Breast Reduction
$8,699
Over the last 5 years, I gained some weight, in which I believe about 75% of it went straight to my breast. In 2019, I started considering a breast reduction and I joined RealSelf. Last year in March is when I got serious about it and decided to start my paper trail of back complaints and digging straps in my shoulders with my primary care physician. My bra size was a 38F.My physician finally gave me a referral to see a PS, but... due to COVID, I needed a letter of medical necessity to be seen and my physician didn't want to give me one just yet. In March of this year I decided to just pay for my surgery on my own and I began consulting with Plastic Surgeons. I went on 2 consultations before choosing a doctor. The first consultation was a male doctor and he suggested a breast reduction, lift and liposuction to my side boob area.The second consultation was a woman and she didn't think the liposuction to the side boob area was necessary due to the type of breast reduction that was recommended to me. She was also very warm and welcoming and I felt most comfortable with her. Her reviews were great and so was her work. I also preferred a woman surgeon, so I chose her. My surgery was scheduled for June 2, 2021. On my surgery day, everything went pretty quick.I've never had any surgeries before, never been put on anesthesia or anything and I was a little nervous at the thought of being put to sleep but the staff was great, They made me feel so comfortable. The last thing I remember before going under was the conversation me and the anesthesiologist had about my career choice. It felt like I was in surgery for a few seconds and I was up and in a chair after. I was in a little pain or discomfort.But honestly, it wasn't as bad as I had imagined it to be. I went home the same day and started my pain meds immediately and I was fine. The biggest issue I had was sleeping on my back. I just couldn't get comfortable at all because I'm a side-sleeper. Other than that everything was great. I was sore but that wasn't a big deal for me. I am now 3 weeks and 2 days post-op and I feel pretty good. I seen my doctor yesterday and I'm healing great.No busted sutures or open wounds! (which is something I tried very hard to avoid) I can now start applying the silicone scar gel to help with the scarring, which I bought from my doctor. I'm very satisfied with my results. I initially thought I was too small, but my breast are changing daily and they look better and better each day. I know I still got ways to go, but I am truly satisfied with my results and I feel liberated!

Breast reduction (Updated)
My pictures were not clear and I didn't know how to go in and fix them, so I'm re-uploading my review with better pics. This review will be brief but you can go look at my previous review for more details.
My Breast Reduction was done on June 2nd of 2021. I was initially a 38F and now I am 3 weeks and a few days post-op. My breast are still in recovery, so I'm not sure what my current size is.
I added better photos of my breast before and after surgery.

11 weeks and 1 day post- op
My incisions are now fully healed. I want to say my incisions had completely closed around week 4 or 5, although I still had some swelling and discomfort in my breast. Now, I am completely healed and I have began sleeping on my side, which I was able to do about 4 weeks ago. I’m using a silicon scar gel for my scars and have been using it for about 8 weeks now. My breast are still settling and I’m starting to love them even more. I’m happy with my decision.
My last update will be at 6 months, just to give you guys an idea of what your breast will look like and how they’ll change over time.

You look amazing! I love her work! I'm going to the same doctor on December 8th to get a reduction and tummy tuck. She's so nice and answers any and all questions. Glad you're doing well. Could I ask, how long do you think it would take to exercise after this surgery?
