Finally booked my BR surgery

WORTH IT
I’ve contemplated having this surgery for 15 or so years and for various reasons have never done it.
I’m currently wearing a 36 G. 5’2” and 165 and at my lowest weight of 135 i was wearing a 36 F. So not much of a change.
My biggest complaint is that I enjoy jogging but it’s hard to find a sports bra to contain them! I also cannot find a comfy bathing suit. Looking forward to not feeling so self conscious about my appearance and to not have people comment on the size of my chest!
Surgery is booked for August 6 th 2018. I’m going to ask to reduce to a full C.
Any recommendations for post op surgical bras?

Hello I just wanted to add in my review of Dr. Silver. I had my initial consult with her expecting to go for a few others but decided after meeting her that I trusted her to perform my surgery. I have had a few other consults in the years past.
I immediately felt comfortable with her, she has a very low key, down to earth personality that puts you at ease. With my other consults I felt judged for being slightly over my body weight and I never felt that from her.
It was like having a conversation with a friend.
I’ve read other reviews here that she is not the warm and fuzziest, I totally disagree
She is matter of fact, to the point, and efficient in a very kind way. She tells you what you need to know and is happy to answer all questions. ( these are all great qualities to have as a surgeon).
I will see her again in 3 weeks for my pre op to discuss shape and size etc.
looking forward to sharing my story.

You look fantastic in these pictures but I totally understand what you're saying. 2 years ago I was running a lot and got down to 135 pounds (I'm about 5'5") but still wore a 34DDD bra (mostly to accomodate all the sagging skin) that pulled on my neck and shoulders. I would get a headache after almost every run.

Thank you for he compliment and that’s probably part of the reason I waited so long to do this, they were always borderline too big.
Now I’m older (47) and figure they will only go one way, south, from here on in so why not do it now vs. in the future.
I’m hoping to feel like i have a new lease on life, they are really bothering me now.

Well I for one can say it worked for me!! SO glad to be painfree after swimming, hiking etc. now other than normal-people soreness!! And yes, it will only get worse, and they often get bigger after menopause too. Do it now so you can enjoy it longer!!!
