I was in 5th grade and was wearing a tube top...
WORTH IT$15,000
I was in 5th grade and was wearing a tube top during the summer and realized everybody was staring at my chest when I realized I was bigger busted than anyone else I knew in my school. It made me uncomfortable as I got involved in sports and had to wear expensive compression bras to stabilize and hide my 38DDD/F bustline that I inherited from my mother and grandmother. The neck and back pain, constant rashes, chaffing and Ill fitting tops have finally made me go get a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Dr. Laurence Yeung at Group Health Seattle was professional and informative. He took the necessary photos and did the exam and agreed I would benefit from a breast reduction. The insurance approved it in less than a month and I went and scheduled the surgery for next Wednesday. I waited 5 months to schedule the operation so I could fully research the procedure so I feel confident in my choice to proceed. I am a dental hygienist and hairdresser and took 2 1/2 weeks off of dental work and 4 weeks off from doing hair. I bought the post op surgical wrap/binder my Dr. Recommended, filled my RX for Tramadol for pain relief ( I don't tolerate codeine) and I'm ready to go. I will be getting drains and I hope to get to a C or small D. If he can get me smaller, I would be happy with that. Future posts to come!

I too am a hygienist. I had my surgery on 10/6; so I took of 16 days. My first day back to work was last Thursday. I did my full day and saw all 8 patients. The one thing I didn't think of was reaching up for the light. I did fine, but did adjust myself throughout the day. I pulled the light lower and stood up a bit instead of reaching with my arm. I did great though and the only people who knew were the patients I told it was happening. My boss didn't even know what I did. The final straw that confirmed I was making the right decision was when I was working on a patient, at the 12' o'clock position and I looked down and my boob was sitting on his forhead when I leaned in. Thankfully he had dementia; otherwise I would have joked about it and said "there is your happy ending". It was horrible and I knew that day I had made the correct decision. I was only scared about the amount being removed and my final size. I don't do codeine either, but tried to do Percocet (I knew better). My first 36 hours were spent vomiting and miserable. I couldn't sleep except for a few minutes, but the pain was somewhat manageable; kind of. I took Tylenol, but didn't keep it down except maybe for an hour or two. It did get better though and I just kept taking them. Feel free to message me privately or ask any questions you may want to. Now that my pics are all over this site I am not sure anything needs to be "private". Good luck on Tues. I will be 3 weeks post op that day. Take a look at the befores and afters you will be amazed. I know you will be thrilled. I am still so amazed. I am 51 and have DD 15 year old boobs. OMG
