Final update - year post up

WORTH IT
Here is the final update. See the official photos of my before and after, 1 year appart, taken earlier this year in may. Scars continue to heal and lighten daily. Looking great! And finally started purchasing bras, a bit late on that. But final size is 32D! Previous was 32E sometimes F depending on models.

Overall it was a great experience! Amazing surgeon, so glad I chose him. Amazing recovery, amazing services, more than happy with the result! Would totally do it again :D

Awesome new crate! My year is coming up 11 and I have the same thoughts as you! Amazing surgeon, and ever and amazing healing! I am so happy because I went from a DD down to a B and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!
They look great!
By any chance, can you send a side pic (I'm looking for the part closer to the arm pit). Some doctors leave skin or don't leave it looking natural; your doctor did a phenomenal job! I'm trying to find one for myself as well. Thank you
What kind of scar gel did you use?
I used the Dermatix Ultra. This is what my doctor recommended and had available. Morning and night once I had the ok to start applying. Needed to wait a few weeks for initial wound healing by itself. I religiously applied it for many months.
Nice breast before operating

Hello,
Here is for everybody who wanted an update photo. It’s been about 7 months since the surgery. All is well! I’m pretty much fully healed, the redness from the scars will take time to fade away as i am 22 years old so my skin marks a lot more than more mature skins. And I have a tendency to mark more in general. That said, the result is amazing and beyond my expectations. I really feel good in my body and Dr Ford did an amazing job giving me breasts that match my body. I apply silicone gel less often than i should, i did once daily for few months after the surgery, now I do maybe twice a week. But should be doing it more consistent like my skincare :) Sorry for The messy background! Hope this review helps!!

Thanks for the update - what a fantastic result!!
Wow, you look fantastic!
What size did you end up with?
Dream results!! I’m a similar pre-op size and this is basically my goal post-op. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! My pleasure. This is also my DREAM result. So glad I took the time to search a surgeon with expertise and with the style I liked.
Amazing nipples! ♡ Happy for you!

Tapes are off!
I can begin applying silicone gel daily to help the scars heal good.
Note that the darker areas over the areola is dried blood that was under the tape!
It’s a weird feeling mot having the tapes on. They were sticking very good. But now I can start caring for the scars which is great.
My right breast (left on photos) is still more sensitive and has bruising left (yellow)

Looks so good!
Thank you!
Gorgeous results!
Update. I have booked my Surgery with Dr. Ford on June 4th. I am terrified and keep second guessing myself. I am waking up in the middle of the night so scared. But you are my inspiration! I really hope I can get these results!
This is so exciting! I am private messaging you now!
Hi there, I'm also booked with him next month ...may I ask what did he prescribe you for pain??
One girl said she was only given tylenol 3! And had to ask for something stronger...
Hi Rav, honestly he prescribed tylenol 3, and had an option for opiod which I had him prescribed. But then I was uncomfortable taking opioids. I only went with regular tylenols extra strenght. I took 2 extra strenght every 6 hours. And that did it just fine. Honestly the pain wasnt bad at all, for me at least. And I didn’t want to take any strong drug. Made me nervous. — you can private message me if you have more questions!
Thanks! I'm glad to know the option is there....I'm getting implants with lift. I'm so nervous...how was the anesthesia part for u? Does it burn or hurt going in? Btw ur results are amazing!
Oh! If you’re getting implants, i heard that the pain can be strong compared to reduction (reduction is relatively painless) so definitely discuss with him on your options :). I thought you were getting a reduction like me :P i DONT remember falling asleep— AT ALL!! I was talking with the anesthesist and all of a sudden i woke up in the recovery room! I was kind of confused and was soooo sleepy and eas trying to open my eyes and ask the nurse “its already done?? Did they do the surgery?” So it was no biggy for me. — what it did tho is hurt my throat afterwards. I had dry and painful throat for over a week, i sounded sick. (the big tube they insert to make you breathe during surgery can irritate) and one tooth was hurting. And it eventually went away
Thanks so much!
Looking great-how are the incisions looking now?
Hi Melissa, i have made a new update to the review with a current photo
