Hello, i been reading reviews on here for a month or two, debating if i wanted to join in on my journey and i decided to do so...
I am a 29 year old female who been battling with breast since maybe 12 years old, around 16 they just grew out of nowhere to the point where i was going through bras every other month believe it or not. i experienced back pain, severe migraines, posture always curved and feel like why me with these over sized boobs.. I have very low self esteem with these boobs, it draws the wrong attention. I am just over them! after i had my son 7 years ago honestly i don't even know my size, last i check it was a 40 DD- 38 DDD my frame is small and my cups are big, so i was told i have to get bras specially made for me, to be honest i just go in the store and try them on i may go threw 10 to find one that's good enough for me.
P.S. I wasn't sure if i wanted to share my pics, but i am going to do so anyway maybe this will help other bloggers like its helping me. Also you can see the bruising in my shoulders it hurt so bad.

In addition to my original comment ... I am currently 10 weeks post op. I have no feeling to my nipples yet but ... that can take upwards of a year to come back. Small trade off for all the benefits of getting your life back!

Thanks for sharing your photos, in deed your an excellent candidate for breast reduction. It´s even better that you already breast feed.. This takes an inverted T to do an optimal breast reduction, still there's always even in the most expert hand in every reduction the risk of nipple necrosis (5%cases). But still the results will be very pleasing, I suggest that before you do a breast reduction do a mammogram to ensure everything is ok. Any questions Im glad to answer... Best regards!

Pre-Op Today

So I was nervous today I went to my appointment and went to admissions to pre register for my surgery that was a piece of cake, then I went to the office where they took my weight, height and bra size of course I don't know, the lady told me the surgeon will take measurements the day of, anywho she takes my pressure and measured my neck I started laughing about my neck I forgot to ask what was the purpose for it. Next they asked me my medical history blood pressure, allergic to medications,any past surgeries,then family history as well. That went pretty good the nurse then came in listen to my lungs and what's funny she recently has a reduction by the doctor I am having do mines so of course I asked all types of questions.. she told me it's take 3 weeks to fully heal she said a week in a half to 2 she was jogging I don't think that will be me lol. Anyway she said it will itch alot and to get a aloe vira plant and rub the gel on me it will help the process heal quicker then she told me I would be fine she was high off meds flashing everyone and that this will be the best decision I ever made and that I need to wear flip flops or slippers since it's summer because it's gonna be tuff to tie my shoes. Then she came me some liquid wash to wash up with half the night before and the other half the morning of surgery oh and I can't eat or drink after midnight beings tho I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am and my surgery at 7:30am and I am going to be out for four hours. I have to stay over night and have drains placed and removed in the am when I go home.
I am so nervous but excited at the sametime.

How exciting for you that you are having a breast reduction! I am in the process of interviewing plastic surgeons in the DC area and based on the reviews I've seen I am considering Dr. Otero for my breast reduction as well. She has great reviews but no "before and after" photos I can find. Thank you for posting your photos. I hope you'll post your results as that would be extremely helpful. Best of luck!

Thanks!.. Yes I am extremely excited and nervous, took me along time to get to this point years actually.. I was very nervous with her but after talking to her I made the decision to go with her her presence was just so comforting to me, no pressure, no rush and in my own time. She answered all questions and concerns and didn't rush out the room with me. Yes I will definitely post photos as soon. As I can I know I am going to be in a great amount of pain maybe a day or two after I will. Best of luck on your journey I will continue to update.

Okay ladies as the time gets close I am starting to get a little nervous and excited I literally 4 more days u till my BIG DAY..i could literally cry tears of joy right now.. I just been cleaning up around my place I believe I have OCD lol.. and buying water and little things I know I probably need.. My only concern us not caring for my son how I would like too.. but he will get to see me, but not everyday like I would like too.. he is 7 I tried to explain to him mommy having surgery..of course he wants to know why, and was sad.. but I told him it will help mommy feel better and I can do more fun stuff with him..so he a little better now.. I will continue to update my journey talk to y'all soon.
.. my back pain was gone for the first time in my life since abiut age 12. My posture has since improved as well. The pain in my neck and shoulders ... is gone completely. Headaches I always battled are also gone. They are even, a true DD, lifted and I feel amazing. All my clothing fits. I can wear things I only ever dreamed of wearing (strapless maxi dresses, little cite flowy tank tops .... basically everything really because I didn't feel the need to hide myself under layers) for the first time of my life I actually wore a shirt sleeve top at my place of employment. My confidence has improved probably by about 45% at this time. I never used to wear capri pants because my chest was so large and I just felt off everytime I tried to make an outfit work. I wore a pair with a cute dress tank top to work just last week for the first time. Everyone has been support, loving and kind towards me. My surgeon was based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba and he was great to deal with. Explained the process and procedure, was calming me during my emotional meltdown laying on the hospital bed getting IV and allowed me to email him with photos and questions as my post op healing carried on (I live 2 hours away from him) I go back for my final post op follow up the end of June (this is the 3rd follow up) there is one small correction that likely needs to be made as a piece of my skin was not firmly and tightly sutures properly while being operated on. Sooo, a big concern of mine but he went over it with me last follow up and made it seem like no big deal to fix. So here's to hoping. Overall ... if you are hesitant in anyway ... take the leap. Start thinking about everything you can finally do that you never could before. I went for my first run of my life a few weeks ago. I feel confident enough to attend a gym. I feel confident enough to wear a swim suit! And that's a big one for me as we travel to the Caribbean once a year. And I have always been mortified of the beach and being seen. Always wearing shorts and a tee shirt over my bathing suit top. And bathing suits tying behind the neck always killed me because they would cut into my skin from the weight. Take the leap and go for it. You will never ever regret your decision.
