90 day Post Op for breast reduction, neck lift, liposuction abs and flanks and Emsculpt
WORTH IT
Today makes 90 days since my surgery and boy it’s been a roller coaster emotionally and physically. My scars are healing well but my back is still sensitive to touch and laying on it too long. I’m still wearing my garment at night because I feel better with it on. My left side of my neck is still swollen and tight but I see lots of progress.
Some days I’m on top the world and feel great and other days I look in the mirror and I’m still not happy. COVID19 has really added to my anxiety. At first it was ok because I was still recuperating and needed to be in the house and rest but now I’m ready to get to the gym and work out because I’m scared I will put on weight. I have tried the home workouts but they are not for me. The Emsculpt that I had done at my 30 day post op and I definitely have ab muscles I just need to work harder to define them.
I weighed myself and I’m still at the same weight I was before the surgery. I know that lipo is more of a body sculpting technique and I see that when I look in the mirror sometimes but still wish I could lose 20 pounds. I feel like my hips and thighs have grown two folds since my surgery but I’m told that due to my waist sculpting my thighs are more prevalent.
I have started wearing a smaller garment but its uncomfortable and I’m fearful that it will cause bulges and scars and ruin the smoothness. I’m using Embrace for my breast scars and silicone scar treatment for all the other scars from tape and bandages. It’s a slow process and I’m trying to be patient.
Blessings to all!!

Before Pictures!
It’s very hard to look at my before pictures because I hated the way I looked in and out my clothes. I always felt like I was being stared at with my 40DD. Having a breast reduction has lifted my self confidence.

Hello. I think you look amazing! I’m so nervous about getting a breast reduction/lift. I’m 55 and since I was in 2 grade I have had large breast. I was teased and bullied throughout my school years and still to this day I hear remarks about the girls :(. I have such big indents on my shoulders and have had many back problems. The weight is so unbearable, I have got to do something. I had lower back surgery and I have to have another one later this year. I just had anterior Cervical disc fusion in my neck...3 days post-op! Hoping I can get the breast reduction sometime this fall. I live in Iowa so I have to find a reputable plastic surgeon near me. I wish you well and good health
Best wishes!! Please do your research on finding a great doctor that understands what your going through, what you want afterwards and has great bed side manner. I also have indents and brown spots from the bras. I hated my breast and the more weight I gained the bigger my breast got but when I lost weight they never got smaller. I hate that I waited until I was 52 but I feel wonderful, the heaviness from my breast is gone and my confidence is raising daily. I can’t wait to return to work to really see people’s reactions.
Take care and please let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the response. Hope your feeling better from your surgery. Will keep you in my prayers. You have a lot going on but I do understand about being bullied, the indents, and being uncomfortable. My self confidence has always been low but since my surgery I feel better in my clothes and don’t feel like I’m being looked at because of my chest.
I hope you can have the surgery soon so that at least your body will feel better. Just remember take one day at a time and you will get there.
Take care.

I agree!! You look great!! At age of 61, I had a breast reduction. And, I could not be happier!!! My back doesn’t hurt and I don’t have indents on my shoulders. I was a 38 F and now I’m a 36 C. I would advise anyone to look into it!!
Congrats I can relate.. so happy for you.
This is really encouraging me that i could actually have normal looking breasts like yours. Thank you so much for sharing. Brought me to tears and gives me hope.
If you have the opportunity to do it I suggest you do because I feel really great about myself.
You look so good. Thank you for sharing your journey. Can you tell me .what was the cost for everything?
Thank you.. $26,500
Thank you! For your response. Wish you the best. And Take Care God Bless
My pleasure.... take care and good luck to you.

45 and 60 Day Check in
I have completed the 4 session Emsculpt which was a little difficult since my surgery was just a month ago so still tender. I started off at 67% and by the 3rd session I was at 100%.
My neck is still tight and sleeping on my left side is uncomfortable. I am not feeling comfortable with showing my neck to anyone other than family so for my first day back to work I wore a turtleneck and will do that until the swelling goes down.
My back is still sensitive. I occasionally have sharp shooting pain in my breast but it’s manageable.
