Wow, didn't that seem to come fast? Your results are superb. Thanks for the update!
Congrats! Enjoy your new life
They look great. What cup size did you start with and end up with? Dr Hartmann did mine three weeks ago and I'm pretty darn happy.
Hi! I was at a 36G or H, depending on brand. I am now at a 32C or 34B =) I hope your recovery goes well!
Beautiful results! I bet you are so relieved. In fact, can you tell us in what ways the surgery has impacted your life? I'm scheduled 7/17/17.
Incredible work from that surgeon. I think yours are the finest example of reduced breasts I’ve seen. Shape, size, nipple size & position and particularly minimal scarring is all perfection

Eight months post-op

Everything they tell you about this procedure being life changing is true. The weight off my shoulders, being comfortable all day in my clothes, and being looked in the eye regularly has changed the way I navigate through the world. Everything has healed beautifully.

Looks great! Thank you for sharing your experience:)
Thanks for the update. So happy that everything is going well!
Wow, 8 months. I am 9 weeks, and still sore a lot. And still get hard throughout the day. I am hoping that ends. My challenge is that I broke my left shoulder 2 years ago, and wearing any bra strap, even with size B boobs (down from a G), hurts like crazy. But, it doesn't seem my boobs are comfortable in just a tank top. So I wait. I must have sensitive nerve reactions, because I feel these boobs all the time, like they are still very much in the recovery process.
Perfection! :)

One month (4.5 weeks) update

It has been a month since my surgery and I am loving life. My breasts are starting to soften, and I can feel the muscles in my upper back and neck starting to relax. I didn't know how much I was hurting everyday! It isn't normal to feel like your shoulders are on fire after a 10 hour day in a bra!

They look great! Healed really nicely
Neat, clean sutures. Your PS is very tidy ;-)
Have you been using any type of scar treatment?
Just this week, at the 4 week mark, I started using coconut oil.
Oh nice. Coconut oil is a charm.
Ummm, WOW! You look fantastic! Your PS was definitely an artist, right down to the areola being centered on the nipple! I would be thrilled to have results the same as yours! Your scars look amazing and if that's how they were healing with no help, I can only imagine what the coconut oil will help with the little you have left! I hope you are as happy as how great as the new girls look! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Dr. Hartmann is a all around fantastic doctor!
It definitely shows! She has a gentle touch by the looks of your scars and she is an artist, to say the least! Congrats!
Thanks so much for these updates. I met with Dr. Hartmann this afternoon for an initial consult and trusted her implicitly, great to see how good her work really is. Congratulations!
Wonderful! I am so happy for you!
