Steri-Strips
Got out of the shower to see that my strips are peeling!!! I took a couple strips off of my right nipple to see how they're doing, and they're doing great! When did you ladies get your strips off if you had any?

I just had my strips taken off and I'm two weeks post op, but I plan on keeping them taped to reduce scaring
That's what I thought! I'll let mine come off a little more before I try and take these off, just for reducing scarring.

Stitches Trimmed, New Steri-Strips in Place!
My recovery is going really well. Had my last check up with Doctor Johnson, she was great! She checked to see if I needed my stitches trimmed, and I did not, so she slapped some new Steri-Strips and now I'm good to go! I don't have much feeling on the sides of my breasts, but everywhere else I have a lot of feeling! It's great!! As soon as these strips are off I'll post pictures of my new boobs. :)

Looking good. Happy healing n thanx for sharing your journey!
They look amazing! Beyond amazing. Honestly the best breast reduction I've seen on this site so far. The size your doctor was able to achieve is my dream size. I think I'm around the same size you were before your reduction which makes me very hopeful that my results could be similar. I was just wondering if your doctor ever described your breast tissue as "dense." I was also curious to know how much fat your doctor took out of each breast. I hope your recovery is going well :-)
I'm also assuming insurance covered the majority of the costs, since you have $200 listed as the cost. I know insurance coverage varies based on carrier, but was your claim approved right away, or did you have to appeal after it was denied. Thank you so so so much for answering my questions.
She did!!! They are dense, and they took about 300 grams from my left and 500 from my right! My girls were pretty uneven before. I'm not at a 34B from the looks of it, and it's so great. I went without a bra (to give myself a break from a sports bra) and I felt so free!!! You are absolutely welcome to use my pictures as reference for your surgeon. She also used the lollipop incisions, and it's great.
It was $200 only because I have Kaiser, which is a California cheap health care. Lol! It was for outpatient costs. My job actually has really good insurance, so I didn't have to pay for the actual surgery, and as soon as I let my Gyny know that I had back problems because of the girls, she immediately contacted Plastic Surgery, and I was approved. I might be super lucky though.
Thanks so so much! My surgeon also said she would use the lollipop method on me, and i was worried at first because I had only seen the anchor, but after seeing your results I am thoroughly convinced it is the way to go. I can't wait to go braless!! Once again, thank you so much!
There's so much less scarring with Lollipop. I love it, and you will too!!! Good luck on your procedure!!!
Thank you :-)
So informative I'm in the process also but my insurance is giving me a hard time
