Update!
WORTH IT$12,000
I nearly forgot about this profile, but have been getting some comments lately and wanted to check in!
My Dr was Donald Altman at Irvine Plastic Surgery center...would recommend him a million times over!!
I've had zero issues, minimal scarring, no issues long term, and feel amazing. If you're on the fence, THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Attached a new photo - 34 DD and happy as a clam. Stay safe everyone!

A year post op!
No real update, other than - why didn't I do this years ago??? Scarring is almost entirely gone. No sensitivity issues. Life is good.

HI! I am a 36G and small frame but looking through photos and stories I am incredibly nervous that they will look "weird". How badly is the pain? How is the scarring going??
hahaha i was concerned about the looking weird part too, but i think that's just normal. pain was drasticallllyyy less than i anticipated, if it was a scenario where you had to get it done every couple years i would do it again 10x over. scarring is also drastically less- and i had the full anchor! my surgeon was very honest that the scarring gets worse before it gets better so i rode the wave and sure enough, they're better every day. i honestly cannot say enough positive things about the experience and surgery- it is a game changer. i read a LOT of horror stories and not to minimize it at ALL, but if you're mentally ready for the surgery, you'll heal that much faster. i even had full mobility of my arms by day 2.
Thanks so much for the reply :) I am looking into it and just kind of terrified LOL
Great results. You look amazing. Thanks for coming back and posting the follow up pics. I love hearing it all turned out well. My surgery is in 9 days. Eek!
Thx for posting, any idea what size you are now?
after all the swelling, a proud 34d :)
Thank you! I'm a 30i and trying to see what size people are in after their reductions :) the smaller band size makes it difficult for me to look at bras and figure out the approx size I might end up.
You were a 32" band size before, are you wearing a 34" now because it's more comfortable?

its just more comfortable- i don't have to worry about strapping everything down now, so i just get to where what feels right for once! i didn't even look at smaller bras until i was a few months into recovery.
That's awesome, thank you for replying. I figure if there's a 32" bra "off the rack" I'll wear those if they are comfortable, instead of ordering online or going to specialty stores. So tired of expensive bras!
girllll trust me - i feel you. it's a whole new world. i honestly can't say enough positive things about the surgery.
You look amazing! Good for you! I did it too, but I haven't posted any pics yet, as I'm at 5 weeks, and not quite ready. I look and feel amazing too!
oooh ya things dont look particularly greattt at 5 weeks ;) hang in there! also not sure if your doc specified, but i was told that scars get worse before they get better and it was super true for me- 7 months later and mine are fading fastttt!
They didn't specifically tell me that, but I read that somewhere. So hearing it from a real person who's gone through it is comforting. Thank you!
no prob! feel free to hit me if you have any questions. xx
Hi. Can you tell me what you used for scarring?
ya know whatttt... i read a lot of suggestions and just ended up using straight coconut oil!
Is it possible to get another photo now? I want to get it done and I'm inspired by your story
