WORTH IT$9,000
Hard to believe it's been 4 months since my BR! Best thing ever!!! No neck or shoulder pain whatsoever! Blessed with a very easy recovery and no complications! Dr Kerner's work was fantastic! Bought my first strapless bra (36DD) to wear with halter maxi dress and got SO many compliments, felt awesome! Still lots of work to do on shaping up the rest of me, but all in good time! Cheers to all my boobie sisters out there!

Hard to believe its been 10 weeks! Loving my boobies and enjoyed not being remotely self conscious at the beach!!! Ended up buying 4 colors of the Cheyenne bras, not cheap but fit me like a glove (34DDD and slimming) and SO soft! I am blessed to have had a very easy recovery! No complications really at all, Dr Kerner did great work! Could not be happier! Posting some pics, Happy July 4th all, God Bless America!

your PS did great work and you did a great job healing, hardly can see your scars after only 10 weeks!!

I am generally happy with the scarring, it was the least of my worries.....I have been doing cocoa butter massage 1-2 times per day since about 5 or 6 weeks, no silicon sheets......

Love your story! It's really helped me to see my boob sisters who are over 30 who are healing like they are in their teens! It's truly helping me get over the " I waited to long, I'm to old " song I was telling myself. Your results are fantastic, you look great and I'm happy for/with you!

Thanks Ava, I had an instant connection with my surgeon and just knew she was going to do great work! I appreciated her honesty about how much she could reduce without compromising shape. I think if I told her I wanted to be a B or C she would hav sent me packing! I truly had the easiest recovery ever! I wish you all the best in August, you'll be SO happy I'm sure!

notsoboobaliciousMay 28, 2013
Got measured at Nordstrom yesterday. 34DDD for now, little bit is swelling remains. PS predicted final size of 36D (similar to 34DD) so I'm close! I was a swished in 34DDD back in my 20s and early 30s, but let me tell ya, they looked nothing like these!!! SO happy!!!

Where did u find the fruit of the loom bra at please share

I did not buy any bras until after surgery. I woke up with a surgical bra on (they fitted me at my pre-op, 3 band sizes higher than my normal) and my sweet hubby would wash my bra and PJs daily for about the first week. After that, there was no oozing of any kind and I had steri strips on, so I didn't wash my bra every day. On day 6 post-op, my friend took me shopping (hubby had gone back to work) and I tried on bras at Walmart. My final size is supposed to be 36D, but I bought a 40D and 38D after surgery. Wore the 40D for about a week (didn't want tightness around incisions) and then transitioned to the the 38D. Hope this helps!

Im still in this surgical braa. And it rubs mmy incisions..i cant stand the way it makes me feel. I doo not know how to use thes maxi pads but im hearing about somt typw of gauze. Help a sista out here. I need more comfort please. Helpppppp!!
May 28, 2013
Do you have steri strips covering incisions or are they uncovered? I had the steri strips on for 4 weeks basically until all the incisions had closed and stitches dissolved. I used gauze for ab out the first week and a half between the bra and steri strips. I had some rubbing, but not too bad. I also like the genie bra (wide band) and got that at Target in a large.

They gave me this surgical bra. First of all the material is breaking me out. Had to wash it. And its ok now. But me and cotton are best friends. Also ii still have the tape on that the PS put on me. She told me to leave it on until today. Which is my doc appointment... She told me at my last appointment that i should be able to go find a comfy bra at nordys today. But the rubbing on my incisions arre driving me crazy. Iv e tried the maxi pade. And thats just a JOKE. OUCH. Never again!!! So what to use
