WORTH IT
Tomorrow marks 2 weeks post op. I reside in the Chicago area. The surgery was done in New York. My surgeon and his staff were outstanding. The discomfort was only the first 72 hours. I had drains removed the next morning. I did not feel him remove them. There are no stitches to be removed. I had a follow up appt. 8 days after surgery. He would like me to come back for a quick look next month. In my opinion the surgeon you choose is the most important decision you make and he or she is the most important ingredient. I explained my goals and based on his experience he made educated decisions. My nipples had feeling immediately. I am still in the healing process but one thing I do know is that my surgeon has been there every step of the way. His staff has been an excellent support system for me. Please choose wisely.

I hope you'll post more comments, and photos, too, though, I appreciate your written posts.
I've been considering BR for many years, but now, nearly to the 69-yard-line, I'm wondering if I should hurry, and do it, or if it's just silly, and too late.

It is never too late. This is the first time I have had surgery and it was so worth it.

So glad you had a good experience, with a great surgeon. What was the deciding factor in your surgeon's favor?

I had an appt with him for a consult 2 years prior and he told me that he would not consider doing a reduction until I lost weight. Once I lost the weight my breasts were not as heavy so it really worked to my benefit.

Would love to see pictures. I'm 6 days post op and having my first shower today and then get to see my bare breasts for first time.

Unfortunately at this time I have no before pictures. I have not taken any pictures at all. I am still trying to find a comfortable bra so any suggestions would help. I did purchase some front closure sports bras from Walmart but since I am 5 ft 1 inch tall they are too long.

That's my biggest complaint. The bra I bought from PS office the band hurt too much up under my breasts. Then I found a Bali soft bra in my drawer but the very soft band hurt too. I ended up with a fairly tight stretch tank top. It's under the breast that is so sensitive. I took off all the bandages and showered this morning and nearly used up all the nurse left me putting them on myself. So off to pharmacy to buy some more.
