I have had large pendulous breasts since high school and I wanted a reduction and lift for half of my life.
After discussing breast reduction with my OB/GYN, she recommended that I see Dr. Stagnone for a consultation.
Feeling fully confident, we scheduled breast reduction/lift surgery to be done on November 30, 2011. I found out that I was pregnant November 5, 2011. ????
Needless to say, the surgery had to be put on the back burner. Now that my little game changer is four years old, now is the time to move forward with the procedure.

I had a pregnancy scare this month! I was so worried I'd not be able to have my breast reduction, and also worried I'd have my boobs get so much bigger

My boobs definitely got even bigger after having my daughter, and breastfeeding.

What size did you start at and go down to?

38 g-h to 38dd. Started off with R way larger than L and now L, slightly larger than R; but they are 100x better than they were. The doc told me that perfect asymmetry would be hard to achieve, especially since I had two completely different breasts before.

Went in for 1 wk check. Removed sutures around areola and steri-strips. The steri-strips were causing blisters to form, especially around the T incision on bottom of left breast. It felt so good to get those itchy strips off.
Nurse called in topical and oral antibiotics, just to be on the safe side.
Still swollen, right more than left. Still feeling very tight, especially the long incision on bottom.
Overall, extremely satisfied. This discomfort is worth the end result.

Hi!! How did your surgery go? Definitely take it easy, follow the post surgical instructions of your PS, and listen to your body. Relax and rest, and let somebody care for you for the next few days...

Surgery went well. I'm resting and trying to let others help. Doc gave me percocet ND it made me sick, so I switched to just Tylenol every 4 hrs

I drove my family to the grocery on Sunday, (Nov 27th, day 6), just to get a feel for it. My husband headed out of town early Monday morning so, Monday I dropped the kiddo at preK and headed to my check up.
I did ok, but had some discomfort on turns.
Today (Wednesday), I'm feeling much better! The drive to preK was much easier and I'm feeling more comfortable and confident! Not ready for any major road trips, but maybe a Christmas shopping day is in the forecast??
