WORTH IT
I've been struggling with the decision to go forward for a long time. I rescheduled 4 times beginning this summer. Each time the office staff has been very pleasant and kind. I've gone from two consults and Dr.Oretro has patiently answered my questions without ego or fatigue. She's been practicing for 30 years. To my knowledge she specializes in reconstructive surgery bu g from the other reviews on line she has an asthetic eye as well. I am 38, 5"5 and about 190lbs. However, I ve lost 23lbs, can run 3 miles in 30 min and my waist to hip ratio is decent at 38,33,45. The only thing I'm scared of is the back and bra fat I will most likely get that done later on. I'm not blog enough to post pictures yet but I can tell you that my Fantasie bras are 36HH. I hope I'm not to small. I intent to loose more weight. Hospital tomorrow. I will update this review as I enter the process.

Pain level is around 5, not to bad. Doc came in to remove drains. Drain removal hurts but goes by so fast I don't remeber the pain. I'll be discharged in an hour or so. I'm glad they didn't send me home yesterday. I needed to be monitored. I feel lighter and better already. I didn't want to be small just higher. Doc only took 200 grams. So far so good.

Congratulations on making a big decision. It is so worth it. 200g is not much breast tissue so hoping you have heard that wrong. That amount will only bring you down onecup size I went from an E to a D about 350g removed from each. Don't forget to rest for the next few weeks. Happy healing x

Thanks. For me I didn't want to be much smaller. I wanted more of a lift than anything else. I intent to loose a little more weight so I'm aware they're gonna go down more and maybe a tiny but of hang but it Def won't be like it was

what size do you will be?? I'm having surgery with Otero in December and am nervous about being too small as well. I am only a 34 DD though so I'm smaller than most who get this surgery.

The size thing is hard to predict because there is no consistancy in bra sizes. For example, my Fantasie bras are all 36HH. My Chantelle bra is 36 H, I have bras that fit well in many sizes. For that reason I didn't get an answer in sizing when I asked what cup size I would be. My suggestion is to go on how much tissue will be removed. I'm not small. My measurements are 36 33 45 it didn't make sense for me to be a small d cup because I have alot of back and flank fat. Dr. Ortero's expertise is making you look perportioned. She made my boobs look perfect for my body. I'm guessing I'll be a ddd but from a HH that a huge difference. I can tell you that my shoulders,neck and lower back felt like a weight was lifted off me.I felt that in the hospital bed. Hope that helps. Goodluck!

My blood pressure has been really low. It was 98/53 in the hospital. It's back up to 100/78. Finally getting some gas &burping. Hopefully my bowels will move next. I'm irritated because none of my "best freinds" have called to check on me. Guess I know who I won't be taking into the new year. My stomach is bloated. My supermom is my angel. I'm in and out of sleep, like involuntarily but I guess that rest. Ttyl

I hope you're feeling better. I totally understand about the friend thing. I would've called, been by to visit and probably stayed nights if you were my BFF. But guess what??? You made it without them!!! It's their loss! Rest easy and heal quickly. :)
