I initially wasn't going to post anything but finally decided to because reading the posts of those who previously had the surgey done gave me so much confidence going into the procedure. For as long as I can remember I have had large breasts, by the time I was 23 years old I was a 36HH. Since then I have lost 20 pounds but nothing from breasts, so I finally decided to get a breast reduction. I had recently changed insurance companies and this one (qualcare) did not have has many hoops to jump through to get approved. My plastic surgeon took pictures to prove I had permanent indents in my shoulders and wrote a letter that he would definitely take out 350cc from each breast (he wound up taking out 850cc from the left and 875cc from the right); I was approved for the procedure the next day! I had my procedure scheduled for 3 weeks later. On the day of the surgery I was so nervous but excited at the same time. The procedure took 3 and a half hours and when I came out I was in pain but felt pretty good; I went home an hour later. 2 days later I went for my first post op appointment and had the bandages romoved, I remeber looking at them and thinking they were so amazing. By 5 days post op I stopped taking pain medication and was able to do a lot more. It is now 3 weeks post op and all my sutures are out and I started putting scargaurd MD on my scars (started that 2 weeks post op)! Last night I did have one of the internal dissolving sutures pop through just under my right nipple but I went to my plastic surgeons office first thing this morning and he cut it flush to the skin, so it was no big deal! I also went coat shopping today and was able to buy 2 coats with no problems. (I haven't had a proper fitting coat in years, I almost cried I was so happy!) So all in all I'm feeling great and it is definitely the best decision I have made! I will definitely post and update but I just wanted to let everyone know if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Hey, I'm pretty sure he excepts majority of insurances and his office staff is very knowledgeable about working with insurance companies!
