So excited, nervous, excited!!! I started this process 3 years ago and of course things kept coming up and I put this on hold, but I decided to just go ahead and get my new body!! I am 160lbs and 5.3, and hoping breast reduction helps alleviate my back and neck pain! TT and Lipo is because I've had 4 kids and my job requires me to sit at a desk ALL day! I have big expectations and can't wait to be done with this!! After 4 consults I choose Dr. Rankin's because his before and after pics had the look I was going for!

Feeling pretty good!! It's day 8 and I haven't had any meds since day 7, other than finishing up my antibiotic. I've had 3 drains removed and will have the last one taken out on day 10, so I will post pics after that! Tummy is swollen and Dr says this is normal but my breasts are healing quickly and the relief of having smaller ones was noticeable from day one!! I'm so happy I've done this!!!

Feeling really good 12 days after surgery! Of course I still have swelling and have to take it easy but I expected that! All of my drains came out on day 10 and I seem to be healing nicely!
I do go back to work Monday, I was only able to get 2 weeks off, so I'm hoping that doesn't exhaust me too bad!!
I have to say that having Dr Rankin has been awesome! He takes things one step at a time!!
I came out of surgery with everything I needed till the next appointment, and at every appointment I got what I needed till my next visit! Super easy, and I felt confident leaving that I knew exactly what was going on with my body and what I needed to do!
These are today's pics and I'm definitely no photographer, so they aren't the best!!

Wow! Looks terrific. Even your belly button looks amazing. Did he tell you he had to do a horizontal incision at your consultation or is it something he did during surgery? When you get a chance can you take a side view picture of your tummy?

He didn't tell me at consult that I'd need to have that done. It's about 1 inch long and is easily covered with my panties.
I will post more pics soon! :)

Did your doc tell you the reason for the horizontal incision. Mine mentioned it briefly that it may be needed, but I did not get much info on why.

Due to taking so much loose skin off and pulling the new skin tight. He said it was needed because there would be puckering of my skin where the horizontal incision is.
