It's 3 days post surgery with Dr. Bednar and while it's still early I'm confident and happy with the results. Everybody at Dr. Bednars' office was incredibly sweet and friendly - going out of their way to make sure I was comfortable in my hotel room and I was enjoying my time in town.

As for the surgery itself I don't remember much due the anesthesia which knocked me out for most of the day. The day of the surgery I felt some pain in my liposuction areas - thighs an love handles - but by the next day the pain went down to a sore feeling.

As for my stats I'm 5'8 and 113 lbs. Dr. Bednar took out fat from my inner and outer thighs as well as love handles and placed 430 cc into each breast. I'm currently still swollen in my photos but hopefully my breasts will reduce to 60% of their current size. My pre-surgery size was 32C 31-24-36 and I'll take new measurements in a week when the swelling has gone down.

You look great! I'm 11 days out from dr Bednar and I'm super impressed by his work! Hoping of this detention for nth of us!
November 18, 2014
Sorry: that last sentence flew out and sent before I could correct it. *hoping great retention for the both of us!
November 18, 2014
I have my post surgery consultation on Wednesday so I will get a better idea of how much I will retain. I'm hoping to keep about 60-70% which seems standard for his patients. And I'm impressed to finally have cleavage!
November 18, 2014
I know! After I nursed, ALL sense of cleavage was gone. I'm going to be rocking American apparel v necks from here on out! ;)
November 18, 2014
Hi you look great. Looks like a great result. Good Luck and best retention wishes. Did you use the Brava?
November 18, 2014
Thank you and nope.
November 18, 2014
Wow. that's great. Can I ask please did Dr Bednar not think you needed it or did you decide not to use it?
November 18, 2014
No. I nursed my son for over a year which created the "pocket" Dr Bednar needed.
November 18, 2014
Sorry, that wasn't directed at me. :)
November 18, 2014
Hi, that's OK. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. It has been 2 days now LOL :) Hope you are OK. xox
November 18, 2014
He never brought it up. I would ask him if you would need it for your procedure.
November 19, 2014
OK thanks. That was good for you. I am thinking I might not need it then but I would ask. He got quite a lot of fat out considering you were quite lean by the photos and 430c sounds incredible. Looks like a great result. He seems to be a very skilled surgeon at this. Dr B. would be my pick. Can't wait for more updates. Has it been very painful? Best wishes x
November 19, 2014
Yeah I'm pretty happy. I had several doctors say I didn't have enough fat to remove which I knew simply wasn't true. 430cc is actually on the smaller end, looking at other RealSelf reviews it looks like Bednar usually puts in more. But since my build is so small 430cc looks very large on me. I'll update tomorrow after I visit Dr. Bednar for my post op and sometime next week when my swelling is gone. As for the pain it was bad the first couple hours after surgery but I slept through it. The day after I was incredibly sore, 4 days after the surgery and I only feel a little sore around my thighs if I'm in one position for too long. That being said I have a pretty high pain tolerance.
November 19, 2014
Hi, Thanks for reply. Glad you have tolerated things well. Look forward to your update after Dr B's visit. Also look forward to more pics. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Really appreciate it.You are looking great. xox

Congratulations! We'll be anxious to hear how your appointment goes tomorrow. You look great!

I've never had cleavage - my rib cage tilts in too much so my breasts are angled to the side. In fact push up bras weren't able to give me cleavage before. But now I'm looking forward to showing off my new cleavage with and without a bra (;
November 18, 2014
Hell yeah!

After yur breast surgery with yur body fat, will yur breasts stay the way they look now? Or will body absorb from yur breast later? May I ask the approx cost of this? Thank yu
November 19, 2014
They will go down in size. The body absorbs some of the fat. I paid $10,500.

Post Surgery Consultation

Met with Dr. Bednar to see how things were progressing. I still have some swelling but I can already tell a huge difference , especially around my waist. The upper part of my breasts are more swollen than the lower part which is slightly smaller. Dr. Bednar stated that I still have some swelling but my breasts are pretty soft and he is confident that I would retain about 70-80%.

At the moment I'm still very happy. Hoping my final size to be 60% of this current size.

Hi, my surgery is with Dr. Bednar in exactly a month. I'm getting the same areas liposuctioned. How is the scarring (not including the bruising)? Is it inconspicuous? Were you on meds for a while/are you still taking something for the pain?
November 21, 2014
It's been 6 days since my surgery so I can't answer the question regarding scarring. excluding the two incisions on my back the other spots are well hidden. I have pain medication but I haven't taken one.
