WORTH IT$5,500
I used to LOVE my large breast, but as years went by they began to sag and I really started to notice the difference in size, needless to say I am very ready for this! My procedure will be partially covered by my health insurance, the plan is to perform a lift on my right breast and reduce the left breast to match the right. I have 1 week till my surgery date! Will hopefully update with great results.

Had my surgery yesterday! I was the first case of the morning, when I got to the hospital they took my vitals and hooked me up to the iv and got me ready to be marked by my doctor, after he marked me it wasn't too long until they came to take me to the OR, there I spoke to the anesthesiologist and they put me under, 6 hours later I woke up in the recover room. My throat was killing me! I was very nauseous from the anesthesia and the pain medication they gave me (morphine) did not help so i was switched over to a different pain pump that was hooked up to my IV fluids, I was also given antibiotics. I ended up staying overnight which was a HUGE HELP. The nurses taught me how to properly empty out my drains and answered any questions I had. Today I am back home, trying to take it easy. I've been able to walk around which my doctor said is key, it obviously helps prevent blood clots and keeps the blood circulating. I haven't been able to take off the dressing the doctor put on but so far I like what I see. He ended up removing 790 grams from my left breast and 250 grams from my right. 2 pounds!! Amazing.

Thank you for sharing your reviews like yours have made my choice to have breast reduction surgery so easy. Best wishes praying for healthy and speedy recovery

Absolutely! I am happy my reviews have been beneficial, so far I think it is absolutely worth it, I am loving the size difference and can already tell there is less pain in my back. I hope you are able to get the process started soon!

Hope you are doing well. I had mine done on April 10th and was looking for someone to talk to when I saw your post. I am healing really well but still in a lot of pain inside my breasts as opposed to along the incisions. Put coconut oil on yourself, you will be amaized how it helps. I never went through the dry itchy stage at all. Take care.

Thank you for the tip! Hope you are doing well also, I am scheduled for my post op visit tomorrow morning and hopefully will get the drains removed. I have been told to not touch anything until then, I hope the pain in your breasts gets better. Praying for a smooth recovery!

So, I am in LOVE. I am 4 days post op, loving my size and having a smooth recovery so far. I will be taking the antibiotics for about 10 days and have an appointment to see my PS in 3 weeks. I got my drains removed yesterday and have had very light bleeding/drainage since. I was able to shower today and that was lovely! My PS said to make sure and lightly wash all the incision/drain sights with antibacterial soap and running water. no baths obviously, no swimming quite yet haha. i felt great after taking a shower and even went out to lunch today. After too much activity i definitely get a little sore so i'm learning how important it is to rest and not overdo it! my body is healing well but i have to take it easy! and i have no problem with that :) unfortunately i have to go back to work on tuesday, i do have a desk job so it's not strenuous, my main concern is the drive. hoping not to have any issues with that.

Firstly well done they look smashing. Great shape. I'm 3 weeks 2 days post op and just been back to my desk job for the last 3 days and had to cut my hours a bit due to soreness and bruising. I drive 15 miles each way a day. And manage fine but use some sort of padding against your chest and seat belt, Cos you will feel the pressure. I found pushing forward into 5th gear hard so kept to the 4 gears only cos they change easier with a flick of the wrist. Take care. And good luck.

I had a consultation with Dr. Shayan last year and was scheduled for sugery in June 2014. Due to personal circumstances, I was unable to have the surgery. I have a couple questions though - was your surgery at St. Luke's hospital and did you make a separate payment for anesthesia? I feel like I got a heavy invoice prior to my surgery. Please let me know.
May 18, 2015
Yes my surgery was at st. luke's, and yes i did pay seperately for anesthesia, i believe it was $650.
May 18, 2015
Thanks. I called him today and I'm excited once again. Another question please, how much did you pay the hospital - St. Luke's? I had so many invoices that it scared me. Thanks.
May 19, 2015
oh man... St. Lukes charged me a LOT. I paid more for the facility than the actual doctor and his staff which I thought was crazy. I think it was about $2800, are you going to be using insurance at all?
May 20, 2015
Yes. Thanks for the response. I'm using insurance with 80/20 copay. I'm so inspired by your post and decided to use Dr. Izzadoost, but the price ..... Eh!!! Wish you an excellent recovery!!!
May 20, 2015
Oh thank you so much! He really did an AMAZING job. I can't begin to describe to you how happy I am with his work. My breasts are starting to fall more naturally now and I looove them. Your price should be lower since insurance is covering the whole procedure, I have a similar plan but they only agreed to cover one breast because they wanted me to remove 500 grams from both but Dr. Izaddoost did not want to do that, so i was self pay for one of my breasts which made things very confusing!

Wow! They look great on you!! Congrats!
