WORTH IT
A year ago on Jan. 7 th I had my br. I am still very happy with my results and am more comfortable in my body. I am a weight watchers failure but none the less I still have small boobs. Over the last several months I have discovered many wonderful things about having a breast reduction.
We as women are smarter about our bodies than our male counterparts. When we say we want small boobs why cant they listen?
Now I have noticed, when things fall from my mouth they land in my lap, not on my boob shelf.
When I walk into a room I no longer have a tidal wave of boob jiggle.
No more cleavage 2" under my chin...so not a good look. as a matter of fact I now have no cleavage
My seat belt fits better
More room in my winter coat
I can now carry a cross body bag and not look like I am shoplifting 2 turkeys
i can buy cheap bras on the sale rack
My arms hang straight down at my sides
Why did I buy so many black tops?
No more 0verpriced minimizer bras which hurt. and by the way just where is all that boobage supposed to go?
No more stares from creepy guys
I cant rest my arms acsoss large boob shelf
I look younger in my clothes
I am now able to wear a scarf around my neck and not look like I am wearing a huge muffler
My necklaces lie flat
And the best.. no more boob sweat
I now face the daunting task of having my first mammogram after my br.. Would I recommend this procedure, a million times yes. Even with revision surgery I am so happy I did this. Just ask my husband.

Thank you. I am happy too. My husband said if he knew there was an operation to make me this happy he would have signed me up for it years ago

Since my original ps died I tell my his and when he gets too frisky with them, I say hey watch it look what happened to the last guy

As you know we all are our own worst critics but I think they look great! I was curious how much were your revisions you had & did insurance pay for them? You list $25 on your surgery cost. I was also curious before your sweet PS passed was he including any of the revision in his cost? I don't anticipate it but just a tad curious. As for the bra/panties requirement for that one dr - I must say for the mismatched getups I've seen on sites, I think I know why he does it. But I experienced a super bad PS, who wondered why I'd ever have seen him if I was already going to the Best he'd trust his wife too. Least he was a smart (jerk). I'm glad you appreciate the simple things we will now enjoy...shaving legs can't wait!

For my initial surgery i only paid $25.00 my initial co pay and my insurance paid for the whole surgery. My first ps was a real slick businessman. When i first went to him, i fully intended to have to pay for it all. My breasts were very large but they were more saggy. I wish i had some pictures to show. Dr. Smith asked m a lot of questions and pretty much told me what to say and i was approved in two days. He knew all the right angles. I have read a lot of reviews on this site and noone had the same post op care or instructions as me. I was in a huge snug thick post op wrap for three days and i had my drains in for 10 days. I had tons of drainage and very little swelling. After my husband and i took off the bulky dressing my new boobs were totally covered in paper tape. My husband thought they were in dixie cups. I never got to see them till 10 days post op. When he took out the drains and peeled back the paper tape i jumped up off the table and ran over to the huge mirror in his office and squealed like a 3 year old. I asked him if they were really mine and if i could keepthem. I gàve him a hug and he was embarassed i know. I know you will find it hard to believe but i still cannt believe these small boobs are mine. I look at them all the time and each day i say a prayer of thanks to dr smith. My revision surgery was also totally paid for by my insurance. Dr. Smith had already gotten pre approval from the insurance company so all i had to do was call them about my new ps and new hospital. They gave me approval in a few days. I got an itemized bill on my revision and it was $4250.00. All i paid was $25.00 for the co pay for the pathologist. I know you are in the early stages of healing and it is hard to behave but it is so worth it. I still cant believe i carried around thoe heavy breasts for so long. I had 3 pounds from the left and 2 3/4 from the right. I feel so much lighter and younger. My husband said if he knew there was an operation to make me this happy he would have signed me up for it a long time ago. Who knew? And i am a nurse and i work in the operating room

Oh my God girl!!! Hives??!! Then your ps died??? Oh my! What a traumatic experience for you. But your boobs look fantastic now. I'm glad you had that growth taken care of too and I'm glad it wasn't anything serious. Bless your heart! I'm glad you're doing so well now!

six months out
me950July 16, 2013
I am about 6 1/2 months from my original surgery, and I am about 6 weeks from my revision surgery. I did well after my revision, my new ps was just wonderful. he revised my anchor scars and removed a mass from my right breast which turned out to be fat necrosis. I was sore and very bruised this time around and I also had swelling and constipation exactly as the first time. I am very happy I had my br. every day I send a prayer of thanks to Dr. Smith my original ps for giving me small boobs. I now have no upper back pain, shoulder pain or neck pain. I used to stuff my large boobs every day into a too small bra and go about my daily living. I knew I did not like them but until I reached my breaking point I just lived like that. Now I say wow what a difference. I am only a c cup now and I am overweight but I am pleased with how I look. Are my new boobs perfect? No Do I care? Not in the least. Am I comfortable in my body? Oh yes and I look much better in my clothing. Even when I shave my legs I don't have to move my huge boobs out of the way. If anyone is even the least bit hesitant I say go for it. This is the most wonderful thing I have ever done just for me.My boobs have not really changed much from the 3 month mark. I am trying to diet and get down to a healthy weight and I am curious to see just if my boobs will change in size. if I ever dieted before I lost no weight from my chest, they just drooped more. I will submit another post in 9 months.
