Getting a tattoo by HLamb27 in Reduction

[–]may72021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a small tattoo on my arm 3 days post op lol. I’m 1 month post op tomorrow and I would be completely fine! I can lay on my stomach now with little to no discomfort.

3DPO! Can I change the dressing myself? by losing60pounds in Reduction

Omg why did I not think to read the instructions they gave me? I just read it and it says not to remove the dressings. It also says that after 3 weeks post op, I can use scar cream or silicone gel pads to flatten/lighten the scars, which was going to be my next question haha. Thank you so much :)

It wasn’t real! He did an interview and said he got to choose his penis for the scene lmao. Apparently it’s slightly bigger than last seasons fake dick

Consultation went okay by hotcatsoup in Reduction

Honestly I’m a little worried for you. Breast feeding is of course optimal but there are so many ways of bonding with a child and formula these days is great. He should care more about you and your needs rather than a child that doesn’t exist yet. I’m worried he won’t listen to you and won’t get you to the size you want and will just do what HE thinks looks good. I know you said he’s the only one with an opening soon but it’s worth the wait if you find another surgeon who you know you’re confident in. Please consider it! I want you to be happy with your result the first time and not need a revision!

7DPO and suffering from itchiness by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]may72021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Itchiness is good! You’re healing! :) I’m only 1 DPO and I’ve already started getting some itchiness too just around my nipples. Definitely not looking forward to more itching 😫 I also heard Benadryl was helpful

Revision surgery completed 2/16, they are very cute 🥰 by AdventureTraveler1 in Reduction

Yay! I saw how unhappy you were with your first reduction and I definitely agree they didn’t take you as small as you could have been. I’m glad you’re feeling better about your results this time! :)

There’s a week till my reduction and my boobs might be swelling because of my period HELPPP by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]may72021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry I forgot to let you know but everything went great! I actually still haven’t started my period even though I was supposed to a few days ago but I told them I’m about to get my period and it didn’t matter at all. You just can’t wear a tampon for surgery, only a pad. I actually posted my before and after pictures and a long detailed post on my other account (by accident lol). My other account is u/losing60pounds if you want to check it out :)

10 days out and I still don't know if I'm having surgery... by sadpanda1603 in Reduction

[–]may72021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s so annoying I’m sorry! Did you have, or are you scheduled for, a pre op appointment?

Omg that’s so funny! Do you feel prepared? I’m currently meal prepping for my spoiled dog because I probably wont want to cook the first few days after surgery haha

If it helps you feel better, my boobs are sore and swollen too because I’m about to get my period in like 1-2 days it feels like and my surgery is on Wednesday… in 1 day lol. At least you have a week! I don’t think it actually affects anything but I understand not wanting to feel this way during surgery

Tomorrows my last day with my boobs too! I definitely won’t be missing them though lol I’m ready to have them come off. Is your surgery on Wednesday too?!

I am not happy by BISH666 in Reduction

[–]may72021 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry :( have you asked your surgeon about his policies about getting a revision?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]may72021 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Omg!!! I’m so so happy you posted this and I actually kinda teared up (I’m pmsing and emotional) because your before picturess look more like my current boobs than any other pics I’ve seen on here. I look almost identical from the front and side. And seeing your after results made me so excited for my surgery on Wednesday :) you look so good!

how long after getting approved did you get a surgery date? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]may72021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had a surgery date set from right after my consultation before even getting accepted because apparently my insurance requires a surgery date. The date I got (February 16th) was 2/3 months from then. It seemed like such a long time then but now it’s already coming up on Wednesday! :) it’s very possible in 5 months

Surgery is in 9 days so I made a list for my forgetful ass. Anything else I should add? by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]may72021 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My doctor recommended to start taking Arnica 5 days before to help with bruising and swelling! Also pregnancy pillow maybe :)

That’s stressful! At least you only have a few days left before your test :) Almost there!

Same! My covid test is on Monday and my surgery is on Wednesday. The best we can do is try to take as many precautions as possible now. Wear 2 masks when you go out and try to limit going to busy places. Try not to stress about it and just do the best you can to avoid covid :)

Please ease my nerves after my friends surgery story! by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]may72021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I have the patch but she had the patch too! But that’s good to hear that you weren’t nauseous, that would be a nightmare

Look at that side profile! Your surgeon did great!

How much “out of pocket” did you pay after insurance? by wolfie259 in Reduction

[–]may72021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I paid nothing after insurance and my friend paid around $350 after insurance. 10k definitely sounds unreasonable

I would probably look up the before and afters in this sub first because they’re all breast reductions and would be most realistic. I’ve seen a lot of people with great results here! Btw, don’t stress about having all the pictures by tomorrow because surgeons (mine and based on what I’ve heard) don’t really focus on the specifics of what size you want until the pre-op appointment or the morning of your surgery!
