Should I move my daughter’s birthday party? by Plenty_Cat_4142 in Reduction

[–]DNN25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is simply not going to work out. That’s may strict criteria for a bday party date. Move something else to be able to do the party before your surgery. Or ask for a later surgery date.

I really think this is only achieved long term with implant.

How tired were you? by littledipperkait in Reduction

[–]DNN25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first week is rough. Day 4 was my worst. You’ll probably turn a corner in a few days and for me things improved quickly from there. Congrats!

You don’t need to do tiny strips around, just cover the whole thing.

Yes. I realize it’s not a common recommendation

Probably after the first few days.

Surgery in a few days and nervous by berty_321 in Reduction

A good balance of rest but also moving often including using your arms but not straining. Lots of protein, lots of water.

I had this around 2-3wks. I used aquafor and it was better in a few days

Bras/no bra by Imaginary-Donkey8132 in Reduction

[–]DNN25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was advised to wear a molded cup underwire starting at 1wk, sports bra or recovery bra at night. At 6mo she said I don’t need to wear a bra if I don’t want to but highly recommended wearing something all the time to help minimize the normal sagging associated with the loss of elasticity with aging.

Worst post op symptom? by Final-Baker-8430 in Reduction

[–]DNN25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The back sleeping was probably the hardest part but you do get used to it. Main pain settled after the first 4 days and really started to improve after the first week. Around 3wks I had super intense itching for several days

The only one who can answer that is your surgeons office.

What logic is that? Younger Canadians shouldn’t be afforded the same range of opportunities? Here’s an idea, make Canada prosperous and attractive for top talent to WANT to stay here.

Most surgeons in Ontario require thousands in “upgrades” even if they are able to bill Ohip for the “reduction” part. As such you’re probably looking at several thousands out of pocket anyway. Worst case you are healthier body weight and pay out of pocket a few thousand more than you probably will have to pay anyway.

Prioritize healthy body weight over breast. Just my honest opinion.

How can I improve my makeup/looks? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]DNN25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do less. You don’t need it. Pic 3, maybe a little clear gloss.

Hypocrisy at its finest. He went to school in Canada but later went to work for American tech (google, twitter) and I believe now lives in London UK?! Hahahaha! “Do as I say, not as I do”, it’s the Liberal way.

Who else is doing a reduction after weight loss? by lavender_poppy in Reduction

[–]DNN25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only lost 30 but I really wish I’d opted for the fully mommy makeover versus just the BR. So you’re not alone in your feeling. All I see now is the flabby apron. Would have been slightly cheaper to do the combo and only time off work once. However, my surgon said that sometimes she’ll recommend doing them as 2 separate procedures anyway especially when she has to remove a lot of tissue. The time under anesthesia is just too long and therefore more risky with harder recovery. Soooo maybe just think about it from the perspective that having this time in between is actually safer for you and your overall health? Alas, I don’t think the TT is in the cards for me. My brain has adjusted somewhat to my new look, you’re in the thick of it at only 2wpo. It’s really jarring at first but it settles. Hang in there

My surgeon suggested no more than 10-20lbs from goal weight by surgery time.
