I was sick of my ginormous boobies getting in the way. I have been on a fitness kick, running 5k's, lifting weights and doing Zumba. I just had my procedure on 7/19/16 and I feel amazing. I haven't had hardly any pain. I highly recommend it to anyone who is well endowed in the breast department. I have to keep the wraps and drains till my follow up on 7/25/16. I will keep you updated on my progress!!!

Welcome to the community.  How did the appointment go on the 25th.  Would love to know what you think now with the bandages off.

I had a complication on the evening of the 23rd. I had internal bleeding and the on call surgeon told me to head for the hospital so he could fix the bleed. Everything went well and I am very happy with the results.

I had a complication on the 23rd and was rushed into surgery to fix the problem. I was bleeding internally. I am very happy with the results and have had very minimal pain, the whole time.

Free nipple graft

jazzyelle77
Since my surgeon agreed to go very small, he advised that free nipple grafts would work the best for me. I started with 1500 grams per breast and my insurance was very specific in the amount they would cover to be removed. They specified that amount had to be over 900 grams per breast. My surgeon explained my breasts would be small and perky and that I won't need a bra. I also plan on loosing weight, so my breasts will still look good when I do!!
Since I have the free nipple grafts, I'm not allowed to shower for 2 weeks. I have been getting my hair washed at Great Clips for $5 and taking sponge baths.

Thank you for the Great Clips idea. I was wondering how I could get hair washed since I have no helpers at home.

If you don't mind me asking, who is your insurance provider. I'm so worried about my insurance making remove do many grams. The hair salon is an amazing idea!
