WORTH IT$8,000
So far met the doctor and scheduled surgery. Currently 38DDD, 180 pounds and 5'7". Shoulders are dented and hurt daily. Weight of my breasts make me slouch. Been large all my life, but I have grown in the last several years. I exercise regularly, but lately, breasts hurt too much and I am having trouble being as consistent with exercise. I bought heavy duty sports bra and it seems to help but still hurts my shoulders.
So far all the staff in the office are very nice.

Two more weeks before surgery! Nervous a little, but optimistic. So tired of the weight on my shoulders and on my chest when I lay down. I think about it every day. Bras are so uncomfortable. I plan on taking 3 weeks off for surgery. Doctor said 2 to 4 weeks. I decided not to push myself and go back to work too soon. I'll see how I feel and can always go back early if I feel great.

Dr. Hardesty just did my breast lift. I had explanted very large silicon implants before meeting with him. My breasts were a sagging mess. Let me say, Dr. Hardesty is an artist! He did a fantastic job on me, I am so pleased. He even pulled all my arms pit fat into my newly shaped breasts. Going from DDD to B cup has changed me life. I can run without bounce, sleep on my side and belly, wear tiny little button down tops--- and even though I only lost a little bit of weight, everyone thinks I am suddenly super fit. We don't realize that giant boobs add a lot of weight visually and also they are very aging. You will love your perky new breasts!!! Good luck on your surgery, you are in great hands.

Thank you so much. It's good to hear about Dr. Hardesty's skills. It helps me to believe it is worth putting myself through this. I'm looking forward to getting this done! It's hard to pick a doctor.

I'm about the same fit body wise and getting a reduction in the same day! I'm very nervous but very excited to be able to live more comfortably. I've always been busty and shoulder and back pain have always been my every day norm. Can't wait to see what comfort is really like. Good luck!

Good luck to you too! I can't wait to wear a shirt without it pulling in front!

Saw the doctor for my pre-op consultation. Went very well. Dr. Hardesty is very nice and takes the time to answer your questions. Staff has always been very nice. They took pictures and went over my medical history. I can't wait to get this done!!!! I am very optimistic. SOOO tired of this extra weight and discomfort. Back is hurting a lot today. Hoping I won't need drains :)
