38L Hoping for Something Great - Montreal, QC

Is the doctor shooting towards a specific cup size?

Wishing you the best! That rash looks so painful! I guess to look on the bright side of things, this will be your last year to live with a rash like that! I started my journey at the beginning of the year, but knew for many years I would end up being a reduction. I have seen so many ladies and they are still pretty full afterwards, so I felt your worries. I would really stress your size to your PS, bring in 'wish' pics of women that had the same type of reduction as you are getting, so he can really 'see' how small you want to be. I don't know any you, but i only want to do this once, so I just stressed and stressed again about my size. I wanted to be small, not flat but not full either. I said double anything was out of the question! Even the thought of a D scared me, but being a 30 back, I know a D would be livable. I said a C or D at the very biggest and i would rather end up smaller if that means the shape would be more round and we both end up happier with the results, vice leaving me bigger and end up hating the shape. I'm a little over a month post-open and I've been in a 32C post-op bra on the tightest setting since day one. My doc said I'll end up a little bigger, but not much, because the girls will code forward and protrude out more to the round,natural shape. I know some members will mention that size doesn't matter as long as your reduced and you are getting into more cosmetic concerns with size. Well, I think that's totally wrong! I'm petite and not very big, and if I came out a double anything I would freak out! I know everyone is different and has their own opinions, but we are getting a reduction! I'm not trying to be reduced just enough to get the pressure and weight off. I want to be reduced to what is going to be a healthy, and better life for me! I can go on and on about this. I just can't stress enough that this is your body and while your PS will have their recommendations, you have a say in the end result too! Bring pictures, make sure they write in your file your size concerns and requests. It's one thing to be off by 1-2 cup sizes, but 3-4 or more, that is crazy! If you have the documentation saying the size you requested ahs you end up clearly no where near that, then you have that to back you up when or if a revision is needed. Hopefully your PS will agree with you and admit if he left you bigger than you wanted and offer you the revision. At your consult or pre-op, hopefully you asked about their revision policy. If not, the definitely ask before you go into surgery. This is all if you don't get reduced enough, so hopefully your doc will listen to you and actually hear you. Wishing you the best! Sorry, I know this is longer than you probably wanted, but this is a big thing to me! (If you couldn't tell.haha) Thanks for sharing your story...

Hi, just reading your review. I'm 11 days away from surgery today! Glad to see you had a good result :)

They’re not, how do you describe “weirdly”?
