- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Almost TWO (2) Yrs.. 23 Mnths Post Op.... BR... and STILL NO BRA!!!! YEAHHHHH!!!!!
They are now a large C but I LOVE THEM. I am Hoping and Praying they do not go back to their original size. I am now losing weight and plan on NOT gaining so hopefully menopause doesn't take me back to where I came from. But right now I am STILL happy.

Two (2) Yrs Post Op from BR .... and now thinking of TT around springtime 2015
Hello RealSelf family!!!!..... It's been a while. I am now about 2yrs post op from my breast reduction. I must say I have noticed I have gotten larger since. I'd say I was a real "C" after surgery, and now I'll say I'm a large C. Those things under my arm pits/dog ears/whatever they are called are still there. Strangely enough I don't recall them being there until after the lipo.
My fear is that I've read where a couple people say they've increased in size and go back to their original size after gaining weight and/or going thru menopause. I did gain about 10lbs and now losing again, but I am also going thru menopause right now so I can only HOPE & PRAY it doesn't all come back.
If anyone has experienced this, I would really love to get some feedback.
I will also take some new updated photos to share. I must say I am still quite happy with my size. I'd say right now I'm about a large C to small D. Depending on the bra I'm wearing also. But I will get some new photos soon. Thanks everyone. Happy Holidays... Mrs J.

Hello Everyone.... I'm now 1 month Post Op......
Hello Everyone.... I'm now 1 month Post Op... feeling great.. back to work. By Friday I was feeling some pain on left side of breast/under arm jowls... could not put my arm down completely.. so I guess it may have been from the week of driving/train rides/walking etc.. so I will be resting a bit this weekend.
I have tried to reply to all the comments several times and it never seems to get carried over to this page... not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Iowa71...Thanks!!!!.... can you explain "zingers" for me? are those the sharp pains/cramps in the breasts as they heal/reconnect?... any how long did it take for those swollen/painfull jowls/under the arm to go away for you? I am going on a cruise/vacation 10/7 and so Dr said by then I can lift my carry-on but she wants me to ask someone on the plane to lift it up into the overhead. I just hope by then I will be able to wear regular bra.
Symone75.....Hi,Thank you. My right nipple is settling down some. Still waiting for everything to be a bit more relaxed as you mentioned.
Kimberly216... Hello... You will be sooo happy. I am very happy I did it. I just can't even find the words the explain how happy I really am. My clothing fits sooooo much better. Even jewelry that would sit ON TOP of my chest now just lays flat the way they are supposed to be.,,, and not to mention how my new tops fits perfectly. I LOVE IT. Best of Luck/Wishes. You Will Be Great!!!!
Alicia.... Thank you and you're welcome : )

Wouldn't trade her in for any other PS. I plan on having TT in approx 6 months, and will definitely return to Dr Criswell in Ballantyne, and Charlotte, NC.
