Your breasts look beautiful! I’m so happy for you! What is a dog ear ?

Thanks! I am so happy with them. A dog ear is basically just a little spot where the stitches didn't heal up flat. I took a close up picture too. It really was a small little area but I was going into surgery anyways with my tummy tuck, so he fixed it then.

That’s good to know ! I have my breast Reduction scheduled for September 2nd so I’m glad I learned about this! What size did you start @ and then go down to? I don’t think I read that anywhere

I started a 36N! And I am now a 36 F/FF, I was a G right after surgery but after both the swelling went down and I lost 20-25#s, they are around an F/FF.

Good luck on your surgery!! One of the best things I have ever done for myself. I know everyone says it but I really should have done it years ago.

They can't reduce the width of your breasts, which is why they are more debulked and reduced but stay a higher size. Basically they are more bottom-heavy and wide. At least for us more with extreme reductions. Balconette bras are perfect and look amazing! I even have a push-up bra these days. Before the reduction, all I had were minimizer bras. I'll look for your review, You'll love the new you!

My new breasts have changed my life! I was able to loose 25#s after surgery, easily. By just being able to physical move freely. I can actually run without 3 bras and work out at the gym without my breasts getting in the way.

I had a tummy tuck 5 days ago and my doctor fixed a dog ear on one breast. This is my before picture. It’s still healing from the dog ear removal and I’ll update in a few weeks with the after picture.

I still can’t believe how wonderful my breasts turned out! I love everything about them.

I can't wait to see your TT!!! I keep getting mine put off for one reason or another, and I'm so scared I just keep wanting to back out. My now 42DDD are like saggy droopy lobs of skin. I'm afraid that they'll 1)be too small,, 2( be small AND droopy. Im also suppose to get the 360° TT at the same time. I'm afraid of what I will look like. I went from 404# size32/34 to now 265 size 18. Still a lot, but so much healthier! I've kept it off for 5 yrs now. ...I'd love to loose more, but my body just doesn't want to give it up..lol

Good for you!!! That's an amazing accomplishment! You will love having all that weight and extra skin lifted off! I had, I think, close to 9 pounds cut off between the reduction and the TT! I'm still only a week and a half out from my TT but so excited for the final result! As soon as I get the awful drain taken out, I'm going to take some picture and put up my review on the TT :)

Thank you! Doing what equals a mommy makeover (in two surgeries) was the best thing I've ever done for myself!

After some rough patches in the very beginning, I am absolutely in love with my new breasts! I can’t stop looking at them. I show them to anyone that shows interest. Including strangers in bathrooms lol.

My nipples look amazing!

It’s been exactly 4 weeks since my surgery. I’m going in next week for a check up. I’m hoping I can talk to them about scheduling a tummy tuck for early spring.
