Starting Scar Gel
crzysexykwlApril 27, 2017
WORTH IT$9,750
I can't believe it's been 6 weeks. On one hand, it feels like I've had these beauties forever! On the other hand, it doesn't seem like that long ago that I was prepping for my glorious surgery day! I'm starting scar gel mostly for my incisions at the breast fold, but I'll also be putting some of the gel on my vertical incisions. My doctor carries Silagen, but he said any silicone based product would be fine. So I saved myself a few bucks and went to Walgreens to buy ScarAway. I will say it's STICKY lol. But I'll keep you all updated on how it works! Life with my new girls has been absolutely astounding. I've been given the go ahead to get back into the gym. I'm excited to drop even more weight! I'm down about 15 pounds since the surgery! Woo hoo!

Final Costs
crzysexykwlApril 8, 2017
I just received the statements from my insurance company. The surgery totaled just under $30,000 before insurance. This includes the bill from the surgeon, the bill from the surgery center, and the bill from the anesthesiologist. After insurance, I'm responsible for just over $600. I'm so incredibly happy and pleased!!!!!! :-D

Thank you for your story. I'm planning to have a breast reduction in less than a month and I am already going through some of the emotional pains you mentioned. I've always had big breast and they've always covered my flabby stomach. My concern is when they're gone, I won't feel myself. Reading your experience is helpful. However, I'm still a bit nervous. Do u mind if I ask how much you weigh preop?
I'm 56 and 180-185 with a 36j cup. It appears like all booob, but once it's gone, my stomach will protrude. I'm getting nervous just thinking about t.

Hi Nicole! I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this!! I'm 5'6" and 25 years old. At the time of my surgery, I weighed about 260/265. It was very shocking and difficult at first, but it only took me a couple of days to get over it and be grateful for all of the positives! And it's been great motivation for me to lose weight as well. I hope this helps!

Finally Feeling Amazing
crzysexykwlApril 4, 2017
It's been an excellent few weeks since my surgery. Fun things since my surgery: 1. When I bend over and stand back up, my boobs are still in my bra!!!!! 2. When I shower, I don't have to lift up my breasts to clean under them. 3. When I cross my arms, there's actually space between my arms and my breasts. 4. My palm covers up more than just my nipples, haha. When I lay down on my back, I can see over my breasts. 5. My back and neck pain are a distant, distant forgotten about nightmare. It took awhile for me to get used to my new body, but I'm loving it! I went to Victoria's Secret to get sized. My breasts haven't stopped swelling or fully shaped out yet, so I know this isn't final, but I'm fitting into a 36DD/38D. Prior to the surgery I was a 40H. I've also lost almost 10 pounds since the surgery, and I think that's helped a lot with my self-confidence. Random side note, I'm also starting to be able to sleep on my side. Not fully, but kind of propped up on my side. Last, but not least, pictures attached!

I somehow missed these photos when you first posted them. Way to go girl, you look wonderful! I'm so happy that you are now appreciating your surgery.

Thanks you!! I'm happy too. It's a MUCH better feeling than hating what you look like, haha.
