Ten Weeks On - Feelibg Fabulous!
DanniDohDahJuly 31, 2016
WORTH IT$10,000
Hi guys, it's been just over ten weeks now since surgery. Life has been business as usual, I've been able to wear underwire bras with minimal discomfort and I've gotten myself back into running again. Everyone still continues to compliment me on how much better my proportions are since the surgery and I'm continuing to buy clothes that no longer make me look far too top heavy. I am still 100% convinced that this was the best decision I have ever made. The scars are improving a lot, keeping up with the massages and silicone strips sure do wonders! I've been fitted and I sit around a 16D/DD. Hope this helps you all :)

Six Weeks Post - clear to do anything!
DanniDohDahJuly 1, 2016
Hi guys, it's been six weeks as of yesterday since I had my breast reduction, time flies when you're having fun! Life has been infinitely better, I cannot begin to explain how much easier everything is. I still wear my surgery bra because it's very comfortable but I also got fitted for a sports bra the other day and I'm easing back into physical activities. I've been keeping up with my silicone strips and massaging the scars every night as told by my surgeon. I am over the moon about how they look and I can't wait to see how much they change in another six weeks. I'm back to full duties at work now and find I can lift almost anything and I even had the pleasure of lying facedown for an hour for a massage without too much discomfort. I had a little trouble with my right breast closing up at the T incision but with time and persistence it's fixed itself up. Everyone is constantly commenting on how much better I look with my body in correct proportions and how it's helped my posture out. If you have any questions feel free to keep inboxing me or comment below.

What size are you?
July 2, 2016
The sports bra I got was a 16E but I haven't been properly fitted for everyday bras yet. I've tried on some of my mothers D and DD bras and they fit quite well. It'd vary store to store is imagine.

Thank you for sharing your journey , I am booked in on Tuesday to go the other way.
I am a Transwoman , and although I transitioned at a late age I do have quite a bit of breast growth but probably not quite enough, I have been on hormones for six years. It's scary because I don't want to ruin what I already have. I I don't know if my breasts are scared too , because every time I look at them they seem to have grown as a protest :0) .

Hi, wow you look great :)
Thanks for sharing your story.
I'm in the process of choosing a surgeon in Sydney. I will definitely be checking out Dr Hunt!
July 25, 2016
He's a fantastic surgeon! I'll post some more photos soon, it's been a month since my last update and they're even better still! If you have any questions feel free to inbox me :)

Thank you, that's so nice of you. I have already had one consult so want to be fairly sure I will go ahead with the Dr I choose as next consult as it is too expensive! How much was your consult? They are all around the $250-$300 mark I've noticed.
July 25, 2016
I can't remember the exactly figure but it was around the $200 mark. That's why this website is very helpful because it gives you surgeons reviews so you're not tossing money away for no reason without a little research. You obviously get shown photos of their work in the consultation, but to get first hand accounts from unbiased women is helpful aswell.

Week and a Half Post - DRESSINGS OFF!
DanniDohDahMay 30, 2016
I had my dressings removed today and I was amazed by the results! I have perky boobs! They're still slightly boxy on the sides but that's expected to go away once my swelling eases off. It was a bit painful to get all of the dressings off and with a few sly stitches it made me wince but it was over and done with fairly quickly! I have to tape my incisions now for a few weeks before moving onto my silicone scar strips during mid June. I'm off all of my drugs now and get by with the odd painkillers if I struggle. They're starting to feel "real" again, they're a lot less hard. I've put a few photos in now that my boobs are far more aesthetically appealing without the old dressings. Enjoy guys x

The results look great. You are a big encouragement to me

I'm more than happy to answer any questions or offer advice if you'd need it :)

Wow!!! They look awesome I'm seriously looking at having a reduction done and I have had Dr Heremy Hunt as my first preference for the surgeon after seeing your results, that's it!! my mind is made up. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and I really hope that you are happy and yo can continue to live your life in a way that you feel comfortable. Can I ask how much it cost you? I am estimating $10000 with health insurance? Would this be about right?
June 30, 2016
Yes, it cost my $10,000 but I got about two grand back with Medicare and my private health insurance. Expensive but well worth it is an understatement! Best decision I have ever made, I have zero regrets.

What kind of tape is that on your breast?

Did you get any rebate through Medicare at all and how much for the operation??
