Prof Mark Ashton - Melbourne - Breast Reduction I've Waited 20 Years for ! I'm THRILLED !

(Melb Australia) I was a D cup by the time I was...
WORTH IT$10,500
(Melb Australia)
I was a D cup by the time I was 18 even though I was slim. My well endowed chest was then a source of embarrassment to me for the rest of my adult life. I continued to get even bigger after having 2 kids, 5 years apart. More recently they were so big and daggy and heavy I felt like a matronly, 70yo woman instead of a 43 yo woman. I have avoided looking at my breasts for the last 10 years, and my self consciousness and poor body image destroyed my sex life with my ex-husband.
I was ogled and complimented on my breasts all through my 20s. I have spent the last 27 years dressing as modestly as I could to minimize the look of my breasts and even now my girlfriends were shocked when I tell them I was an F cup.
I've never been able to wear pretty summer dresses, buy cute lingerie as the bras only go up to a C, to jog I've had to wear 3 bras ... my boobs have been a huge impediment to me my whole life.
After researching for a few years I discovered Prof Mark Ashton. I cannot give him enough gold stars !
I'm on a 2 part plan with him - breast reduction to a D cup to start with, then sim at losing as much weight as possible in to the New Year, then an abdominoplasty with breast review (possibly lift) after my weight loss to fix up my stomach. He has been a wonderful surgeon and is clearly well liked by the nurses and colleagues and moved by his patients.
I had my 3hr procedure yesterday and I am in discomfort today but nowhere near as bad as I had expected.
I can't bieve that I now have small, perky breasts that don't hang like pendulums, one significantly bigger than the other.
Standing up first thing in the morning is when j really noticed the difference. Instead of the dragging down, heavy, pain in my shoulders and chest - I felt light ! Ian SO glad I've done this ! It's already changed my life and my health !!!

Day 10 - starting to recover and get back to slightly 'normal'
Day 5
Mark and the team checked me today. All good. Discomfort
Day 10
Pain's pretty good though I'm still keeping up semi-regular paracetamol. Back sleeping and restricted movement has been the hardest thing so far !
My tape and bandages are still in place and getting removed in a couple of days. I had an allergic reaction to the painkiller (Endone) and was too sick to go in for my 2nd checkup.
Note : don't over medicate when you leave hospital ! I should have dropped the Endine within a couple of days but stupidly kept it up for a week unnecessarily !
I'm getting some deep, twangs of pain in my left breast behind the nipple but the main discomfort is in the arc wounds under each breast, particularly where the T-junction sutures are.
I have been allowing myself to do very little thanks to my parent's help and school holidays and have needed a LOT of sleep.
Today is the first day I've gone the whole day without sleeping and have done some light housework and aittle ironing,
I am thrilled that I can easily button up my favourite shirts !!!

Day 12 - I'm so excited and in disbelief at how good they look !
Day 12
I'm ecstatic ! I had my take taken off today and Ive seen my new breasts for the first time. I cannot believe I have perky, C cup breasts ! I somehow exoected to get smaller version of my old, daggy breasts and here I have tight, perky boobs ! What a bonus. I feel more sexy and confident than I have in 20 years after less than 2 weeks post surgery ! I'm going to be able to wear evening dresses with built in cups, bathing suits and the lust goes in. the pain and the expense have SO bedn worth it.
