I have read a few stories so far and I am so happy I did! I saw my surgeon for my pre op appointment today. I found out that my breasts are too large for just a lollipop but she will do an anchor with a lollipop nipple procedure. ( I'm sure I'm getting phrasing confused but she drew what she was going to do and it made perfect sense. ) I'm still apprehensive as to what my breasts will look like after the surgery and in a year after they are totally healed. I hope that I still feel like myself and that my husband will approve. ( He does now and will afterwards) I'm just paranoid. Looking forward to a newer version of myself and one that can do Zumba and not be in pain anymore. Play golf, fold my arms under my breast, jog without pain, fit into clothes that fit my frame instead of my breasts. I could go on and on. Until next time... Take care ladies! Blessings and prayers your way throughout your journey.

Beautiful job! I'm happy for you! I never had kids and mine were to my waist. I had a double mastectomy with DIEP flap and they turned out so nicely. Similar to yours. Happy healing!

Well I'm trying to get house in order before my surgery. I'm the only female in my household so I'm going to be pretty much on my own during recovery if you know what I mean...????
I had one breakdown on Sunday trying to wrap my head around what I will look like after my reduction. Happy then sad, excited then scared. Mixed bag of emotions at this point. I will post again tomorrow. Praying for a healthy recovery.

Don't worry, sounds like you're having all the normal feelings! You will likely be up and down like a roller coaster for a while but you will soon be back on an even keel, and feeling the weight lifted from your shoulders, neck and back. You will be fine, just remember to breathe :-) good luck for your "big" day! X

Just tired and sore. My incisions are still oozing just a tiny bit. I think I'm a lot smaller than I thought I would be. I'm not complaining just surprised. I wish I would have shown my surgeon a picture or two. It's ok though. I haven't healed yet or anything so I'm not sure what they are going to
Look like. I do have fat under my arms that I wished were lipo-Ed out. I will post a picture tonight.

I am 4 days post surgery. I was a 34HH (was a J during pregnancy). I feel too small too. I had 1000g removed from one and over 1000g removed from the other. I have no idea what size I am now. Between my boobs is so swollen. My breast circumstance is 40" (32" rib cage) but I have no cleavage. It just looks so strange to me. :(.
I am anxious to see your post surgery shots. Take care and thank you for sharing your experience with this community.

Welcome to the smaller side :-) i know how you feel about feeling smaller than expected, I felt the same for the first week. I think i was in shock to be honest, but i soon got used to them and they look alot different already at day 19 than they did at day 2 (sometimes i even think they are too big, which they are not haha) it's an emotional roller coaster but just hang on tight and ride it out, you will do great :-) xx

Give them time to settle and heal. I think it is much more preferable to be smaller. So many reviews on here have people upset that they are still too big. Just wait until you can start to try on clothes you never wore before! Rest and drink loads of water.
You will feel like a new woman once this is done and will be able to do things you have never done. It's a very uplifting feeling to lift the load. We all go through the same fears of what will we look like etc. My BR is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
