I thought I would write one last review and it is two years this month since I had my breast reduction. Looking back through the images it is really interesting to see how my breasts have dropped into looking a more natural shape.

I am really glad that I had a breast reduction. It has made such a big difference to my life and my confidence ... would do it all again in a flash.

All the best to everyone out there going through the same process.

One Year Post-Op - The Difference a Year Makes!

I can't believe it has been a year and I am so thankful that I found Mr Fatah and made the decision to go ahead with the BR. It has changed how I feel about myself more than I can tell you - just a couple of weeks ago, on holiday, I realized how comfortable I now am in the heat and how much more confident I feel about myself. I guess this will be my last post and all the best to all of you starting out on this path to feeling great about ourselves. Here are the pictures, to remind myself, of before and one year on.

8 months post-op this week

I bought my first (post-op) underwired bra this week. The fitter wanted to put me in a 30E ... yeah!. I realize size is just a number but, even so, I have finally got down to a 30E as the internal swelling has gone down ... can't believe it has taken eight months and just goes to show they are right when they say it can take up to a year for the final shape to reveal itself. After decades of feeling 'encased' and these past months of not wanting/needing to undo my bra in the evening to be able to relax and breathe, I went for a 32DD. It is a very long time since I fitted into a 32DD and not having to hoist myself up and into a bra is a liberating feeling that makes me feel really good about myself. The scars, at 8 months, are turning into fine white lines (magnified many times in the image) and that, for me, is a small price to pay for the difference this procedure has made in my life; I do however wonder how I would feel if I was half the age I am and I don't know the answer to that question. For the greater self-confidence I believe it would have given me, I wish I had had the courage to go for it sooner but ... heyy ... 'better late than never' and I am so glad I created and grabbed the opportunity when I did. Looking back over the past eight months I don't know why I panicked along the way, especially in the first weeks months after the operation, however I cannot now express how pleased I am with the (almost final) outcome ... I guess I will have to wait the full year for my 'final' judgement of the outcome!

When I decided to go ahead with breast reduction surgery my challenge was finding the right surgeon. I spent weeks trawling the internet to learn about what was involved and watching videos on You Tube. At the end of my research I decided to look for a surgeon in UK that would perform the procedure with local anaesthetic and IV sedation. It was easy to surgeons in US, where it appeared to be the norm, but everyone I contacted in UK told me it was impossible. Then, just as I was about to give up, I found Mr Fatah. When I met Mr Fatah he struck me as a quiet and gentle man who did not try to influence my decision either way. He answered my list of questions and addressed my concerns. I instinctively felt that I would be in safe hands and that the outcome would be in keeping with my height and frame. I booked the surgery date and gave myself a further two months to continue my research, consider the risks (I am over 60) and prepare myself. Of course I was nervous but, when the day finally arrived, it went incredibly smoothly and I was delighted with such a quick and painless recovery as a result of local anaesthetic and IV sedation. As a private patient I paid £GB5,600 that is around $US9600. I don't know if Mr Fatah operates on behalf of the NHS with GP referral. My post-op recovery is now in progress ... update to follow on the final outcome.
