Hello dolls I have been needing a breast reduction for years but I love my breasts so much that I tried everything to keep them. Exercise lost a lot of weight and my breast was still full and heavy. I weight trained to strengthen my back nothing changed. I’ve always wear a bra and a sports bra for support and lets not talk about the prices of my G size bras. Chantel bras cost me $90 a pop in matter of fact my cheapest bra is 29.99 when I caught a bra sale at Macy’s ect. Needless to say I’ve spent thousands on bras and still suffered neck, upper back pain, and horrible headache. My primary inform me that a reduction is what I needed.
Anyways I finally decided to get my breast reduction since my youngest is 3 and I’m not having anymore children so no more breast feeding. I decided it was time. My doctor of first choice was Dr. John Connors at Atlanta but decided to go home to Miami for the procedure instead so my sister and I started to do some deep research and came across Dr. Krau. The king of breast. We literally read every post, review, you tube, articles ect about Dr. Krau for a year. He’s from NY so my Dad a Brooklynknight told me to stick with Dr. Krau. First we called his office located at Bel harbor which is nearest to my moms house but didn’t get a response called again for a couple of days. Than was told to do the online consulting from his website. I did and 3 days later received an email that I was a good candidate for the surgery and prices was giving. By this time I called again and inform his assistant that I had book with his other office at CG because the coordinator there (Vanessa) was so Prompt and return all my questions and concern on the same day. We did the consultation and I was book. Now I was skeptical at first to have my surgery at CG Cosmetic but Vanessa put my nerves at ease. From October to December she keep me updated she returned all text messages she assist with changing my surgery date. She was really like that surgery friend everyone needs. When I walk into cg I was please by the look of the facility. The staff spoke clear English and the service was smooth. Everyone was super nice and helpful. From front desk to pre op. Nothing like what I read on some of the reviews. Anyways I am 2 days post op as of today. My surgery was on December 22 with the King Dr.Krau. He is amazing ladies. He ensured me not to worry that he’s going to make them just beautiful. So I did just that (not worry). My anesthesiologists was a handsome tall chocolate man. He was so sweet and nice he put in my IV walk me to the surgery room which was state of the art. Very clean and up to date. He help me lay down on the surgery bed and another guy nurse started to place some warm stuff on my legs and I was out like a light. When I woke up around 3ish I was in the recovery room. The nurse was so sweet when I was ready she dress me gave me my instructions and told me my sister was out front with the car. Then another lady wheelchair me to the car. I’m not sure what size my breast are now but I feel like a load was taking off my back. Here are some pics of before and after. I go to my post op appointment tomorrow so I’ll keep y’all updated. Feel free to ask any questions.

So It’s been 2 weeks where should I start.. umm my breast are still sore and so sensitive. I hate waking up that’s when I feel pain and tightness around the incisions. My nipple I wish my areola was a lil bigger I’m so used to having a huge areola my nipple is big so I feel I should of have more areola space but overall I’m happy. No back neck or headache. My right breast underneath Was leaking and it look like I must of open up a little my doctor the great Dr. Krau prescribes me a solution and it dried my wounds right up. Excited to see what my actual size would be but I’m so happy with them so far. Here are some pics.

In LOVE with my new girls. Everything is healing nicely. Dr. Krau is always available to answer my questions and concerns. My breast are still full without implants My nipples get hard when I am cold ect but still no sensation. I still feel a little discomfort in the morning with my bottom scars. I’m not sure if I am stretching the incisions being that I am sleeping flat now. But overall I am so satisfied and relieved that I no longer suffer from back, and neck pain. I love looking at them in the mirror. I still can’t believe I was carrying all that weight on my chest for sooo long.
