So Happy I Did It! - San Francisco, CA

I wish I had my before pictures, but unfortunately I don't have them. I'm 39yo 5.3 and 150 lb, still in a process of loosing more. Good thing that I live in SF and we have many European lingerie stores and I was able to find my sizes , but I just got really sick of constant shoulders and back pain. No one seems to understands me. My friends and especially my husband was so against me doing the surgery. One day I said that i will do it no matter what!!! I wish I will be smart enough and will go with my insurance, but somebody told me that insurance company's stop paying for this ( such a bs) but it's already too late and I've paid $14.500 out of the pocket. I know it's really expensive, but I'm so glad ( especially after reading some of the posts from this forum) that I went with the very famous and good doctor!!! God Bless!!! So the story is... My size was 34 H, sometimes 34 I. ( no one ever knew my size, cause I always ashamed) When I was trying 36 H it wasn't holding it right and created more pain. Right now I'm 34 C. My recovery so far is pretty easy. First 3 days straight on Vicodin, then 3 days on ibuprofen. Now God Bless no pain med. I'm still getting tired pretty easy, but getting better every day. The worst thing that happened to me it was constipation!!! The worst EVER, I thought it's my last day alive!!! Eight day post op drove to the grocery store bymyself, got tired pretty quickly and went home. I don't know what else to say ;) ask me if any questions :)))) Easy recovery to everyone :)))

OMG only 15 days... And I've already forgot how painful and uncomfortable was few days after my surgery. Don't get me wrong it's still sometimes uncomfortable, but in a totally different way. I feel much much better. So to day my PS took off my clear bandages ( that I was wearing since day 1) and told me that I can't start using scar creams. I've read some of your recommendations and also did my own research. I choose to go with Mederma PM at night time and scarguard MD at day. Will see how that goes. I was trying to shop for a cute wireless bra, but no luck so far. I have no idea how you guys can take a normal pictures of your breasts cause it's kind of hard for me :) lol

I start using scarguard MD at day time and mederma PM at night. Only second day and I think the difference between last pic and this one is huge. It still pretty painful in the mornings and evenings, but during the day I feel absolutely fine. I went back to work after 2 weeks. I work as a hairstylist at the very busy salon.
