WORTH IT
Silly thing posted before I finished :-) Anyhow I'm sitting here with my right nipple being over active and my left nipple with no feeling . I still have numbness in both breasts underneath . My breasts ache and still have zingers. My scars itch nd it does no good to scratch them because its internal . My sides still have red ropey scars which is what itches the most . I never could sleep on my stomach and still can't. They hurt when I try . I don't regret the . surgery .But I wonder if all this will go away . I still wear a 38 dd. Was hoping for a c or d . But didn't get it . Too bad :( But still better than a g cup. All in all my surgery has been a great success . But the healing takes time and patience . I still recommend it . It completely cured my neck and back pain . So that in itself makes it worth while. Blessings to all who are going in for surgery...waiting to have surgery ... and recovering from surgery . You won't regret it .

I researched PS in my area . I decided on Dr. Lepore after much consideration and his credentials and before and after photos. My breast reduction was April 15 , 2013 . At 2 weeks post-op I m very happy with my results . Dr. Lepore was very caring, and answered all my questions and any concerns I had . My results are beautiful! And I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend him .

I found one of my old bras

I found one of my old bras . I couldn't believe the difference . I tried it on and it was so incredibly big that I smiled all day . Here are a couple of pictures of what I wore and what I wear now .'

You look beautiful! I LOVE the picture of the old bra, crazy what we endured! I hearthat the ropey scars will eventually soften too, silicon strips work best, but massage suppose to help. Blessings sister!
I was allergic to the silicon strips AVA :( And thank you for the compliment.
Awe man, never considered being allergic, I am sensitve to tape/bandaids so I may also be to the strips....
I'm still laughing at the new/old bra comparison. I'm temped to burn my old bras! There is nothing like being on the other side!
I got rid of mine . But I found this one while cleaning out some boxes. The difference in size was so crazy I just had to post them .
You look fantastic!!! I am so happy for you! I am scheduling mine for Jan and am starting to go through peoples stories :) Thank You for sharing.
Thank you Msblue . Best of luck with your surgery . You won't be sorry . Its the best thing I've done for ME :-) :-) :-)
