WORTH IT
I had my four week appointment and got a couple stitches removed which my PS assistant said should really help move along the stubborn spots healing process. I was cleared for lifting and all activities and to start scar therapy if I want.
She said massaging the scars with any moisturizer is the best thing you can do for scar therapy!
Still no regrets and one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m still so happy!! Healing is going fantastically and I can go back to work now yay!
Got a few spots that need extra care which I showed in the photos but I’m happy with the progress ! (:

2 weeks and 4 das post op
So far recovery has been pretty easy. I haven’t really experienced much pain at all, only a bit of soreness but overall it’s been super easy. The hardest part is sleeping well at night, it’s difficult to get comfortable while elevated and restricted to back only sleeping. My lifting restriction is still 10 pounds so I can’t even pick up my kitties to snuggle but I am so incredibly happy so far.
I got my tape and glue off my incisions last Friday. Which makes me feel a bit more vulnerable and less secure. I worry about getting openings in my incisions, but I’m doing my best to take it easy and not overdo it. Trying my best to give myself the time I need to heal even though I feel back to normal almost.
I couldn’t resist and I measured myself before a shower the other night: rib cage 28.5 and bust was 33.5 which puts me at a 30DD. Yes I know I am still very swollen and it takes about a year to get your true size but I was shocked as I assumed I was about a B already even with swelling. Either way I am truthfully so happy already with my cute itty bitty boobies!

I was just wondering if you had implants placed for shape or not.
Nope, it's all just swelling at the moment
Congratulations! I’m having mine done soon & my only regret is not doing it 10 years ago pre kids!
Lots of women are upset when they get the DD instead of the holy grail c-cup. But, I went from an H cup to a dd and barely need a bra. I even pass the pencil test! You look great! Enjoy your great results!
Yes, I also know that since my rib cage is tiny a 30DD is basically a 32D and with swelling since it's still early I'll probably get a bit smaller. However if I did end up staying this size I would be alright, as I feel confident and great about they regardless of the measurement! Which I haven't felt in forever!! Thank you!! And congrats to you on yours as well! (:

Third day post op
The day of surgery I felt really good with minimal pain. Day two I had a lot more soreness, but it is still very tolerable. The hardest part is relaxing and not doing much. I did not raze how important my arms are to my everyday life till this lol. I feel pretty useless at the moment. While I can do things myself I am trying to baby my incisions as much as possible so that I don't get any openings in the incisions and everything heals nicely.

Congrats- you look soooo good ! Also, having the insurance coverage is great!. What medical info of pain was necessary? Was Doctor Notes and diagnosis sufficient, or you also needed records of other therapy, say physiotherapy? Did you need to spend a lot of this 'mitigation' before being accepted for BR coverage? I am similar to you, getting started now and afraid I need 'to spend more' before I get considered for BR coverage ... thanks for your sharing :) hugs xoxoxo
Thank you!!! I have tricare and they didn't require any prior documentation, so even though I did a month of physical therapy it wasn't necessary. All they needed was my surgeon put together a report of my symptoms, size, and took photos of my boobs and sent that in with a request to remove 320 grams per breast. Honestly from the time I told my doctor I wanted a reduction to approval was about a little over a month, I got lucky and everything was super smooth. It all depends on your specific insurance coverage and requirements, best option is to call your insurance and ask what the requirements are for a reduction!
Mine went off medical necessity only so when they saw my surgeons report and he said my overgrowth of breast tissue was an actual condition paired with my neck, back, shoulder pain and frequent headaches, they approved me. Before I got approved though I honestly thought I would get denied. So it's definitely worth giving a shot, you never know the outcome!!! Goodluck!!! (:
Thank you, I made an appointment October 2019. I told my doctor my pains from my neck and back that I experience. He measured the sag of my breasts and took pictures. The insurance came back and said they had to take a minimum out to cover this procedure. My doctor can't guarantee what size I will be after but at this point I'm ok with it. I have health net hmo if that' helps. It's been a easy process. Please let me know how your process goes?
First.. offense taken, and I think it's kinda rude to comment that. I know all boobs hang but they should not be that saggy on a girl who's never had kids and is only 22. Why comment if you're not going be nice?? Which is ironic cause of your profile name haha.
Second, of course they look high and tight, it was literally 24 hours after surgery...
You clearly have no clue what you're talking about if you think that they are going to look the same in a few years. Go bother some one else lol
I agree . What does she expect first day post op? To me they look great!! I just had my reduction 1/17. I had 218gm and 230gm off the other. Mine are super high and tight. And that’s what I told surgeon . I wanted them up on my chest. I’ll take ”bolted on”vs floppy and droopy . I expect to be a small b.. I’m only 4’10, 120. So I always felt they did not match my frame. Yes they will droop again in a few years but at least they won’t be so heavy and pendulous.
Yes! Thank you!! I am convinced people who comment these things just do it to spite us. Congrats to you and thanks for commenting!
Glad to hear it went well! I hope you are happy w your results.
Thank you! I am! Can't wit for them to heal up but so far I am very happy!! (:
And that's your opinion. You have nothing better to do with your life than make an account to troll people?? Lol
Also wasn't about looks but quality of life and not having pain almost every single day of my life.
Exactly. My reduction was due to having to carry them around. Having to wear a bra so tight just to give support but not being able to breathe. Also not being able to play and jump with my kids without wearing 2 sports bras not to mention clothes that don’t fit right. You look great!
Thank you! It really inhibits daily life activities and the pain is no good either. Thank you!
So true! I hate when my daughter asks me to run or jump with her and I literally can’t without prior planning because my boobs literally will bang me in the chin and hurt as they crash back down! I hate missing out on things due to breasts that are far too large for a body - as per my doctor. How you feel about yourself and quality of life are first & foremost! I can’t wait for my surgery date!!
And you're talking like you had them too? But you don't have any reviews or comments except to harass me? So what is your deal lol. And I did have 30 H cups so way too large for my body which is only 114 pounds and 5'3. Yeah because I have a smaller rib cage means I'm not as big as a 38H but none the less way too big for my body. Get off your high horse and get a life lol. Screw off.
Who the hell are you to give your two cents? Mind your own business punk. She's a beautiful woman who made a decision that is best for HER.
Thank you!! I'm sick of this person. I appreciate it.
Don't need a random person validation on the internet either. Someone with a medical degree and actual common sense (my doctor) told me I was literally the perfect candidate and the kind of person that this surgery was created for. So thanks but no thanks! (: bye
Don't mention it! Definitely much more important things to worry about than that clown...like your recovery and feeling/looking great!
She probably wishes she had big boobs. Unfortunately people will go out of their way to be mean.
It's just so sad that people like that try and bring down others for no reason. Don't need that negativity when I'm focused on healing. I am happy with my results and that's what matters!
Wild! Like I'm all about whatever you want and whatever makes you feel your best do it! Whether is enhancement or reduction!! Let people be happy, not like my decisions effect their lives and vice versa. Appreciate the support. Thank you!
