Hi everyone. Long time lurker here. Ok so my story...
The only difference being that 15 years ago I had liposuction only on my breasts and it removed 900mls in total and took me from a H to a E. At the time I was in my 20's was worried about scarring and potential for breast feeding etc so a full reduction was just too scary! Now married and 2 kids later (3 years old and 1.5 yo) I'm back where I was before and miserable.
I've researched and visited 2 female surgeons (that's part of my criteria) and I'm pretty sure I have settled on one. For me both surgeons told me the opposite to the other so it's been hard to decide. Everything from technique (one says lollipop one anchor..one uses drains other does not. . One wouldn't go less than DD the other was happy to go as far as C if I wanted and so on. ....
I'm having trouble deciding what's right for me so I'm mainly going by my gut instincts and how I felt more comfy with (which is the anchor and no drains person).
I was originally going to do this in June during school holidays when my husband would be home to help with kids but now I'm thinking I should just go for it and do it NOW.
I looking for advice from you all about your recovery times, how long before you could care for your kids avian etc. We have a family holiday booked for just after Easter (4.5 weeks from possible surgery date). Is this too soon?? It's a resort holiday in Bali so just sitting around, but I still dont know if I will be in pain.
I'm loving everyone's support and stories. I hope some of you could help and my concerns. X
I'm booked in ! Now getting scared....
I've been wondering lately how this surgery is affected by our monthly cycle. If my boobs are feeling heavy and sore on the day of surgery will this affect things? Or a few days after? Has anyone scheduled around this?
Any advice I should take? Vitamins? Creams? Post op bras?

I found Kim via online search for Melbourne surgeons. It was my personal choice that I knew I was going to feel more comfortable seeing a female. I felt very confident in her abilities from the first meeting. I met with another female surgeon just to be sure and for me they were worlds apart in terms of their approach. Kim really listened to me and answered all of my questions even when I was repeating myself over and over! I was very scared of the procedure and even on surgery day I cried and Kim was super supportive and professional. All the staff at ARC have been phenomenal with all the dealings I have had there. Very discreet and approachable. However by far the best thing has been the result. At the time of writing this I am 2 weeks post op and I'm healing so well. I actually didn't think I could get such a great result. They look round, perky and very natural. Almost like I've stepped back in time to having the breasts I would have had at 15! From someone who has always had large (too large) breasts it's such a relief to feel the way I am. I'm ridiculously happy with my choice of surgeon for what was a terrifying decision to make. Like most people here I just wish I had done it sooner.
