It's finally my turn to document my journey!
I've wanted a reduction for a couple years now due to back and shoulder pain, so its something thats always been in mind. I have to say, now being only a couple weeks until surgery I am quite nervous!
I booked my surgery through Longevita. I had a consultation at their London Office (where I'm based), but the surgery takes place in Turkey.
The price shown includes transfers, hotel for 4 nights and surgery. (Flights had to be purchased separately ).
If anyone has any helpful tips or a list of things i should definitely purchase for before or after the surgery please let me know!
I will update closer to the time..
Including before& after pictures.

Have you done plenty of research on your consultant?? I think you’re extremely brave going to Turkey, I’m having mine done on the 10th and I’ve only got to travel half an hour. You’ve also got to take into consideration how you’ll be feeling 4 days post op? How long are you staying in Turkey? Just the 4 days in hospital or have you booked a hotel also??

Hello, yes of course I've done alot of research.
I have also been able to get in contact with other patients from the UK who have already gone for surgery with the same Dr.
It seems to be quite common for people travel for surgery.
I am required to stay at the Hospital for the 1st night.
I'm also not travelling alone so I will have extra help.
Thank you for your concern

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I lost weight and now I have excess skin and I need a breast reduction for my 42I breast. I am now a size 14 in pants down from a 24. My shirts are still a 20/22 due to excess skin. I cannot stand up straight with out great effort. My upper back and shoulder blades burn with pain when I wear a bra. I get muscle spasms in my neck. Thanks again and Godspeed.

It's no problem.
Thank you for your well wishes, I hope you're able to fix your problems x

It was done through a company called Longevita

Hiya Hun

I’m about to have a breast reduction by Dr Yuksel end of this month, 34HH to hopefully a DD/E my breast are very similar to yours and wanted to know if you had a reduction with implants or without? How is the pain after the first few days? I’m still trying to decide and after reading reviews I am getting rather nervous!
May 9, 2018
Without implants.
I was in the same boat, but I had a very pleasant experience. I was suprised there wasn't more positive reviews.
If ypu have any questions that may ease your nerves, feel free to private mssg me.

Also the pain for me was very bearable. Often hear people say its "uncomfortable" at times, not painful. That was definitely true for me.

Thank you Hun, I have sent you a message with post op questions xx

Hi there, I'm currently in the same position as you. Young with large sagging breasts and I'm currently researching. When is your op date? And how much were you quoted for this?
April 7, 2018
I had my operation yesterday morning.
I paid £2340 for everything mentioned in my first post.
April 7, 2018
Wow that sounds really good! Can I also ask what was the timeframe between your consultation and operation date? Were you able to get a date easily or was there a waiting list? Just saw your recent pictures, and so far your breasts are looking amazing! Hope everything went well with the surgery, and wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery.
April 7, 2018
I had a consultation around August and i put a deposit down in November.
There wasn't really a waiting list as far as I know. Easter was just the holiday i decided to do it in and would have the money by.

Thankyou, my Dr done an amazing job.

You are my book twin. I never had children either.

Haha :)

You can not fly for at least 2 weeks after the surgery otherwise you will spoil everything.
January 22, 2019
Thanks but your a little bit too late.
Are you a Dr?

Day of treatment

Its all donee!! 1 day Post Op

I was a lil nervous before I got to the hospital. After meeting my Patient Care Specialist (person who accompanies me during all doctor appointments in Turkey) I felt more at ease. She is absolutely lovely.
When I arrived I spoke to the anesthesiologist, nurses weighed me, and took blood samples for testing. This process took just over an hour or so.
After getting the all clear the Dr came back in to chat about what size I wanted ect, then marked me up.
The process was very simple & smooth. Surgery went well so, so far so good! I stayed the night at hospital so they could monitor me. Hospitals very clean & comfy.
At the moment i can only see my cleavage as the surgical bra is put on before you wake up. From what I can see, Im in love! It does feel strange, but a good strange. Everythings very swollen and tender, so my boobs will become smaller than this over the next few months, but ill attach pictures anyway! :)
Later today my Dr will change my bandages and I'll be able to see them properly for the first time!!
The pain isn't too bad. (2 or 3/10)

Are you planning on having a reduction too?
May 9, 2018
Sorry for late response. Working crazy to raise money for my procedure. Yes, i so want to do mine.
May 9, 2018
You mentioned doctor ask you the size u wanted. What size did you want/get? I love yours and it will give me idea of expected size. What size of post op bra did you get?
May 9, 2018
I asked for a DD/E he did say E was still pretty big so I opted for DD. I was sure to let him know i did not want to be smaller than that.
I woke up with a surgical bra & was instructed to only wear sports bras ect (nothing with underwires ) for 3 months. So i have not bought a bra yet as i know my boobs can still slightly change in size.
I have 2 other similar bras that fasten at the front size L
May 9, 2018
No problem.
Good luck to you x
