A little about me. I've just turned 40, in good cardio shape, run regularly 10k 3 or 4 times a week, and cycle when its not raining!

I'm not tall, only around 5'5 and I weigh about 9 and half stone. So nothing majorly wrong, 30" waist, 36" chest.

So to my problem, I've always been self conscious of my chest, even when I was young I seem to recall being a little concerned. Not sure what started it off, but these things happen.


I've been actively thinking of having chest reduction surgery for a while now, and have purused the Internet and sites like this on and off for probably 4 or 5 years. I've never quite had the push to do it, and often find the forums off putting. There is that much rubbish posted online, and people slating clinics and pretending to be who they are not its hard to decide what to do.

Recently I read an blog post on this site, and the guy who wrote it pretty much had a physical build close to mine, and was after slightly different but close enough goals. I've followed what he wrote, looked at the pictures etc. and made the decision.

I chose to use Selston clinic, with Dr Bassi. I'm fortunate as I live very close by, less than half hour.

I booked in and made my appointment. As others have said the area itself is not the most fancy, but its fine. An old mining town/village back in the day. The clinic itself is attached to a GP surgery, but they are separate buildings, with separate receptions etc.

I can recommend both doctors, both approachable and helpful. Maintained a professional and yet relaxed atmosphere. The entire team have been great, and so far so good.

How are you doing?  Sounds like you had surgery yesterday?

I'm good thanks, and yes I did. Going to put up pictures and more updates today I think. Spent the weekend at a BBQ and sun, so all in all pretty fine.

Wow sounds like you are doing great!  Just looked at your pics- I think you look fantastic so far.  Keep us posted!

Hello, I'm in with Dr B next Saturday (24th)..any tips, comments or advice greatly appreciated. Hope you're recovering well.. look forward to hearing more of your story and progress.

Hi, I saw your review, and your kit bag... :) I'd say, relax and its not as scary or bad as your may think in you mind. They are great, helpful and I felt very well taken care off. I think all I've done so far is buy more steri strips, and I had a big box of gazue. I think lots of those help. Also my garment caused a few friction rubs, so I bought a tube of Savalon healing gel, and its fixed them like magic. I'll post again this evening and put up pictures showing progress. Good luck.

Thanks so much for your reply and for taking the time to read mine. Have some savalon in the medicine cabinet so will dig that out and look at getting some steristrips. So happy to hear it's not that bad. I didn't think it would be as a few of his patients now saying he takes very good care of you during it so it's relaxing me a lot. More excited than anxious now. How are you finding the garment in the weather? I'm hoping it'll cool down over the next few days couldn't imagine wearing it with all the padding in 22 degrees :( look forward to the pics!

The garment actually is ok, as its so figure hugging weirdly you don't sweat so much it seems. I'm changing and washing them every day, but so far so good. I think excitement was my main feeling on the day, and having been and had the op, and a massage I can say the care and treatment is great. You'll be fine and look great afterwards I'm sure.

First meeting

huntvas
I had my initial examination with Dr Bassi, we chatted a little and I explained what I was after. I removed my top, and he prodded and poked my chest (always an odd feeling), then agreed that he could help. After drawing some lines on me, and explaining what he'd do I got dressed.

He showed me a few pictures from his website, explaining the similar look I could expect from various past clients. I should point out, and the pictures should show, I'm not heavily over weight, and I don't have lots of excess skin, stretch marks etc. I'm in fairly good nick I think.

We discussed price, and that was it.

I then mentioned that I was considering having my stomach, and sides done as well. Not at the same time, but just thinking about it. So I removed my top, and again Dr Bassi drew on me. Explaining what he could do for me. I don't want a 6 pack, or crazy cut in definition, but I'd like to loose the flab and have a clean profile.

I'd like to point something out here; when I first removed my top, and we discussed my chest that was all Dr Bassi talked about. At no point did he try and "up-sell" extra services. He did not comment, or infer anything. I really liked that approach, as there was no sense of being sold to or pushed into something. It makes for a comfortable and trusting environment.

Whilst talking about what we could do regarding my stomach area, it was quite an animated conversation, and as others have said the enthusiasm and passion for his work comes out.

I left, went away with various forms, and then decided to book in my appointment.

My chest reduction was scheduled for May 14th.
