WORTH IT
Hello everyone, as I just talked to a friend that just did her breast lift, I thought it would be a good idea to give my update two years after the Breast reduction and lift. And so, I am sitting at home in my little tank top and thinking, it was the best thing I have ever done for myself!!! Still look great, my breasts droop just a little, but still fabulous ! Girls, no matter how old you are, if you are contemplating the reduction and lift, DON'T! Go and do it!!! You will never regret it! Find a good doc and do it ! End if story. My doc did a fantastic job. So happy with the results. No pictures, at this time, a bit cumbersome , just take my word for now :-).

4 months after breast reduction
GalochkaDecember 14, 2015
Hello everyone! I just updated my rating for Dr. Krau . Girls, I must say, my boobs look amazing! This is why I thought, that I owe this update to the doctor and women that are thinking, or rather contemplating to go for breast reduction to my doc. He did an amazing job! I just wish I was 31, so I could show them off more:-) ! It is funny how many faults I saw during this time.. Also, redness was so concerning to me, but everything has settled down, they look so natural, perfect, perfect areola, I just cannot believe it! So girls, if anyone wants to go for breast reduction I would highly recommend my doc, his work is perfection.. That is it.. No more comments.. Happy holidays to all!

So glad to hear you like your outcome. I'm so appreciative myself of my lift and reduction. They were so droopy and one larger than the other. So nice that blouses that button have no peek a boo gaps!!! I'm only 2 mo. Post, but I've been back to all activities. Swimming I waited, with the chlorine. But I just went again today!!! I put I a little Vaseline on the incisions. Then washed real good with anti-chlorine soap.
How's your friend from New York, the one that told you to get them done???? It's sooooo true about New Yorkers, they really do get in your face, so to speak. Ha ha!!!! Never could get used to that. Take care and Happy Holidays to you also!!!!!

So that's what to do, I think it really works, it's more fun eating with two than one. The same happened to me a few years ago and I got married again and gained half of it back. I'm still 8 kgs over (20 lbs). Ugh!!

13 weeks update
GalochkaNovember 15, 2015
Hi girls! Here I am, after 13 weeks post surgery . The only thing that comes to my mind is : pretty, pretty, pretty!!! OMG, what a ride! But, I love my boobs! I leave alone, and just love walking around my little apartment naked! Yes, I cannot even believe, I am saying this! I love the way my whole body looks now, it's like I was reborn or something! At 61! I should have done this procedure at 25, 45, and now! What was I so afraid of?! Well, I am thrilled with results, and, better later than never:-). As for useful information, I can truly say, one must be patient with recovery. 12 weeks, this us how long it took me to feel normal again. Not 2, or 10, but 12. When you think about it, it is not a small procedure, so it takes time to recover. Btw, I still have redness, dr. Krau said it is not abnormal, so, I am still recovering. Also, I have stopped using any scar treatments, I read somewhere it is pure waste of money.. I believe it... I will post one picture.. I am super happy with the shape! Thank you all for reading my posts, giving encouragement, helping me to make the decision to go for it, for helping to select the right doctor , share your experience , and, simply for kind words! I think it will be my last post regarding breast reduction. I am looking into a new adventure now ...need to get a little facelift,mostly the neck, or a little lipo, to get better waist line, who am I kidding, I don't have a waist line, never did ! :-) big hug to all, happy healing! Happy thanksgiving!!!!

The girls look great!!!!

Thank you! Almost every night after I come home from work I try tops that I could never wear! This is my favorite excersise:-)!
November 17, 2015
I would be doing the exact same thing! Have a wonderful time being perky!
November 17, 2015
I totally get that...I donated a huge amount of XL tops that I will never fit in again...right after surgery (9 18), I was wearing Larges but now mediums seem to fit best...and with the tummy tuck, I went from 14 pants to size 8 last night...shocked but what the label said. Isn't life grand!

Hi Girlfriend! It's Louise! I am so happy for you! You are right, It makes you feel like a new person and that makes the cost of the procedure well worth it! Yes it's a lot of money, ( my husband keeps reminding me how much! ) but you can't put a price on self confidence! It's interesting that you are planning to have a little facelift or lipo, because I have decided that I am saving up for a tummy tuck! It's good to have a goal to work towards. Well good luck to you!
November 19, 2015
Hi Louis, I remember you! You are the girl that did not let your husband know till the last minute! Good for you! Listen, I work with all guys, I am the only woman in the department (I am an engineer), so I can tell you, everyone of them would have a heart attack if their wife would do that, so, it's ok :-) normal reaction! Are not you thrilled with your perky boobs? I love it! Yes, we definitly need to keep up the youthful look to the best of our ability! For sure! Great to here from you! Happy healing! Hugs! Happy thanksgiving! Galina

Hi Galina, I do remember you saying that you are an engineer! Thats so cool! Yes I am SO glad I did this! Every time I look in the mirror I feel so much better! Happy Thanksgiving to you too Galina!

Another success story....your Breasts look great!!!!!!! We will be waiting for your next review, hope you give yourself a good year before you embark on your new adventure!!! Let your body heal. (((((((hugs))))))))
November 19, 2015
Yes,you are so right! I need to heal and loose weight!!! Ohh, so hard, to loose these 7-10 pounds.. And the holidays are coming! Oh boy.. So, what do you think I should do first , lipo ( around my waist, like I gave one :-) lol) or the neck?hm... Very hard decision.. I can pass for 50 now, except for my neck.. Also, it will be a correction, I had full facelift at 45, like a fool :-), but, who knows maybe this is why I look pretty youthful .. Maybe now it is time to add my face to my boobs :-)
Hugs! Hope you healing well! Happy thanksgiving! Galina

I am at 11 weeks and totally get where you are coming from on feeling normal again. I did the tummy tuck and lip and breast reduction...and had major shoulder surgery a month before all that...so I have been one tired Momma...took a lot longer off from work than I thought I would but in the end, it was the right thing to do.
And I get loving your new boobs...we ended up the same size...38C (for me, as confirmed by Soma bra professional measurer). They totally understand my need for soft bras and no wires etc and had several to recommend. I wanted to get something a little sexier than the basic undershirt kind that I have been wearing. My husband is getting me a gift card to Victoria Secret for Christmas...he thinks I should be wearing sexier underwear now that it does not have to be industrial strength! Silly guy!
Hey, I will say that the lipo does work...took out 2 gallons of fat from me during the surgery and initially I thought it was an epic failure and waste of money. NO change but could tell I was swollen. But out of nowhere in the past few weeks, I feel it all coming down and am very comfortable in pants that are 3 sizes smaller. I really do wonder what my body will be like when all is back to normal...but for now, I enjoy my "boobettes" as I call them as they are SO much smaller and weigh so much less than they did 12 weeks ago. According to SOMA, 38C is the most desired size and they said that many women come in complaining that their doc took out too little or too much but mine turned out just right from their standards. Good docs give good outcomes, I guess...
Thanks for the update and glad all is well. We 61 year olds going thru this need to stick together...

OMG ! I have done all that! You are so brave! What a great decision! I need lipo now! I really need lipo! You know, my face is kind of small, my whole head is small, the only small part on body :-), so, to lose weight, well, I really don't think will look good on my... And also, need to fix my neck, to match my gorgeous boobs! Which are no longer in need of an industrial strength bra (hahaha). Thank you for reading my posts! So proud of you to go thru such huge surgery! You are a superwoman ! Hugs! Happy healing! Happy holidays! Galina
