WORTH IT
I went in yesterday for a breast reduction . I am 35 and my second pregnancy just did a number on my boob's. Until about two days ago, I was wearing a 38H which if fitted properly probably should have been a 38I. Dr Nalani is amazing and his bed side manner is like no other. I was in pre-op waiting on him to come in and was just sobbing to my husband. Between the nerves and not getting to hold my 6 month old baby for weeks coming up just got the better of me. When Dr Nakano came in, just the tone of his voice and calming nature was enough to relax me and put my full faith and trust in him and was ready to go. I am only one day post op and haven't really seen the final result yet, but I can tell you that I am surprised there is not more pain and that I feel as good as I do. All of the nurses also reassured me of how great his work is. I can't wait to buy some smaller tops and wear only one sports bra to the gym instead of three! I also can't wait to feel the relief on my neck and back. It's amazing what four lbs off your chest can feel and look like! My guess is that I am now somewhere between a C-D. And I am totally OK with that! Thank you Dr N. I would highly recommend him!

Thank you! I'm about the same size. Not to get to personal, but did you have the surgery or liposuction? I need to have a breast reduction too.

I didn't have any lips. Just the reduction and lift. Correction to my original post, the doctor was Dr. Nakano, not nalani

Thanks for writing back. I'm starting this road. I'm exactly the same size except I weigh more. Trying to find a doctor who will accept me.

I can't wait for my post op visit on 9/8. That's when he will take out my drains and I will actually get to see my chest! I'm so exited and surprised that recovery has been so easy. Never had much pain and my drainage is already decreasing at 4 days post op. Wish me luck. I will post pics once I get to really see them next week.

Currently 4 wks post op

Currently I am 4 weeks post op and so incredibly happy about my decision to get the BR. I went from an H/I to probably a C/D. Totally happy and feel no tension or pain in my neck, shoulders or back since surgery. Here a few updated photos. The only thing that has not been positive about the surgery is one very slow healing boob. So my pics are really only showing the good one. The other one is not so pretty yet and is still bandaged.
