I've always been a big chested girl. In high school I wore 2 bras in gym class and to play on the tennis team. I'm currently 5' 7" & 175 pounds and wear a 38G and still pop out a bit. I have 2 kids and have had a tubal, so no concerns about breastfeeding for me. I work as a nurse and the pain when I get off a 12 hour shift is just awful! I had my initial consultation in November and had scheduled surgery in January. Unfortunately, the office required my deductible and payment for liposuction prior to surgery and it wasn't feasible at the time. The doctor said liposuction was not required but I would be happier with the looks. It cost $1800, and I decided to do it. I had pre testing done a week prior due to my hypothyroidism. An EKG & some blood work was done. Everything checked out and my surgery was 730am 3/1/16. I am currently in the hospital for an overnight observation. I've got drains in but they will come out at discharge. So far the pain has been more than I was anticipating. Everything I read said the areas of liposuction were the worst... They were right! Under my breasts burns a little, especially where I'm guessing the tubes are at. However, I can already tell my upper back is less sore and I don't feel like I have a sack of watermelons hanging off the front of me! haha. More updates and pics when I can.

I am a 34FF and am currently going to have thottam do my reduction too. should I kennel my dog who keeps me busy and rent a recliner chair? Do you think I can go back to work after 3 weeks? Was the extra 1800mfor lipo worth it? What should I know. Im scared of Pain Too.

Sides hurt the worst from liposuction, otherwise ok.

I had my breast reduction with lipo done by Dr. Thottam in October. The lipo areas were definitely the most painful. They took several weeks to feel nearly normal. I love my results now, though. I was a 40 g now with weight loss 38 C!

I was actually going to call the office today. I'm 6 days post op and still really tender on my sides. I noticed this morning my sides have a big lump that is numb on top but feel like a giant bruise underneath. It's not the side of my breast but beside it, along where the bra strap sits. Is this normal to still be so sore and lumpy and what can I do about it? Any advice?

My soreness lasted around six weeks where the lipo was. I just kept ice packs on it and took Advil at night in order to sleep. It will get better , just takes longer than they tell you.

feeling a little better today, still hurts to reposition though. Got some pictures of the bruising from where he performed the lipo. I can already tell my upper back doesn't burn. Already feeling some relief. So far so good
