Hello I am officially 1 Month today???? I am super excited, but I am having alot of nerve shock from being cut and sometimes this burning sensation which is annoying, but other then that My boobies are healing nicely but not healed underneath it's very irritating and itchy so my doctor gave me a prescription for some medi-honey and for healing I will pick that up from Wal-Mart tomorrow, I been lazy and suppose to been get it. I more confident to post my pictures hope you all are enjoying my journey..and if you have any doubts on rather to get it done or not don't do it untill you are confident took me years and I made the best decision ever, I wasn't forced or pressure at all.. anywho I also brought some Green Tea Oil for the organic market it's been working wonders and some A&D ointment I already had other then that 2 more weeks I can actually go bra shopping I am excited never seen my boobs sit so high without a bra, and also they are getting a tear drop shape also known as the natural state. I had 500cc's taken out of each breast it feels like a pound of potatoes been taken off my chest. My goal wasn't to be small, but a size to go with my frame I wanted juicy boobs,but not heavy so here the pics ladies ????

Hey ladies I go every week for my follow up post op to make sure everything is looking well and so far so good.. actually healing pretty fast and well.. I am able to wear sports bras which I am excited about I was tired of smelling like a hospital. I still use the yellow tape to take my nipples and the other areas they don't want it wrapped up but want me to use either vitamin D or cocoa butter for the itching which been really bad and i have scabs because I am healing fast. Other then that I been feeling nice barely no pain actually since day 3 no pain best decision I ever made and I have not 1 regret. Happy healing ladies..pics coming soon.. Oh the nurse saying I am around a C cup excited about that

Went to my appointment today and I tell you my boobs was itching so badly I wanted to scratch so bad lol... I am healing quite well, and have swellen. I was able to sleep on my stomach I woke up like that I was scared because I was freaken out like how did this happen..i have no pain or nothing what's so ever believe it or not I am just taking pain meds at 11:30 pm tonight because a little discomfort from the healing from the drains that was pulled since its still open. I am so surprised that I am barely in pain and I have to admit reading stories on here I am not experiencing none of them symptoms or pain everyone is having around my time frame and I am just 6 days post op... best decision I had made can't wait for the swellen to go down so I can try on bras she said I won't know until it goes down and try different sizes on... Oh and I am able to put cream on it I am going to get a aloe Vera plant. Happy healing ladies

I always wanted a reduction it was a goal of mines, so March 29,2017 i have my 1st consultation appointment with Dr.Susan Otero. I was a nervous wreck to be honest, and plus the room was cold my boobs was freezing because they made me change into a gown, any who Dr. Otero came in greeted me with her quiet pleasant voice she opened my gown and asked my size i was so damn embarrassed because honestly i don't know..she told me it was okay, and asked me what size would i like to see.. i told her i just wanna be able to go in Victoria secret or Macys and get a bra, and not worry about it cutting into my shoulders..she smiled and said our goal is to have you at a nice size, which you will be comfortable and no more sharp pain, and from there i felt comfortable as she told me where my nipples should be sitting i was like WOW all the way up there she said YES!.. she showed me how she would cut around the nipple then down and cut under the boobs, i was going crazy she made sure i was going to be fine she didn't pressure me into anything, she answered all my questions far as do i have to stay in the hospital she said yes over night, then i said do you do a lot of these type of surgeries which is obvious, i was more so nervous and froze because i was scared i calmed down and the assistant took pics and i got dressed and they sent it off insurance. she told me the insurance always work with her. and that most likely i will get approved, and sure enough I GOT APPROVED a few weeks later... i said this is really happening OMG! I go Monday the 12th for my pre-op appointment excited and nervous at the same time, i am just weeks away from my surgery and reading other bloggers i am excited and a little scared of the pain drainage and recovery time because i have a active 7 year old, and school will be out next week. I more so know he going to be upset seeing me in pain, and how he will react a true mommas boy, but we will be fine. I will be back Monday ladies and let y'all know how my appointment went!
