36H Down to a 36D - Woodland Hills, CA

WORTH IT
Well let me begin by saying I was never a 36D like the doc told me I was. She left me at a 36G. Either my breast grew or she had no idea what a 36D looks like.

Dr. Kim was amazing. She's with Kaiser in Woodland Hills,CA & specializes in breast reconstruction of cancer patients which is why I chose her to do my surgery.

Do you still think it was worth it?
Well if it's of any worth, it looks like your surgeon did a great job as they look great, pert and full, you are looking very nice ;)
They say it takes up to 6 months to 1 year to fully settle to an actual size, its just going to be up and down sizes... I guess fluid retention+ breast tissues growing and healing.
@jpo818 & @mamilex I followed a BR story a few months back but can’t remember if it was here in the states or another country? Is this the norm for BR? I heard w/BR when your insurance covers it, they dictate to the PS how much skin they are to remove? I read this ladies review on here that it was based on how large you are and how much pain/stress they’re causing to get approval. Then once approved the insurance technically dictates how much to remove? Just wondering if that is possibly why the PS didn’t remove more skin? I think she could of gone a bit smaller too but sometimes you read that it’s not safe to do so for the patient or survival of the tissues etc. I also think it’s hard to promise a certain bra size bc bra sizes vary from different manufacturers so what might be a D in one maker could be a G in another? If it matters at all, I think they look really nice! Thanks for sharing your journey with us on RS! ❤️
How do you feel about that? She did a nice job....

Update on incision

I went to the Dr. to check on my incision and she said that it is NOT infected (YIPPY) BUT that I am doing too much so I need to take it slow and allow myself to heal. She has me on the wet/dry remedy which consist of soaking a piece of gauze with saline, applying that directly onto the wound then covering up the wet gauze with a dry peice and tapping it on my booby. Me next appt is 4/24. Let's see how that goes.............

Take the advice of the PS and everything will be fine. it is amazing how the puckering smooths out as the stitches dissolve. You have a lovely overall result, don't risk developing holes etc by doing too much.
also have you tried bromelain for the swelling? take between meals, utterly miraculous
No I have nit tried Bromelain. I've been taking Arnica pellets...is it the same or better?
only have experience of bromelain and it was miraculous. take between meals
You look great!
Thank you summerbreeze
