Hey how did you get the tape off your nipple area I’m 12 days in and I’m scared to take it off

I’m so happy with the results! I can wear whatever I want and I’m amazed that I can go bra-less if I want to and they stay perky.

I had my reduction with Dr. Tuma on 11/30/20. It was deemed medically necessary and funded by insurance. I'm not sure what the actual cost is. My experience was amazing. I had very little pain and he didn't use drains. I went from a 36 F to a 36 large C/ small D. I have nipple sensation in one breast so far but it's only been 3 days...I'll give it time.

Wow your BR looks great! Such a nice new size. When I had my BL/BA the nipple sensation would come and go then it finally regulated about 1 ypo. Thanks for sharing your journey with us on RS! Happy continued healing dear.

Hi! Your BR look really good so far. Did you get to pick a size? I want a C cup, starting at a 36G/H

I didn't really. For insurance to cover it i had to have 482 grams removed from each breast. Dr. Tuma suggested that I remove more tissue to be proportional to my frame. It also helps to prolong the inevitable sag that will come with age. When are you getting yours done?

Thank you! So far it's been pretty easy. I've only taken Tylenol and Arnica for pain and swelling relief.

I see you had the lollipop method. Do you have sensation in your breast again?

It's not the same level of sensitivity pre-surgery at all, but I do have a little. My scars healed nicely so that was a plus.
