Looking good! I'll be a year in the 24th this month. Your breast at early on stage looked a lot like mine did. I curious did you ever get any space between your breasts? Can you wear a underwire bra comfortably? I still can't because my girls are too close together. I still feel very wide. What size did you end up? I still a 38DD and sometimes a DDD! All because they are wide. I am going back under for additional reduction in 2 weeks. Dr is going to do aggressive lipo on my breasts I hopes of thinning them down some.

I definitely have space between them. I can wear underwire but I wouldn't say it's too comfortable. I do feel wide on the sides. Sometimes I wish I would have gone smaller but most of the time I don't. I still wear a D cup (probably bc of the width too). Good luck with the lipo. Let us know how it goes. :)

Wow a second BA. I hope everything goes well. My breast seem wide mainly because the technique he used. It's still really early I wonder if I will have trouble with bras?

So from reading your review..... I understood that Eric Minns was your doctor in the beginning but changed your mind after you went to the preop? Who ended up being your surgeon? Not sure I caught the name.

I'm wondering who your provider ended up being? Minns is covered under my insurance but I called and they wouldn't give me any before and after pictures either so I'm thinking he was your initial PS? I wold love to know who you ended up going with.

Still feeling that my BR was a great decision! I feel NORMAL! I can put a bra and shirt on and go! No more feeling like I need a sports bra over my bra. No more feeling like people are staring at my boobs and no more back pain!! My husband Loves my boobs and so do I. My scars don't bother me at all!! I would do it all over again! :)
I actually had a friend that got hers done after she saw how pleased I am with mine! She is happy with her decision too!
I am going to post pics tonight!

I had Bluecross Blueshield at the time. No, you don't have to be in Texas. I did have to meet my deductible first though.

Your plastic surgeon could probably answer those questions better. Everyone is different.

Sorry I've been MIA but the holidays and sick kids...

Sorry I've been MIA but the holidays and sick kids had my very occupied! I plan to post pics this week.
I'm so happy that I had my br done! I feel like a new woman. My scars are minimal and don't bother me at all! My new boobs are wonderful! They aren't too big and not too small. Every now and then I wish they were smaller but mostly glad they aren't because it would not fit well with my body type. Im pretty proportionate now and it's great! I'm no longer insecure when I'm out and about and I feel amazing! No back pain! And I sleep so good now. My boobs don't bump onto things an knock them over any more!
If you are thinking about getting this done, I would go for it!

Dr. Minns did my br 1 week ago. I'm thrilled to have done it. Could you post some fu pics so I can see how the scars are. He only did the lollipops on mine, but I'm still curious.
