WORTH IT$7,600
I have hated my breasts for as long as I can remember and after my son was born my 36 C breasts grew into a pair of 38 triple D/E's. Since November 20 I have lost 30 lbs so was truly ready for this transformation. I am 5 feet 9 and 145 lbs. For personal reasons I actually decided to do one breast at a time which I know is unique. This worked very well for me and was a good choice.

Hi,
Just some more information for you ladies thinking of having a breast reduction. I did my left breast on June 27th 2014 and my right on Aug 13 2014. The first/left breast was larger then the right and I told Dr. A I would like to have a large C, small D and a nice lift. My first surgery went very smoothly and I made sure that along with propofol the anesthetist also gave me zofran for nausea while I was asleep. I woke up amazingly well with 0 nausea and very little pain.
I asked Dr. A if we could avoid a drain as they freak me out. He said yes as long as I was willing to be wrapped very, very tightly for the first few days. I made it 3 days and then with his reluctant permission I cut the tight wrap off and moved into a surgical bra. It was such a relief!!! I had trouble eating and sleeping the first 3 days and then it was so much better!! He took about 240 grams from the left breast.
The right breast I had done just 2 weeks ago and although I woke up with no nausea I did wake up in substantial pain. I asked for something immediately when I woke up and they gave me a shot of morphine which did nothing. I went home and took 2 percocet which helped some but until the wrap came of 3 days after surgery I was hurting pretty bad. He took around 180 grams from this breast.
The ladies on here are not kidding about pain killers being constipating. That was rough and it took a few senna pills to get things regular again.
I recently bought a bra that I fit to my new left breast in a 36 D and it is looking like it will be a great fit!! Truly excited to have finally done this.
Right bre

An unusual experience but the side effects of the painkillers are worth avoiding unless you really do have bad pain. A lot of people don't need them within 2 -4 days
