I'm getting a breast reduction, any suggestions?

4 weeks ago
I HAVE talked to my Dr and know all the risks. I am a 34GG. I just want to know people's personal experiance so I know more about what to wxpect.

Suggestions with what?

I had it in Feb 2006 and my only regret is not getting it done sooner.

I had it covered by insurance 100%, so talk to your family doctor about a referral with someone in your health plan. See at least three PS's before deciding on one.

38J to 38C

This site helped me out a lot:

Edit: what to expect.

You should be off work for two weeks, more if you are in a physically active job. If not OFF for more than two weeks, at least on light duty, and I mean really restrict yourself!

Scars take a year to lighten and fade. Scarguard and Mederma are great to help with scars after your incisions close.

I got nipple sensation back at 3 months but that can take over a year for that to come back.

My final size was around a year, but again that could take a while.

The key word to recovery is PATIENCE.

Do NOT hesitate to talk to your PS about any issues you may have. DO NOT ask people online what to do when you should be talking to your plastic surgeon who is taking care of you!!!

That site I posted has a GREAT FAQ section as well as things for recovery and how to go about getting back to your daily activities.

This is not a surgery I regret. I love my new perky breasts and my back is not in pain anymore.
