'What a Relief'

Pros:
smaller breasts, clother fit better, more self-confidence
Cons:
none yet its only been 2 weeks!
Cost:
$ 3,950

Healing time:
don't know yet!!!

Pain-o-meter:  1


I only decided in December 2001 that I was having the operation and went ahead with it a few weeks later on Jan 12th 2002 (two weeks ago).

I am back in work now, they look bruised and ugly at the moment but I have bought so many beautiful bra sets and I can't wait to wear them. I was a 34F and I reduced to a 34C and they are pointing to the sky!!! I never really experienced a huge amount of back pain with my 34F's but it was starting, and I hated the way I felt as a result of big boobies, so if you don't like it change it!

At this stage I have to take baths with tea tree oil to help with the healing process and the scars shouldn't be so bad. It does help girls if you have somebody around to look after and help you for the first couple of days!

Here are more details:


How results differed from what I expected:
I thought I was going to be in agony but I was fine, I didn't experience really any pain so far and I am a little over two weeks since the surgery, it was a tad uncomfortable but that's it.

Biggest fears pre-procedure:
scarring definitely and pain!

Healing aids used:
nope

Number of doctors consulted:
2

Number of years I thought about having the procedure:
1year

Had an elective procedure before:
No

Complications or follow-up procedures:
