oh hi, i'm so sorry i didn't see your question sooner. Dr. Glickman is really wonderful, I think he takes careful consideration with his patients needs, and it doesn't take him long to tell you what he recommends because he has a lot of experience, and really knows the deal. I should have listened to him when he said to go with the 300cc because the 350's are well kind of big on me to carry around on a daily basis, especially in a bathing suit, which i recently experienced for the first time... Mine for some reason seem to have gotten bigger and not smaller with time as I've heard some women report. I am happy with my results. I have certain things that i am like not 100% happy with still but all of those are the things that one has to be realistic about, like your own anatomy, etc... I am really glad that he didn't recommend that i get a lift or go sub muscular because for me personally i think the lift would have been too traumatizing. This was my first surgery ever and I am really glad that he just did what he did, I am fine with it if i have to go get a lift or do whatever in the future. I don't know if most people prefer it, but i personally greatly appreciate his conservative approach.

Thank you for your reply! I actually have my surgery scheduled with a Dr in stony brook who has a conservative approach also which is want I want. I had a few questions for Dr Glickman, emailed his assistant and never heard back. I'm a very nervous person so I want any questions i have answered. That kind of turned me off. So we shall see how this goes! Lol. Very nervous!

Are you going to Dr. Epstein? I really wanted to go for a consult with him but he is sort of far from where I live. I know that's a stupid reason but I liked being just a short drive from my surgeons office... Anyway, I've heard great things about Dr. Epstien, good luck with your surgery! Oh and I am surprised they didn't email you back. Was it the patient coordinator, Stephanie? She always emailed me back very promptly, I'm really surprised to hear they didn't get back to you. But I did notice some of the people who worked there were so nice and so helpful and others well it was pretty obvious they really didn't care. And I totally hear you, I am a very nervous person as well, which is why I really appreciated Dr. G's conservative approach. Anyway, good luck! Take care:)

Yes dr Epstein! He's only 20 mins from me ( I thought further when I heard Stony Brook lol). I go for my preop tomm. I def liked Dr G but his schedule wasn't working for me. He's going to Isreal for 2 weeks and I didn't want to wait until he comes back bc I have my sisters wedding coming up. You look great BTW!

Is "boobie blues" a real thing?

User Avatar
merryberry203
Was wondering about "boobie blues" because I think I am experiencing that. I think it really hit me hard last night. So I have been losing my patience with the burning pain and hyper-sensitivity on my left side. I thought I felt okay yesterday during the day but then when I went to pick my daughter up from school the pain just started to really get on my nerves and i felt very agitated, So anyway I picked her up from school got her something to eat and then drove her to her tutor which took forever even though its not so far away, but Long island traffic is absolutely killer sometimes. So we finally got there and I brought her in and said goodbye and I proceeded to drive back home to prepare dinner. Upon arriving at home i was completely and totally exhausted and i felt totally useless and like such a weakling that the mere act of driving could take so much out of me and cause so much pain. I proceeded to look in the mirror at my boobs and just started HYSTERICALLY CRYING. I did not even feel it coming but as i looked at them in the mirror I was hit by a wave of grief, because the one that is bothering me looks so much bigger than the other other one, and even though my doctor checked it out and said it was normal to heal at different speeds I was just feeling like what have In done? I was just crying and crying and crying and then i laid down in my bed and i never prepared dinner. When i finally got up and stopped crying, the pain had temporarily subsided, which seemed weird to me but maybe the crying allowed me to let go of some of the tension that was causing the pain. Anyway, the rest of the night went ok, i made dinner eventually, helped my daughter with homework, did some laundry and such. I had a hard time finding something comfortable to sleep in because the fabric rubbing against my left boob is causing so much sensitivity and irritation. I'm just starting to feel like its always gonna feel like this, I know i have to stay positive and be patient but when it hurts to wear clothes its hard to function...

Keep your head up girl, I'm so sorry to hear your feeling like this (Im trying not to get discouraged myself). A friend of mine had a BA about 6 months ago said she went through a rough patch of pain and boob envy a week or 2 after her surgery. One of her incisions ended up getting bubbled too. She still experiences high sensitivity in one of her nipples but she's overall happy with her decision. Tomorrow is a new day, I hope your boobie blues go away!

I keep getting this sensation in my right breast like it's going to fall out through the incision it's so uncomfortable :/

I hear you girl, there are definitely a lot of strange and uncomfortable sensations during the healing process, but hang in there it will pass. I'm still annoyed because my right one feels better, it feel like its already made a full recovery but my left one still has burning pain that starts on my sternum and radiates across the top of left boob and it is constant... I'm going back to ps on monday, maybe he can tell me what the deal is but i'm sure he will just tell me to be patient... lol.

I think your breasts look wonderful, and your review was helpful to me. I think we all expect that we will have the easiest recoveries, and it's good to know that there's a real range of recovery experiences. Hang in there--you look amazing.

Thank you! I really was feeling extremely blue there for awhile. I had anticipated a very easy recovery but that was not the case for me, everybody's different I guess. I was not prepared for it, but feeling better now. not 100%, but better-ish:-) Anyway, good luck to you with your surgical endeavors!

You look great. Did you have to do breast mammogram before the surgery?
User Avatar
January 8, 2016
Thank you. Yes I had to go for a mammogram, and then because apparently I have "dense breasts" I had to go back for another 3D mammogram and an ultrasound. It was annoying but I guess it's just part of the process.

Ok thank you for your reply. Good luck to you.
