For years my back and neck has killed me. Body...
WORTH IT
For years my back and neck has killed me. Body issues and self confidence have been a problem along with people believing that I am a slu*. Psychologically it's been difficult on me. So hopefully, with this surgery those problems will be resolved! I wanted to go down to a 32C, but insurance has to get at least 500 g removed from each breast. My surgeon told me I will end up being a 32B most likely. This will be a strange and difficult journey, but will be well worth it in the end!

Day 19 of Post-op Recovery
I had my first post-op appointment today and my surgeon said everything looks great! He did say that he told his residents that he would've liked to only take 400g from each breast instead of 500g. But he says they look better than he thought they would! The glue has been sticking to my bra and peeling so he told me I could finally start taking it off and apply tape. I'm very happy with my results! I just wish I could sleep on my tummy :( how did you all cope with laying on your backs?

Wow! Lucky you - your PS gave you a great size they look good! I have been making a pillow fort around myself - seriously. One on each side and i found that by about 4 weeks thisblet me sleep on my side a bit. Am 14 weeks out and still not comfortable to sleep on my tummy - it's hard but am getting used to it. At least getting some good night's sleep now with the pillow fort :)

One day from 6 weeks po!!
Sorry it's been so long! My semester just started and I've been fairly busy. So far I am very happy with my results! I do have shooting pain sometimes, but not often. I am so pleased that the scars aren't very wide and look so great! I am having some itchiness under my breasts and small amount of drainage from my nipples. I'm pretty sure this is normal so I'm not worried :)

You look great! This is exactly want I wanted... I went in as a 34f and came out a 34 d. I wanted to be a 34 b so I'm really not happy. My doctor only took our 230 each side whic wasn't enough. I need a revision to get to be where you are and I'm not too happy about that. So happy all worked out for you so well!

They're amazing!! I'm 17 in the UK and hoping to get a reduction on the NHS
Could you possibly post a picture with a T-shirt on post op? Or a full length? I'd love to see what they look like in proportion to the rest of your body so I can get a feel for what size I definitely want to settle on
Congrats on the recovery!!
