So Happy with my Results! Breast Lift with Slight Reduction - Monroe, MI

I always was large chested. I always wished I was a tiny bit smaller. Being large chested just gets in the way of sports, being active, and fitting into clothes and especially bathing suits. Being a 32dd was not a too much of a problem until I had a baby. After that my breasts just faced south and I was more like a 34ddd. I was very self-conscious. I could not find bras or yoga clothes that fit properly. Even after I lost the pregnancy weight I knew I would never look like my old self. I had pain from always having to wear heavy duty bras and I looked heavier than I actually was. I had severe under breast chafing and severe rashes. I wanted to be back to my old size or smaller and lifted up. What I really wanted was a reduction but since I did not have the required volume my insurance denied it. I wanted to be able to exercise freely and be free of the constant pain I felt. The fact is if I was overweight or heavy set the surgery would have been most likely covered as a reduction and not cosmetic. My mother had the same issue and hers was covered.

I was never nervous about scarring. My only regret is I didn't push more to go down to a small C cup. I'm still a double 32dd but everything is in the right place. I'm sure if I lost a few more pounds it would bring me down a bit. I definitely had volume so did not want implants at all. I chose Dr. Kelly because I had friends and family go to him and their results were fantastic. His staff was professional and I was able to arrange payments in advance and after to afford a surgery I felt by all means should have been covered by my insurance.

I had no problems other than a few stitches coming out months later. I used the scar gel religiously and always wore my post surgery bras. The results today are great. And I no longer slouch to hide my chest.

Dr. Kelly really made such a difference in my whole outlook and self esteem.

Thanks so much for telling us about your journey. I agree that's frustrating that the insurance didn't cover the procedure, most likely because you're at a healthy weight! If you feel comfortable, it would be so great if you could share some photos with the community. Let me know if I can help with that?
