ORIGINAL POST

BR - 36G/H - Want a C-cup, Doc Says DD/D Smallest Possible?

Exuberant7462September 29, 2019
WORTH IT$7,500
I'm 5'11 and ~178lbs with a 36 G/H cup. I just scheduled my surgery, and am really comfortable with my surgeon. He spent nearly an hour on my consult and walked me through everything. I have a complicating condition (hEDS) which could slow my healing, and he has a clear plan and is ready to deal with possible complications. However he says that because i have dense, glandular breast tissue, and because my breasts are relatively full, the smallest he can get me is a DD, maybe a D. I really wanted them smaller because im afraid they will grow larger over time! He said if i want a B/C i'd have to do the surgery 2x. Has anyone else had this experience? Should I be looking for another opinion, or should I be glad my surgeon is managing my expectations and being clear about what to expect?

I am convinced that I could not have selected a better surgeon. Dr. Soni was caring, he worked closely with me on a pre-existing complicating condition, he advocated for me with hospital staff, and made absolutely sure I had everything I needed to return home with confidence. From his scheduler, Eve, to the PAs that visited me in the hospital, all of his staff were caring, competent, and efficient. My surgery was 5 days ago and my results are shaping up nicely. You will not regret selecting Dr. Soni as your surgeon.

I was a 36J, I am now a 36D and possibly DD. It's perfect, they're perfect! I couldn't be happier. Trust your surgeon. You need enough tissue to keep your nipples alive. Best of luck, check out my review for tips you might find helpful.

Thank you for the encouragement! It has taken me 8 years to get up the nerve to book this procedure. I just found this site, and the posts by other women have been super helpful in understanding what to expect!

I have my surgery scheduled few months out, I’m 36 g/h and also asked for a c cup and she said same thing possible D but can’t go smaller. Question for soul searching mama. Do you still have nipple sensitivity? So scary to think of that all gone. Still worth the surgery, just curious since you were the same size.

I have heard/read that if the surgeon can do a "free nipple graft" then the breasts can be reduced to a smaller size. :)

We moved my surgery date up a week, and the doctor is keeping me in the hospital overnight to titrate my meds and to observe how my skin handles the stitches. (hEDS folks can have some resistance to opiates and delicate skin / poor skin quality). This makes me a bit more comfortable with the process, but I'm still extremely nervous!

Getting excited / nervous - post surgery clothes

Exuberant7462November 10, 2019
So I splurged on some Lululemon pants that can almost pass for business casual for the lipo portion of my surgery. I also found these bras from She Fit, that look like they will be awesome for healing, as they are super adjustable, and I don't know what size I'll be. I'd love any advice for what to purchase for post-surgery comfort!
