I had my breast reduction and lift, insurance approved, last week. The surgery was 4.5 hours and outpatient. I was a 40 F before the sleeve and a 36 DDD before the reduction, after losing 75 lbs. The surgery wasn't too bad. There isn't as much pain as I thought but I'm so wiped out! I should've taken more than a week off work. I've posted some pics so that you can see what I week post op looks like. Not as gruesome as you'd think. I have a lot of swelling, especially laterally. That will take about 6 weeks to go away. I also posted two "before" shots. Although embarrassing, it was helpful to me to see other people's photos. Sorry that a couple are upside down. I have no clue how to fix that.

I think the end result is gonna look great. I know im gonna need a lift when my body finishes loosing.Thx for sharing

They look great!!! I need a lift so badly. Thanks for sharing. Gives me some idea what I'm heading into. If you don't mind me asking, how much did this cost you? You may have posted but I've not read every comment. So envious! LOL

Great information in this thread. Thanks for posting your story and the pics. In this case a photo speaks a thousand words!

Great info thanks for sharing! I'm a 46 G. I pretty much expect to be deflated balloon animals dragging on the floor after I am sleeved and reach goal. Has anyone had areola reduction? I want that badly. I have freakisly large tatas now but when I lose them it's going to be scary looking areola to breast ratio.
