9 Month review and dog ears gone

WORTH IT$24,006
So I had my small dog ears removed around 3 weeks ago, this was done in the same place where I had my reduction done, it was sore for about 1 week after and scars are longer now, but I feel happier as I don't have the sticky out bit, my surgeon did the revision free of charge, and really did not hurt much, think I'm finally at my size and I am happy I just need to get my arse in gear and lose the excess weight I have gained since the surgery around 8lb I am still a 36C although I think they look bigger, still wish I had gone a little smaller but if I lose the weight they may? But yes I would do it again and although the the most scary thing in my life, it has been the most life changing thing my confidence has grown so much, and I get comments from men now but at last it is about my beauty and not my boobs :-)

Hiya, you look great 8 months post. I'm glad you got the dog ears tended to. May as well hey, in for a penny, in for a pound. I'm at nearly 7 months p.o. Do you think the redness either side of the vertical scar and under the boob scars will ever fully go?! The thin white incision scars are looking great (like yours) but that redness is persisting :-(

Hi ya yes so glad I had the dog ears done and it really wasn't too bad, I have some thick scars under neath and like you not sure if they will ever go, I will be seeing my surgeon on the 13th June so I will ask him and let you know sometimes most of the scars are hardly visible but when I have a hot shower etc they look obvisous did you get dog ears?
May 29, 2017
No dog ears (maybe just luck of the draw).
Nipple sensation is probably about 30% diminished though.
I still have to say i am 100% glad I had the surgery.

My dog ears wearing bad but I thought I might as well get rid of them the scar is a little longer now but not bad, I never used to have any nipple sensation now I do but more in one side than the other, I love not wearing under wire bras I have only worn one 2 times since the surgery and hated it, just bought a load of new cute bras from Next online they are the Daisy collection so pretty love being smaller and not center of attention because of my boobs I now sit back and watch others have the comments and so pleased it's not me anymore! I think our scars will fade in time if I find out anything about the thick scars I will let you know x

Hi I'm delighted for you that you feel happier now. I would be interested to see the photos of your dog ears as I can't see any. All the photos you post look nothing short of perfection. I had my surgery just over 4 months ago and I'm so pleased, but I seem to have lost all nipple sensation , whereas I had great sensation before. I too have a scar thats thicker under my left breast and causes me discomfort from time to time. Seeing surgeon on 1st July. I too have gained 8lbs and I'm Gutted .. but I at least don't look twice as big since the Giant G's have gone.

Advise go a size smaller than you want

toobigboobies
OH ladies I forgot to say if your wondering should I go a c cup or d cup, my advise is go a size smaller i.e. C cup, I asked for a large c small d which is what I got, but at first they felt very small then as they start to settle they feel too big, I also put on 7lb due to not exercising for 6 months after the operation so I think they may be a bit bigger than I wanted, don't get me wrong I love them, but scared as I get older if they will grow again, as I wouldn't want to go through this again in my lifetime, so if you are wondering c or d cup go for the smaller option as you can always add padding but you can't take away without surgery?

I am trying to decide how small to go without looking out of balance. Currently overflowing my 38DD's and am considering going to a B cup... I am 5'5 and my weight fluctuates (boobs stay same but band size goes down to 36) anywhere from 160lbs-180lbs... size 10-14. I want to be comfortable no matter where on the weight spectrum I am at. Will likely be right in middle of spectrum when I have surgery in 2 months. Don't want to be at my ideal weight when I have it done for fear of ruining them with that dreaded weight fluctuation of mine... worried a C will still feel to big.... would love to know what you think after your journey... your results look amazing!!!

Hi good luck with your surgery, you are a little taller than me, I am currently 150lb was 140lb I am a size 10-12USA or 14-16UK I really fluctuate with my weight too, because I have gained 6lb since surgery I feel like I might be a little bigger in the boobs because of it, I wish I had asked for a perfect c, try looking at pictures of boobs you would wish for but also remember your body type might need to be a little more curvy? Hope this helps and good luck

I want to go as small as possible. But my consultant is reluctant to go smaller than a D (UK size) I'm currently a 32HH but he says that as I've wide breasts I'd end up very flat as a C.
March 16, 2017
Try to ask for a large c he should go with what you want, I really do wish I had gone for a small c, I was measured in UK and they say I am a 36C, yes I can understand what he means as from the side I look quite flat but from the front I still think they look big, if you really want to be small then insist he makes them a c cup, I think surgeons worry that you are used to having large breasts that you might get upset if you don't have any? Good luck and let me know how you go on.

Hi, when I look at photos of you, I see we are very similar in shape and size. My issue now I'm 8 weeks post op is that I have gained a few lbs and it seems it's gone to my back which is creating bra bulge at the sides. Did you find you had this issue but after your weight loss and reduced swelling that went away .
April 9, 2017
Hi I still haven't lost the weight but starting a new healthy eating tomorrow, yes I see a lot of fat under my armpits and back, but i am having my very small dog ears sorted wednesday so that might even things out a little and with some weight loss i hope i will finally be happy? x

6 month review

toobigboobies
Hello ladies, hope all the ladies that had there breast reduction around the time I did are doing well, it is so strange how before the surgery and. The 6 weeks after this site is the most important thing in your life, then all of a sudden life goes on, but there is not a day goes by where I regret my breast reduction surgery, it is the opposite of that not a days goes by where I don't look at my breasts and realized how lucky I am to not only have had a good surgeon but good results, my boobs are not perfect and sometimes my scars still shock me, yet other day they are not noticeable, I love my life with smaller boobs, I have been able to go without a bra on many occasions and I love that my nipples stick out all the time so sexy, my scars still hurt, and I have only just started to sleep without a bra the last couple of weeks if I sleep on my side, now my boobs are soft they move like normal boobs but the right hand side pulls my scar so sometimes have to wear a night bra, if I look in a mirror and hold my shoulders back with good posture they look amazing, if I put my shoulders forward they are a little boxy, the scars are fading but if I have a hot shower they go very pink! I have to go back to my surgeon in 5 weeks for a few more stitches as under my armpits I have a slight sticky out bit, I think they call this dog ears? Not bad but more noticeable when I raise my arms, I think it needs a bit more lips too so I am going to phone and ask tomorrow, I wanted to do a 6 month update and I can't believe I am at that already time goes quick girls, the first 4 weeks drag as you are going through so much pain and worry, but OMG would I do it again in a heartbeat the answer is YES! Scars will fade but life with big boobs is forever, take the chance do your research, find the best and if he doesn't do insurance or you can't get insurance wait and find the money, if you get the right surgeon you will get the right results, worth the wait or the money.

totally agree- you can tell you are so confident now. im so nervous but I NEED this. Loved reading your story- it gave me hope. you look FANTASTIC

Hello great to read your update as I've been following your story. You look amazing! Well, I finally had my BR (in the UK) just over a week ago. I got the small size I wanted. A 32C. It's a shock as they are still at the squashed flat stage. I know in time they will drop and fluff out at the bottom giving me a better teardrop shape.
April 9, 2017
Oh congratulations, don't worry they will change shape so much over the next few months I felt very flat too from the side but trust me you will be so happy once you get used to them and they take on a natural shape. I do wish i had gone to a c cup, but hoping some weightloss will get them there I would say i am currently more a D cup than C, hope the healing goes well take it easy and in about 3 months you will love them! xx
April 11, 2017
Thank you! I think I will end up a 32D / 34C.
You story has helped me lots. Thanks again!!

So glad my story helped you and glad that I did a my story, hope your healing well and happy
