It's been so long!
WORTH IT$13,000
I wanted to quickly hop on and share some updated photos. I am still very pleased with the results, though I wish they were a bit smaller. The scars aren't too bad - I am grateful that my PS helped me with scar and wound care and was really helpful with making sure I didn't keloid. Here are some updated photos!
I know a lot of people update and never come back, so please let me know if you have any questions or want to chat about the whole experience.

Quick Update + Photos
It's been a minute since I swung by and said hello! I wanted to share a couple of photos and see how everyone is doing. I think my scars have healed really well, but I have a little bit of redness around the left nipple still. I am pleased with the size and shape and I have mostly regained all sensation. There are a few places that feel numb at times but things are pretty much back to normal. :-) Hope everyone is well!

Good evening! I just came across your profile and you look awesome! I'm pretty OCD and used to be in the Navy, so I'm a perfectionist at times too, and you are on point. I mean right down to your areola being centered on your nipple. You look awesome!
I'm currently a 30GG, 5'2, 120-125lbs, so pretty petite and need to get rid of these breasts of mine! Haha As you did, I'm struggling with size. I don't want to do this twice. I think a C cup would be perfect, but my hubby is thinking because my small back, that I would be too small and end up hating my chest afterwards. He wants a DD (which I say is out of the question), so with me wanting a C, he says let's settle in the middle with a D. One of your posts, I believe said you were wearing a D cup. Have you finished healing by now and think you know your final cup size? I hear it can take up to a year. I read in earlier posts, you were unhappy with your size, but now you are accepting it and seem happier by the sounds of it? Your size seems perfect!
I also noticed you went through insurance. The second time around with new insurance, you were approved pretty quickly. Did you have medical documentation sent in with the request or were you approved with your PS's request with pics? I've been going to a pain management specialist for the past 2 months or so, getting lidocaine injections in my back every other week, going to physical therapy 2x a week, I have this crazy back brace you would see movers wear, a stimulator machine and some back numbing cream. I also have at least 5 years of medical documentation if needed. I'm hoping my insurance sees this as a medical necessary procedure and not cosmetic. Hopefully I get approved as quickly as you did. I'm hoping to have my reduction in October, fingers crossed.
Thanks again for sharing your journey! You look great! Have a great night. Laura

What size are you at now? I am about 5 weeks post op and having high anxiety about size. I too asked for full B small C at the very most. Right now they seem HUGE and i cannot imagine them ever getting down to a B of any kind not even small C. With clothes they look ok but when i start taking update photos i just stop because i hate what i see. Large boobs. I was a large F before and i think now im 36D which to me is an actual nightmare. Im literally hanging on ur story for hope.

PS my surgeon doesnt know what size ill be. First time he looked at them and said uuum probably large C. No explanation as to why not what I asked for. Next appointment he looked again and said hummm u wanted a B? Um looks like a small C, maybe. So i cant go by what he says coz hes just looking at them and guessing. Which is what im driving myself crazy doing.

4 months post-op
Hi all! It's been a whirlwind couple of months! I can't believe I hit the four month mark. I saw my PS for my final post op yesterday and she said my healing has been textbook and she is super pleased. I still have moments where I think they are too big, but even in the past month there has been a noticeable decrease in swelling. Just be patient! I have gained about 5 pounds since surgery and feel like that goes right to the boobs, too! I hope everyone is happy and well. :-)
