I was the one who was the late bloomer. Suddenly, after high school, I was becoming a 34DDD cup and just never stopped growing until my last bra size, before my reduction, was at 36I. I am only 5'3". I had a baby 10 months ago and only breastfed a month and that caused the most sagging, I think. They were already heavy and dense to begin with, with some sagging. Pumping milk definitely deflated them and made them feel so mushy from squeezing the to help get the milk out. Thinking about it now makes me cringe. It was time for a Mommy Makeover!
I had my procedure done yesterday at North York General Hospital by Dr. Sean Rice. What can I say?! They look so perky and round, which is so exciting/surreal to see! They took pff over 4lbs of fat and tissue! Full recovery is 6 weeks and scars lighten up to a year. Obviously, everyone is different in healing. I had the lollipop method done. Some blood pooling is normal and I am wearing "saran wrap" style bandaids over the stitches until my followup appointment in 6 days. They are definitely lifted nicely.
I have a lot of pain on the sides from the additional liposuction procedure I elected to do (paid a little over $2400 for it - I recommend you do this in addition to the breast reduction for a slimmer, complete look). Dr. Rice came by afterwards when I was in the recovery area to check on me. He is a really talented surgeon, and was highly recommended by a coworker, who had the procedure done by him. He genuinely cares about his work.
My only complaint was when I was getting ready to be discharged and a nurse (or perhaps an aid) was being quite aggressive in helping me get the bra on and I had to remind her to get some thick dressings for cushioning underneath the bra. She was very rough, almost neurotic, in handling me and I yelped "owww" at one point as she was buttoning up the front closure of the bra. She was over-caffeinated or in a rush. I had to adjust the bra at home because the cups weren't even covering my whole breast, and pressing onto the stitches. Ouch! Otherwise, this was the best decision I have ever made for my posture, confidence, and overall well-being. Do not hesitate to have this surgery if you have back pain, discomfort, and general "dis-ability" to get things done like exercise and everyday tasks.
Oh yeah, just an oddity I forgot to point out - in the recovery guidelines, no where does it suggest to do any icing. I assumed ice packs could be helpful to reduce swelling and pain, especially on the sides from the lipo. The sides from the liposuction hurt way more than the actual breast incisions! I am prescribed Oxycotin and take it every 6 hours as needed, and also given antibiotics to prevent infection.
Overall, I am so relieved it is over and looking forward to a brand new beginning with my smaller, perky boobs! Good luck, ladies!!!
