I grew up with always having a huge chest. I remember getting them in 3rd grade and thought by the time 7th grade happened, it was the "coolest thing ever". I always received a lot of attention from boys and later men. I loved it but than it started turning worse. By the time I was in college, I was well into the DDD range. After college ended, I gained a few pounds and it happened to go to my chest. I was now a 34GG by 28. Yes men paid attention to me but my back was slouching, I had gouges in my shoulders from bra straps, and bras costed $80 for one! I knew I was over being the girl nicknamed as "Jugs" in 5th grade.
With a really supportive husband, he urged me to look into the breast reduction procedure and for the first time I knew I was ready to get it. I went to a few consultations and never heard the words that I wanted to hear. I knew I wanted a smaller chest but I thought a DD would be fine. With the help of really great surgeon, Dr. Robert Frank, he told me he could go a bit smaller. I was in love with the idea of becoming a D and asked them to put it in with insurance. Lisa worked incredibly close with me and Jaime is always so on top of my appointments.
I got it approved and scheduled the surgery. I knew there were a lot of risks, getting put under, and a lot of down time. I remember going into surgery, joking around with the anesthesiologist, and waking up a few hours later in the recovery room.
I had drainage tubes on and was gauzed up. I took one Vicodin pain pill the entire time and drained the tubes at least twice a day. I did do a lot of sitting and rarely slept until later at night. I did not have a lot of pain but really hated not being able to shower for 5 days. I did take a few sponge baths but it wasn't too helpful. I remember looking down and noticing that my chest was a lot smaller.
I'm two months over the surgery, my stitches fully dissolved and the scars are slowly becoming less red. I have anchor scars but it's minor compared to feeling so much better about myself and my body. I did have a few minor hiccups of being allergic to the tape they used which caused me to blister. I also still feel a bit "hard" in my left breast because of something related indirectly to the surgery that is pretty common. I do have a few scabs that have opened up on various parts in my breasts which heal and than re-open. It's minor though and doesn't really bother me.

Provider Review
Dr. Frank and his staff are phenomenal. I have never met 3 of the more laid back but knowledgeable people as practitioners and as medical staff. Lisa and Jamie are very nice and are always willing to go the extra mile. Dr. Frank explains everything in normal people terms without taking down to you.
