8 month update
I’m sorry it took me so long to update my experience! It has been 8 months since my surgery and I can say that this has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I have never ever regretted getting this procedure done. I have a newfound confidence, am able to wear clothes that fit properly and I am virtually pain free. I’ve started working out again and my back hasn’t felt sore at all! The crippling back pain I would have some mornings before the surgery is a distant memory now and I’m so grateful.
The worst part of the procedure by far was getting the drains removed. It didn’t HURT but it was the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. Before the drains were removed I felt rather lethargic and zombie-like for a couple days but once they were gone I felt incredible! I only took the pain meds for about 4-5 days post surgery and after I was completely fine!
The scars are starting to fade away now, but in some places they are very visible. This isn’t a very huge problem for me though. Any swelling that was left over from the surgery is completely gone and my breasts now look completely natural. I ended up being about a 32C cup which is the perfect size for me. I will include pictures of the before and after.
If you have any questions please dm me, and I will try and answer! :)

Hello everyone!
I am a 22 year old 5’9, 160lbs woman and my breasts were always very large and disproportionate for my size. Growing up my breasts grew FAST in middle school/early high school and because of my weight fluctuation, they also became rather deflated and saggy very early. Not only was I extremely self conscious to take my top off but I wasn’t able to wear certain cloths or bikinis because of this. If this would have been my only problem, I might not have looked into the surgery but sadly my back started to suffer terribly one summer when I picked up a more physically demanding job. I would wake up with severe pain in my lower/upper back to the point where I couldn’t continue working there. I knew the pain was stemming from the weight on my chest, and I only imagined how worse this pain would develop to be over the years if it was already this bad at 22! I considered my options and went to my family doctor to request a consultation with Dr. Islur. I had read his reviews online and he seemed like the best choice for me. The consultation was set up about a month later and upon meeting him he was very honest, blunt and down to earth. He answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable, so a week after the consultation I booked my surgery date.
Since I’m attending post secondary school, working out an appropriate time was a little tricky but we decided to go through with the surgery during a week long school break so I’d have awhile to recover.
When the surgery came, I felt pretty nervous. I hadn’t spoken to Dr. Islur since my consultation began the summertime and I was worried that maybe he wouldn’t remember what we had talked about in the consult. His nurse was very sweet to me and tried her best to answer my questions but sometimes the communication was a bit lacking. For example, I received my surgery date/location documents only 4 days before my surgery date which was very late in the game I thought. This made me more anxious when going to the clinic on the surgery day.
I was told you be at the clinic by 6:30am on February the 13th and I was there only to find out that the clinic didn’t open until 7:00am. I was a bit annoyed at this and had to wait outside in the Winnipeg cold for a half hour before being let inside. That miscommunication only lead to me becoming more anxious.
But when I was inside, all the nurses and staff were so friendly and kind that they really put me at ease. All the nurses came and introduced themselves to me, along with Dr. Islur who was very pleasant when explaining both post care instructions (so that I would remember for later instead of telling me after while being loopy from the anesthetic) and what his plan of action for surgery was. I was very satisfied and told him that I trusted his judgement and that I wasn’t expecting to become any certain size as long as my breasts ended up being proportionate to my size. The anesthesiologist also came to introduce himself and he was very sweet to me and made me feel comfortable. All the staff working that day made me feel amazing.
When I woke up, I felt a little loopy and nauseous but my nurse made me feel a lot better. She was so sweet to me and I’m very grateful that she was there! There was virtually no pain when I got out of surgery, just mild discomfort. Even now being on my pain meds, there is virtually no pain just discomfort. A lot of people in reviews said to try and get off of the meds asap but I’m going to continue taking them until I feel comfortable enough to stop. I have drains in, and the nurse instructed me how to empty them myself and gave me a chart to fill out to measure what is drained.
It is the day after surgery and I feel well! Standing for too long makes me feel a little dizzy, but I try and get up and move around a little here and there like Dr. Islur instructed. I’m supposed to have my drains removed tomorrow or the next day which will be good. I haven’t seen my breasts out of gauze yet and I don’t know if I’m ready to see them just yet. I’m kind of afraid of the gore that I might see. But from the size and shape underneath the bandages I am already super satisfied. I don’t think they’re too small or too large. Very satisfied with Dr. Islur and his team so far! I will continue to update throughout my recovery.

Dr. Islur was very professional and nice. He has a very calm demeanour which is relaxing for anxious patients like me. He made sure to go over everything he needed with me before the surgery (such as aftercare instructions and his plan of action for surgery) which was highly appreciated. A few minor communication errors with his staff beforehand was a bit inconvenient and caused a little anxiety, but it all worked out in the end which is all that matters.
