why I got a breast reduction + lift | honest experience, cost and recovery process | arnellarmon

[@natalie1518]

The face card is insaneeeeee omg you look gorg as usual

[@Ashhwitcash]

Yes!!! And camera quality is on point!!

[@determineddiva5402]

Your surgeon was so thorough and detailed which is what people should look for when they’re considering a doctor. He wasn’t trying to see how much money he could get out of you by suggesting implants you did not need as compared to the other surgeon. I think you made the correct decision by going to him.

[@Christina-qn9sd]

This is a huge surgery, price should be the last thing on your mind! I’m happy you went by your doctor!😍

[@Jenelle95]

I got my breast reduction and lift 3 years ago and that was the best decision. I went from a H to a D 💜

[@Lutifah]

How’s the scar? I just don’t want a dark brown scar along my breast

[@lisaisa]

@@Lutifah i think stuff like that is one of the things where you need to weigh up how important optics are against the benefits. is relief from back pain, poor posture, bra bruises and discomfort etc. worth the risk of unaesthetic scarring? is the potential for unappealing scars a deterring factor? generally, you can look at your other scars and see how they've healed. if you're prone to hyperpigmentation or keloids, 9 times out of 10 it will be the same for your breast reduction scar. also make sure you assess the surgeon's portfolio- especially for black/ darkskin women as the neater the surgeons work, the better your scar will heal. finally, bare in mind that a scar is a scar but it will fade over time

[@crazystupidlovething]

@@lisaisaheavy on the make sure u get a surgeon that has experience with a BW or POC, even w/ nose jobs I’ve seen some fire ethnic rhinoplasty surgeries fr ! Ands then u have ur ones that love to do the usual pinched look. I lost over a 100 pounds over the past 2 years and I’m in the process of looking for a br3ast reduction surgeon and I love that she posted this.

[@itstyraia]

You are so captivating 🥺 I love your talking videos. I’ve been following you for over 7 years and the way you have and continue to flourish and change is why I am a long time supporter ❤

[@mombe4anything130]

You inspire me. I’m in a toxic relationship at the moment and I can’t wait to close this chapter in my life. And working on myself in every aspect to make myself happy and give my children a happier version of me just gives me hope to keep going in life. You are shining and glowing and everything. I hope one day I also find my glow again.

[@sharonculpepper8795]

I got my breast reduction done at the time we had HMO, so my surgery at the time cost me basically 10.00. I had to see my primary doctor first and he had to write down all the reasons why I needed the surgery.The doctor put down migraine headaches, and couldn't see what was going on because of fatty tissue. My reasons was insecurities. My family would always talk about my breast and told me my mother should have me get a breast reduction. When it came to my body shape, I took after my mother. I could never get the right size bra to fit me. I could never wear cute tops, I would wear men's XXL shirts. Finally when I started working and got my own insurance, I finally got it done. It took me a long time to heal and in my small town, we only had 2 surgeons who did the procedure. I am so happy I got it done, the first thing I bought was a tank top and Victoria Secret bras and lingerie. They are still sitting up and I was so much more happier.

[@amberdb04]

So happy that everything was a success, you're doing well and looking good Arnell

[@kaylam1252]

Oh I'm so ready for this candid convo

[@Chrisandetc]

Hey Arnell! Thanks for sharing your experience! I am glad that you are doing well post-op!!! I just want to add that I will never understand how people can be so cruel and negative in the comments. You present yourself to the world in a positive way…I love that about you! ❤

[@josetteval7351]

I'm having mine done December 26th due to breast cancer but it was overdue. I'm excited and nervous.

[@Lutifah]

Wishing you all the best ❤

[@essdolly]

I got my breast reduction on Oct 22 & it’s been life changing!!!! I’ve wanted one since middle school

[@ShesVon]

Can’t wait to have mine!

[@annastasiahoney]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this one! 🙌

[@MyBrilliantCreationtv]

Thank you for sharing your experience, and being vulnerable, bold,&courageous. This insight helps so much. Congrats on your new journey 🎉❤.

[@ItsActuallyAlexis]

Thank you for this!! This was soo helpful i can’t wait to get a reduction one day 😭 every woman mentions the confidence boost and that’s what im most excited for!

[@xoxo_GorgeousMinds]

So proud of you ❤. I got my breast reduction on January 4, 2024. I’ve gotten use to my new size. Some things I’m adapting too but I don’t regret getting the procedure. I’ve had the same feelings about my size 38k 😅 breasts. It’s been almost a year and I STILL have not been measured 😂. I’ve been wearing the heck out of these sports bras bbaabbyy.

[@sama4248]

I just got mine done and it was the best decision ever!

[@nessyxo5482]

Your voice is so soothing , fighting to not fall asleep while watching chile

[@ericag.7337]

I’m glad you did what you wanted to do. They look great! ❤

[@jadexariana]

Thanks for dedicating a video on this. I’m so ready to do mine at some point 🩵

[@juelclyne7392]

Thank Arnell for opening up about your journey. You look beautiful 😍 ❤

[@candypaintnails]

So happy that everything went well & that you are more happy! 🥰💚💚

[@RK-pi8ms]

Glad you did this video, very informative 💕

[@hodgepodge3490]

Thank you so much for sharing Arnell! This was really helpful and you broke everything down so well

[@fromihsan]

soo happy for you girl!! fellow breast reduction girly here! 💓 the best decision of my life honestly, i dreamt about it since i was 17 and finally did it last year right after my 25th bday. ((JJ to a C/D cup)) It was my first surgery as well, i've never done anything cosmetic so i was soooo afraid but my surgeon and anaesthesiologist was so lovely. I'm still working on my scars bc i got lazy lol but wow game changer fr!

[@RoseSimeus]

Cannot wait to get my breast reduced !!! Love this very informative and the surgeon was thorough AF

[@MoneyPlan-y3e]

It's so refreshing to hear someone share the raw truth about the recovery process! How did you manage the emotional ups and downs during healing?

[@SteffiTorres-w3y]

My mistake was being excited about the way they looked, feeling extremely confident and I just went wild not wearing bra and just being free especially to sleep and now i regret that part. Also, he’s correct about diet and exercise and do follow all the rules and your girls look amazing

[@Justritamich]

kudos to you for paying more for a peace of mind! ❤

[@sashamatamoros2365]

This was very detailed thank you 😊 I’m glad you’re happy with your results and you look amazing ❤

[@Therealnazzerparris]

Happy for you 🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@KartekaNicole]

34 J here , i can’t wait until the day i can afford to get mine done , congrats 🎉

[@roxannespence1]

I got my girls done for similar reasons. I would scream it from the mountaintop. I do not regret it AT ALL. Best decision I could have made. My quality of life is so much better.

[@audriiiiroberts3030]

I totally get it, as far as how bad the needle hurt. I always tell people that the worst part of giving birth to my sweet baby was the catheter in your arm when you first get there 😬

[@mazvie]

Love love this❤❤❤❤

[@MELOSINCE87]

This doesn’t apply to everybody, but if you have Medicaid in the state of Georgia in South Carolina, you can get a reduction done for almost free. Both of my sisters have went this route.

[@arielleandrews5296]

Thank you for sharing! You look so happy ❤. Can you please do a video on your jewelry? You have some of the prettiest jewelry

[@SteffiTorres-w3y]

Hi Arnell, I’m years into my breast reduction and I have the same experience as you and you will get back your sensation, you will be able to breast feed because u did my reduction before I had my daughter who is two atm but I do have advice for you. Please continue to wear your surgical bra from time to time and still use your tapes from time to time because your breast grows back after a while, I had mine done at 25 and I’m 36 years old atm , other than that I loved this video and agreed with everything you said and he is definitely correct about everything.

[@Search4Cherise]

I hate the IV catheter too 😩😩😩 it was the worst part of giving birth & when i had surgery to remove a large ovarian cysts

[@victoriayoboue5273]

I really appreciate your transparency, Arnell 🫶🏾

[@cynthiacrapp1331]

Im happy everything worked out for u

[@knownpretty]

How were you able to edit your video like this? You’re so clear and vivid yet your background is slightly blurred but still visible… you soooo pretty as well

[@KH-gi4li]

I literally went through this same process but two weeks ago and with an implant. Best decision for me ever!

[@tracerene]

The nipple is so cute 😂 I’m glad you had a great experience and are happy with your results. The doctor you went to was def a great choice I love how transparent and genuine he was.

[@cedricscaggs1409]

You came a long way beautiful lady congrats stay healthy and blessings

[@TwinBleaks]

I just had surgery 3 weeks ago for the first time so this is so relatable 😂🥰. Mine was less involved (bunion surgery) but I was also nervous about being put to sleep but GIRL. Best sleep of my life😂😭.

[@jbowen7381]

I had bunion surgery too 3 weeks ago that sleep was A1👌🏽

[@jenifferwanga]

Love the middle part😍

[@DomMescudi]

I got a reduction nearly 6 years ago. Best decision I ever made! Went from a K to D 😅 I also went through insurance and only paid $200 out of pocket. Don’t let the cost scare y’all!

[@cindymthethwa9926]

You look good and I'm happy for you ❤

[@lomiju]

Happy holidays 🎉 Glad you're happy with your surgery 😊 Now that you said that thing about hair and areolas, my hair is a very noticeable brown & and so are my areolas 😂

[@amberdb04]

Heyyy Arnell Armon and everyone 🤗 Happy Holidays 🎄❤️🎄

[@calypsoandchill]

I swear, once I’m financially stable and all, DEFS GETTING THESE GIRLS LIFTED. I’ve never had perky boobs, they just fell as soon as they came in. If you have good boobs, be grateful. One less insecurity to worry about

[@star0nyx]

Girl I am sittING. I have needed one since I was in my early 20s

[@rozecourtz]

thank you so much for this video

[@Everythingfreshandsassy]

I understand! I am 61 and breastfed 3 children. When I bend over my girls look like two raggedy tube socks!😭😭😭

[@riwilliamss]

I never thought I’d watch a video and relate to a woman about having light nipples😂. No kids yet but for the longest time I was so insecure about having light nips lol. Happy you had a healthy & safe experience!

[@nellej902]

Come on quality 😍

[@braidsbyshanna]

ive been considering getting this done

[@junglemami6941]

Do you know what procedure I could get or service that could help me with scarring and pigmentation on the breast?

[@junglemami6941]

Your boobs look amazing!!!! I got my breast reduction surgery a few years back I was in love but what I wished my doctor would’ve done was give me the scar tape, I asked and he said I was gonna be okay. I’m dark skin so we are more prone to scarring and more pigmentation so I’m a little insecure about that but I feel better than before. Feels good to walk around with no bra.

[@svilla7265]

I feel the same way about mine after having my daughter. I would definitely get this surgery done. I’m glad everything went well 🫶🏼

[@iamliskha3489]

❤❤❤

[@ladylucile15]

I have low hanging boobs and love them. They are cancer free and nursed to babies. But if it’s an anxiety for you then do right for you.

[@mogigi]

I was 36G two sandbags pointing south and that was left over after I lost 40lbs. I have several disabilities, on ssdi, so it was causing lots of pain so my insurance covered entire cost thank you Lord. Had mine done 2021. Fast-forward 2023 rapidly gaining weight gain, but by April 2024 thru June I had rare energy bursts to exercise again, but health got worse then lack of appetite I naturally finished getting back down to 2023 175 weight from 2021 post op. But yep my boobs kept their new weight from my boomerang gain/loss again lol. I'm ok with it though, love mine even more now, but thank the Lord they're nowhere near a freaking G cup! Lol I'm only 5'4 I can't carry no droopy juggernauts on my frame nomo😂 shoot idc about my anchor scares either, being able to sleep without being smothered to 💀 is a blessing frfr. Big boob ladies if you can trust a reduction is so worth it. I was praying I could get one and shol couldn't afford it on SSDI, but God made a way to answer that pray cause I didn't feel comfortable with the look or pain.

[@blessed14445]

You said your nipples got big during pregnancy. Did the doctor reduce the size of your nipples or did they get smaller on their own after child birth?

[@333lookz]

Doctor

[@blessed14445]

@333lookz yes, the plastic surgeon.

[@jasminyoung2412]

I had my breast reduction 3 years ago after having my son and i just had a baby 2 months ago and they didn’t grow back at all but i also didn’t gain a crazy amount of weight during my pregnancy since i was i guess a little heavier already. It was such a easy surgery i would do it again lol.

[@shaniasmith5418]

I would love to get a lift but I’m barely a B and I don’t want implants 😭

[@fibi164]

🙏🏼🥰

[@Ashhwitcash]

I want to get this done but I hate the look of the scars

[@jelicadutchoverr.]

i hated my boobs before i had my baby but omg after i hate them even more. i’m hoping one day i can get mine done! 😭😭

[@miyah4210]

May I ask what’s the name of your doctor? ❤

[@nneka6443]

Arnell !!!

[@cryssyluv]

I got a reduction 5 years ago......they grew back 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@dilagebre]

lmao at first i felt like my boobs were gonna fall off or something lol it was so tight

[@Khadijah_time]

😍

[@ladileelee1]

Yes, I had a similar process. I love my boobie. Mine was medically necessary, so insurance covered mine. I love it on this side.

[@neauxheart3741]

30:00 they were trying to cut you up girl for that lol and it’s free omg the world we in 😢

[@queenrit]

If you got the money, do you boo do you?❤❤❤

[@jazzlyngrigsby]

Sometimes you might have to spend more for amazing work

[@mx.chi2]

I'm not gonna lie, it's much cheaper n less life threatening to go to therapy and to learn to tune out the noise of society. It takes longer but is more emotionally fulfilling. I am happy that you are happy with your decision AND we have to think about the fact that our decisions--especially potentially life threatening ones--cannot be dictated by what we think people will think of us.

[@Colipopkola]

I'm glad you love your results and listened to Alissa and did the consultation at least. So glad the decision was a good one! And I think hoping and willing if I have kids I'll get a mommy makeover too! But I have been comptemplating for years of getting a breast lift just cause I have such big breasts. 🙃😅😊 Also thanks for sharing with us this gave me a lot of insight to possibly something I would like to do. But also scared of a big surgery that I've never done anything like that before lol.
