I have been researching and praying for a reduction and a lift for many years. After being denied by the insurance company several times, I have decided to pay out of pocket and I am using a wonderful Dr recommended by a breast specialist. I am a few days away from surgery and I am excited, anxious and a tad nervous. I want to post about my experience so that I can inspire others as they have inspired me! I will post again the night before! See 'ya soon.

I've never felt comfortable in my own skin. For the past few years I've been researching the breast reduction procedure and searching for the perfect surgeon. I found the most amazing surgeon who came highly recommended by my medical team. I finally found the courage and had the money, so I did it! It's day 4 and it's actually not been as bad as I anticipated. Today has been the worst day, mostly because she removed the tape that was holding them up yesterday. Now I feel more pressure and slight pain. I'm highly impressed with my progress and overjoyed with my physician and her staff! Dr Geppart and her team have far exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone. I was treated like royalty and the fact that she has her own surgical suite was the icing on the cake. I was top priority and received the best care possible. Harbour Plastic Surgery in League City is the best of the best. I am so happy with my results. They are the perfect shape already and so perky.

Hi Stoocie, welcome to other side. You've taken a big step and I trust you will find comfort with your new look.

Remember you are early in your recovery, are you still taking your pain medication?

I only needed them for about 4 days. My recovery has been much better than I anticipated. I describe it to others as severely uncomfortable lol. I am now 3 weeks post op.

I am doing well and it is amazing how much better my neck feels! I am able to wear a snug sports bra so that is much more comfortable. I do miss sleeping on my belly but it is a cheap price to pay for feeling and looking better. I urge anyone considering this surgery to go for it. Do your research and find a qualified and pleasant physician that makes you feel comfortable. Mine is amazing! I am going to post my 24 hour post ops and then on the 29th I am completely healed on the outside now but I want her to take the pics at her office where the lighting is better. My sutures have been out a week but I still had some slight scabbing at my 2 week visit, so we will wait for pics. I had maybe 4 drops of blood the day after on a gauze pad and that has been it! I was very thankful for no drains as well.
