obviously no jumping around). I personally don't really handle pain well, but I didn't even need to take any of the T3's that I received during my recovery! Of course, everyone will handle pain and recovery differently, but I can say thankfully in my experience it was very easy, and I would do it again if I had to. The hardest part during recovery in my opinion was sleeping with your head/torso a bit elevated to help reduce swelling, so if you have a comfortable recliner or a couch that reclines, I would recommend sleeping on that for the first bit. Another helpful tip, which may seem funny, consider having a bidet installed before your surgery as movement after is limited. I was allowed to have my first shower 3 days after surgery, and if you have someone you trust in your life to help you shower, definitely take that opportunity.
Scarring wise, they're honestly pretty light already! The incision line is very thin, and I think when I'm a year post op, I might not even see them. I'm not sure if Dr. Oxley uses the same method on every patient, but he did the anchor method on my breasts and my nipples stayed attached during the surgery. I know losing sensitivity is a concern for a lot of people considering a reduction, and again I know it will differ between people, but I actually have more sensitivity in my nipples now. I'm unsure if I will be able to breast feed, but even some people that haven't had reductions are unable to breast feed, so I'm not going to blame a potential inability to breast feed on my reduction.
I know this was a long review, but I have had such a pleasant experience and this has already been such a life changing surgery for me. I am actually excited to be able to work out without pain, have a better rang of motion during sports, and just overall feel more confident and proportionate in my body. I 100% recommend having your breast reduction with Dr. Oxley if you're considering one :)
