    Thank you so much for this video! I am on day 4 post op and I found this very helpful. Currently I am feeling that my breasts are so high and really tight and it is freaking me out a bit...

      You're welcome! Mine have dropped a little now and look a lot more natural. Just give it some time

    Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out?I heard it burns, too? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

      You're very welcome! Good luck!
      You'll be great! They take you into a room where you get up on the bed and lay down. Then they put some heart rate monitors on you and insert a cannula into your vein, if they haven't already. You may feel a little anxious at this point, but don't worry. They will probably give you a little sedative or some strong painkillers which will relax you a lot. You'll feel great and relaxed. May be hard to believe, but seriously.. it's the best feeling ever! When they put you to sleep, they either put something in your cannula like how they did for the sedative, or they put a mask over your mouth. Either way, they always tells you what they are doing and what they are giving you, so no surprises. They may ask you to count down from 10 or to think of somewhere nice. But to be honest, with this surgery I don't remember falling asleep at all!! I've been out to sleep over 10 times and it's never burned, ever.
      You will see the anaesthetist who will put you to sleep and stay with you, before you go down for the surgery, so you can just tell them that you're feeling a bit nervous. To be honest, you're better off being asleep than staying awake feeling uncomfortable for 4 or so hours! Before you know it, you'll be awake again with people around you looking after you. Good luck again, and let me know if you have any other questions!

    Do you kniw why some people remove their drains a week later? Is it related with breast size before the reduction?

      I think it's down to the surgeon's preference. I had hardly anything in mine when they were removed.

      Not necessary for all patients my breast reduction is next week and they warned me my size would require drains.

      I only had my drains for a day or basically the day of surgery. Cause I went back in the next day to my doctors office and they removed them. My doctor said they don't normally keep them longer than 3 days. But I think it's all on preference
