WORTH IT$12,000
Had my final appointment with my PS and simply over the moon. My whole experience has been amazing and just so grateful to him. I just received my order from Herroom ( thank goodness the deliver to Australia) and I am wearing a 36 C. I wanted a looser band for a bit and bought wireless bras. There is a great selection. I am allowed to wear any bra but I will stick with wireless fora bit. Going for a run tomorrow and cannot wait! The scars look great and I know will fade in time. Just so happy!! It's now back to my normal life with awesome boobs! Bring on summer.

Just checking to say all is going very well. This last week I had to remind myself I had surgery. I find not exercising very frustrating as I have put on weight . I have been walking 5 kms a day however I have started to add some pace. I am still extremely cautious about lifting however everything else is fine.
I have started taking iron as I normally have very low iron levels and I am sure it's helping with energy levels. Cannot wait till the 28/8 to see my PS and get the all clear.
My tape has not fallen off so have not had to reapply either.
Got a few new Coobie bras and they look super cute and can wear them now. Cannot believe my boobs are so perky! Just love them.

When I went in his lovely nurse told she had a BR years ago however before she worked with him. She told me she wishes he had done it as he is amazing. Cannot wait to see him at the end of the month and get the all clear.

Just wanted to update for those here in Australia I got a rebate from my PHI of $450. So all up between Medicare and PHI I have had a rebate of $1780.
So out of pocket I am $9348.00 and its worth every cent. I adore my boobs and they are only getting better as the swelling keeps going down.
I still do not have a pathology bill however.
I am back at work and feeling okay. I take things slowly however to be honest I feel better being at work that not doing anything. I am getting shooting pains at times however my PS did tell me that is normal. Swelling is really decreasing and my tape has not come off at all which is great. I am so glad its winter so you cannot tell through my white work shirt the ugly bra's I am wearing. I am looking forward to buying new ones which I plan to do after my 6 week check up. I did ask my PS what I would be able to wear and he said ANYTHING yay!

Congratulations. You are looking fabulous. I paid for my reduction and yes, it was worth every penny. May I ask where about in Australia are you? My daughter moved to Australia earlier this year. She is in the Sydney area. So far she loves it there, but she is not loving the cold weather. lol. She is a true Florida girl.

I am in Sydney and about 7 kms from downtown, The winters here are colder than Florida! I actually lived in NYC for 5 years (back now one year) and that was a shock when winter hit! Thankfully our winter is nearly over then our summers are pretty hot! We went down to Disneyworld one year during the holiday break and of course it was a year Orlando had a big cold snap. So it was freezing walking through the parks LOL but still so much better than NYC.In saying that I love NYC and so sad we moved back.
