WORTH IT

I have had huge breast since i was 12/13 years old. I am a mother of four and that made them bigger. I am 4'11 with 36 G/H BREAST AND WANT THEM DOWN TO A B CUP. I finally have insurance that can n help pay. Not quite sure the total amount but all i paid out of pocket was $859.

My surgery is scheduled in eight days and I'm excited, nervous, anxious, and ready all in one.

I am so happy for you! I had this done 16 years ago and I went from a DD to a large A small B. I was so happy and never looked back! My doctor did an amazing job and funny thing was, I felt and looked sexier with smaller breasts. I enjoyed them for as long as they lasted. I am now going in for my second breast reduction. With all the processed foods I ate and then medication later after I had my second child-post pardum depression required meds that screwed up my hormones-my breasts grew back! Just like before I had my first reduction, everyone thinks my breasts are fake because they are actually higher up and perky and do not sag. Lucky me I know, but that doesn't mean they don't still weigh a ton! So I know your pain and I support you in this endeavor. You will be happy with your new breasts I am sure. I hope you have excellent results. Please write back and tell us about your surgical experience and your recovery period! You will look and feel amazing! I am so happy for you!

I felt the same way before my surgery. Dr Steele is my PS too. I will be 7 wks post op tomorrow. My procedure went great, no complications. He did an amazing job. He is an excellent surgeon and will take very good care of you. His nurse, Stacy, is the absolute best!! Just follow their instructions and you will do great!

~Aww, I hope that everything went well for you! I'm in the same boat :( I'm only 4'11" too and mine are 40DD. They make my shoulder hurt and it's hard to exercise. I wish that I could be in your shoes right now. Congrats and feel better soon!

What did your surgeon say about a B cup? I just had my consultation yesterday and my PS told me he could probably only get me down to a D. Maybe a C. I was hoping for a B cup too but he said he can't take out too much tissue or it would compromise blood flow to the nipple. I'm a little bummed but I guess even a C or D is better than the G/H I am now. Meh.

He said the same he will try a B but I will most likely be a C because of nipple sensation. I like i dont need or care for nipple sensation. I do know that i will most likely grow some bck so thats why I wanted to be a small as possible. It is def better than being so big but I will let you know how it all goes and will def show them off. two days away and I cant wait.

Follow all Dr Steele's pre and post op instructions to a "t". Make sure you wear whatever he gives you to wear after surgery. Keep tension off your incision. Stacy, his nurse, will answer any questions you have. I have called her countless times and she either answers her own phone (yay!!), or leave her a voice mail and she calls you right back. I called her a couple days before my surgery because I was having a "omg what am I doing" moment... I was completely honest about how I felt, she put me right at ease. make sure after your surgery you rest, don't rush to do too much. Let your body take time to heal. I'm so excited for you!!!! Oh, as far as your incision/scar, he will have stuff on there after surgery so you won't need anything for several weeks after. At your post op appt, they will give you scar treatment instructions.

I told Stacy, his nurse, the same thing and she said she would rather get a phone call than me to try to figure it out on my own. She said that's what she's there for! Dr Steele and his staff are wonderful. They want us to have the absolute best outcome as much as we do and are there to help and answer all our questions.

I have some updating I will do lter. I was almost at my sx day. I have had phone calls from the surgery center and their nurse and it has made this even more real. I cant believe after all this time its finally happening. I have bought products to help reduce swelling and bruising. I ask for prayers that everything goes well. Thank you

Bromelain, such as that which is found in yellow fruits and vegetables, is excellent at helping with inflammation. Be sure to ice things to prevent further swelling and bruising but not for more than 15 minutes at a time. This is a wonderful journey for you and I am also excited because it will be my second reduction! So I know what you are embarking on. You will do great and things will be wonderful! I am so happy for you!
