Oliver's Mom 258 Posted May 19, 2013 Thank you for posting these and for sharing your story. I am absolutely getting PS on my breasts and likely a Tummy Tuck. I'm happy to hear it wasn't as painful as you thought it would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jensjoy28 351 Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks for posting the pics...it is helpful. What size do they anticipate you being after healing from reduction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted May 20, 2013 I had reduction when I was 20. Back then I weighed about 135 and had to have my bras special made because they didn't make them in my size. My only regret was my surgeon butchered me and I lost a lot of my sensation. I am actually considering having them lifted sometime in the near future. I believe sharing pictures like these are important, it helps those considering the surgery to have a better idea of what to expect. Kudos to you for sharing.

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted May 20, 2013 Had mine 12 years ago and with very little pain. After a few years the scaring is hardly noticeable. Although, I didn't care if it was or not.. I was just glad I got it done and had boobies of a 20year old. Love 'em to this day ENJOY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using VST[/quote'] They were very clear that I could lose a lot of sensation, but that surgery has come a long way in the last decade and it was unlikely. I do have spotty numbness all over though. That can last some months. I was most worried about losing sensation in my nipples. Much to my relief, I have the exact opposite side effect; they are crazy sensitive to everything since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luckysmomma 407 Posted May 20, 2013 What did your dr say about scarring? Congrats on all your success! You are one brave chic to post these, you go, girl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are one brave chic to post these' date=' you go, girl![/quote'] Scarring will be minimal 1 year from now. The nipple scar quickly fades into the color of the nipple, the vertical scar will fade to pale pink and the under the breast scar will be hidden. I went to realself.com and looked at lots of before pictures. The scarring didn't seem bad at all. Even if it was bad though, I would still do this. SO worth it already.

jacee 183 Posted May 20, 2013 I had this done to about 6 years ago. Its so liberating being able to make bra wearing optional at least around the house and once in while out and about. My only problem was that the surgery left me with "wings" leading back to my arms where the surgery scars go almost to my armpit. its like a couple inches. of well fat. I hate it.

jacee 183 Posted May 20, 2013 Have you thought about having the wings removed? Yes although, of course that would require another surgery. Its more noticeable as I loose weight. I dont think my insurance would cover it, although I feel my surgeon did not do a very good job of that area. I have googled others left with the same situation after this surgery, its like the fat or breast tissue fell back to that area and the just sewed it up. Like peaks of tissue built up about 5 inches long and 1inch high witht the surgery scar on top. Not pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
