    Default finally cut off my breasts....

    yep I finally cut them off.... or as my plastic surgen said "bilateral reduction mamoplaty" aka breast reduction. if you didnt know I was a 34DD, au' natural. it sucked. so last wensday I had them reduced, they should be a 34C when they are done with the swelling and healing and all.

    below and my current avatar are my 34DD breasts......


    funny things about my surgery:
    I refused to have the IV put in before they put me out (I am terrified of needles). They were afraid I was going to tear out my IV, so when I woke up it was bandaged, wraped, and taped quite severly to my hand. I found this quite amuseing as I had no intention of taking it out myself....
    also on that note, since they had to use the gas to put me out instead of the IV, i was in the OR holding the mask and a nurse asked me how I was feeling. I replied "very high".

    you can sorta see the tubes that deliver a nice drug directly to my breasts.... I think it works nicely because they dont hurt that bad consitering.....

    yeah, the reduction came with a lift, its really cool to have perky little breasts... my husband loves them even though they are still all brusied and cut up....

    and I already feel great... as long as I dont move much... siting on my computer is just fine. I had to have my husband help me wash my hair though ... actually, looking at the time.. I was suppost to take a pain pill about an hour and a half ago, and forgot.. oh well

    Well take your arnica montana and eat pineapple and rest for the next month. Show use when the are done, like 3-4 weeks. I love plastic sugery, it's a hobbie now.

    The arnica will help with swelling and bruising.

    Glad to see you're recovering well. Don't exet yourself too much, even if you feel up to it.

    And more questions...Do your boobs already feel lighter? Did insurance pay for any of it?

    sorry it took so long to reply, I was at my inlaws recovering and cant really check this site there ....

    no lipo, that woulda cost us money. insurece paid for all of it (even the demeral that I didnt use), I just had to buy a couple of bras and the gas to get to the surgery center. I wouldnt have minded getting a little lipo on my pouch to balence it all out since I dont have gigantic breasts to make it look smaller anymore but that woulda been way more then I can afford.....

    yesterday (day 9) I got my tubes out and a few stiches removed. bad thing is that one stich wasnt ready to come out and it kinda opened up right at the top of my right areaola, I am afraid that will scar up worse later. my husband doesnt mind that because he would be thrilled if no one ever sees my breasts again besides him and my doctor ....
    another thing about them taking out my stiches; I wanted to have sex this morning, but I was afraid my nipple would fall off if I tried , especilly with that opening it has, I am even a little afraid to take a shower since I kinda feel like my bra is the only thing holding me together now. I have some waterproof tape though and might just try that later..........

    alexisgold97, if your sister has any questions just pm me and Ill give you my email to give her.....

    Ami,glad to see you back and well.I didn't have any visible stiches around my areaola but I know what you mean about worrying the'll fall off. Just wear a bra in the shower and then put dry one on after.My tubes came out morning after surgery,I think I might have freaked if I had to keep them in 9 days!!!

    my drainage tubes came out the day after, that hurt really bad, I screamed. but the tubes in the pic were a pain relif system. http://www.askyoursurgeon.com/onqsolution.php I think it worked really well. except for the drain removal they didnt really hurt.

    a big part of taking a shower is to clean up the insicions. some of them keep oozing a bit and the one I am worried about by my areola did bleed a little.

    Ill get some pics up without a bra in a few days, ill put them in another thread though because they are kinda weird......

    I didn't know insurance could pay for all of it. My boobs are bigger than your before boobs so I could get a reduction someday. I'm not really sure if I want a reduction or not because I like my boobs and would like to breastfeed one day but I do have days when they get on my nerves. I liked your before breasts just as well but I understand, you do what you gotta do.

    SmokyBrownEyez, I have one of the best insurence companys around. They dont have a min on how much you have to remove, companies like bluecross/blue sheild have minimums of like 2 pounds a side I think. I wouldnt have made that, I only had 2.5 pounds removed total if you can belive it, it feels like I lost ten.

    I will breastfeed. However there is a chance that I will not make enough milk to give my kids all they need. From the research I did it seems that most women who Breast Feed After Reduction have about 50-75% of the milk they need. the rest can be supplemented with formula or milk banks. There are a few women who have 90-100%, but its not likely. I will be happy as long as I have half, and since I didnt have a whole lot removed there is a good chance of that.

    I thought about waiting untill after I had kids and they were weened to have the surgery, but then I would have to put up with all the crap for another 7 years or so, and at that point my husband will have changed jobs and we wont have the same insurence anymore. I just hope they dont get to big and saggy when I do breastfeed.....

    there is a lot of negativity on those pages, but there is some positive;

    http://www.bfar.org/presurgery.shtml
    "For me, I would not have been the woman, wife, and mother I am today if I had not had the surgery." -Karen
    I also like her story because she is like me:
    "I was 23 years old, a newlywed, a 34DD/DDD, very active, in extreme physical pain, and slowly becoming unable to participate in the activities I had enjoyed for many years."

    another thing I dont like about that site is that they are kinda picky, you have to actually have a baby to sign up for thier discussion group .... but I do think the site helped me a bit.....

    and one last comment from Karen:
    "I think it's important to note that I have been able to supply Samuel with all that he needs."
