One week post surgery mark, and I couldn’t be more delighted

Hi! I’m 68 years old! After a lifetime of being big busted and not loving my silhouette, I gave myself a wonderful gift- a breast reduction and lift by Dr Vinyard. Dr V is a popular plastic surgeon in Port St Lucie, Fla.Today is my one week post surgery mark, and I couldn’t be more delighted. I was a 38DDD and now I’m somewhere around a C cup! I went from looking like a granny to looking like a college girl! I can see my torso, which was hidden from sight for the past 50 years! I look so much slimmer, and my petite frame is now revealed! Hallelujah!

I was drawn to Dr Vinyard based upon peer reviews from this site and his website. I was not disappointed! He is a wonderful doctor, sincere & soft spoken, honest, caring and great at what he does! His staff led by Surgery nurse Mary Louise is fantastic! They are all very kind and extremely attentive. I feel very welcomed and valued by each of them. I asked early on if the doctor had other patients in my age bracket. They said yes, but the truth is that I didn’t see their B/ A’s because they didn’t want their pics to be public. I am sharing purposefully because I hope to inspire other women that it IS NEVER TOO LATE to manifest your lifelong dreams! The satisfaction is equally satisfying at 68 as it would have been at 38. I’m so proud of myself for having done it! Also, there is not a high level of pain after the surgery, rather a degree of soreness. I was able to just use extra strength Tylenol gel caps (1) every 6 hrs for the first 4 days. No opioids!
I will update every couple of weeks for the first 6 weeks until I’m considered on the road to being healed. Stay tuned!

Saw Dr Vinyard a few days ago for my 3 week follow up. I’m experiencing a small ( tiny) wound under each breast where the stitches are sown to my rib cage. This is very common and I’m told not to be concerned. I wash the area 4x per day and I’m trying to remain inactive as the doctor suggested... which is NOT easy with 4 dogs! My breasts are still swollen so they appear a bit fuller than they will be when they are fully healed over the course of 6+ months. Mt perception is that the breasts are HALF THE SIZE they were before. It’s a surreal experience to see them so high and firm, and to see my torso. I can see my belly button! This continues to amaze me! I’m excited to see how this journey evolves. :-) Dr V seems pleased and is very complimentary. He’s a wonderful doctor, and his staff couldn’t be sweeter and more supportive! It’s been a great experience so far.
