SURGERY VLOG: Getting breast reduction, first week recovery, and post-op appointment

I have wanted to get breast reduction ever since I was 15 years old, and 10 years later, I finally did. It was the best decision I have made in my life.
I will be doing a Q&A soon, so if you have any questions about the process, recovery, or anything in general, leave them down below. Subscribe so you don't miss out on anything :)

Your man deserves the applaud 👏 more men need to be as supportive when it’s right to do for their woman. Care for his woman. And look how anxious he looked for her before the surgery! He showed he was worried you could see in his face and moves. Thank god for men like this. My man would’ve just say, NO! And if I went through it, he wouldn’t be as sweet and caring. I would have to tell him what to do 😂

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

He is definitely the best! Took great care of me. I couldn't ask for anyone better to have by my side

[@lorirobbins7475]

I'm going to do it. I'm so nervous already. But I don't want to be on pain meds.

[@heatherfeather1293]

OMG yes. I kept going AWWWWWWW throughout the video. Where can I get a man that nice??? haha

[@ashapplied]

I’m currently almost at week 2 point in my recovery and couldn’t find a single Vlog that had the same amount of pain I had. Everyone made it seem like the pain was so easy-going. This Vlog made me feel soooo validated :)

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I am so glad that my video was able to help in some way

[@michellec3589]

How much time for recovery? Overall are you glad you did it?

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

So sorry it’s taken me so long to respond. It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. Recovery was basically one to two months, the first two weeks are the ones with the most restrictions. I kept living life after that lol

[@hvaferguson]

I love seeing how much your partner and his family love you.

[@breabear907]

Girl your man is so sweet! I hope mine is that way when I get mine done ( in 12 days ). 😂 I’m sure he will but I’m going to send him this video! Thank you for this video. I plan to make one as well. Not a lot of people do these. They are really helping me. ( I also have bad anxiety ). I hope you continue to heal well!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

He really is the best! I hope your surgery went well :)

[@SweetMelin213]

You’re boyfriend is so sweet putting the flowers together. ❤

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I'm so so so lucky! He is truly the best

[@ebonyladawn]

Marry this man!!!! I am excited for your recovery

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I am!! Hopefully next year now that we're engaged. Recovery is great, still some scarring and redness but that will subside with time :)

[@ashleighverral9957]

This is the first video I’ve watched where someone was actually nervous for the surgery! I’m glad it went well and hope you’re happy with your results! I go October 2 and I am so nervous about the surgery so I’m glad to see you made it through even if it sucked for a few days :)

[@jkjk-lh2ww]

[@snipereve]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Your Boyfriend is amazing, love him!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I am so lucky to have had him by my side

[@femalephobia]

I actually appreciate this video so much! First and foremost, because you guys are honest! I learned that plastic surgery videos all LIE! I had upper and lower yes done, and my bat wings. Didn’t see one single video that was in line with the actual surgeries! Or, in line with any honesty or the actual pain of it all! I so appreciate the honesty! Sorry that I don’t see more of your videos. Best boyfriend ever💕 So sorry we don’t see more honest videos! Like my eyes, people said they had make up on the next day, shit, try 5-6 weeks🤯 Liars everywhere! Wishing you both the best!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I am so happy you enjoyed the video. I tried to be as honest as I could. I definitely want to do a follow-up video about my experience because when I went into this I didn't see anyone being fully honest. Yes, it sucked for a little bit and it was painful but I don't regret it at all. Best decision I have made!

[@lyzzacruz]

you talking to your pets about the surgery is the sweetest thing ever, might have to do the same with mine before going for my surgery lol edit: as i kept watching the video i realized i am having my surgery at the same hospital you had yours, that’s pretty cool haha

[@Willow76ny]

Your bf is very sweet for getting you flowers. Keep him.😊

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

Trust me, I am. He is something else

[@carolalvarez3925]

I am on day 4 post op. 75 years old. Drains still in at least to end of week 2 doggies at home. So good to know your journey and what to realistically expect. I had an explant , lift/ reduction. I was overwhelmed emotionally evening of day 2. Better today.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I am so glad you are feeling better. It was tough with the drains but as soon as they are out, you will feel so much relief! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@sforrest10]

Thank you for this video! I Just had mine 4 days ago and it’s so comforting to see someone experience the same things even though the things experienced suck. ❤❤

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I am so glad this video helped! I hope your recovery is going well. Can't wait for you to fully enjoy small boobies haha

[@melissaquinones9738]

My surgery is in 2 weeks and I’m super nervous. Thanks for the Vlog was very helpful. Ps. Rebelde fans 🙌🏻🤣

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I hope everything goes well!!

[@c.r.8548]

Awww, he is so sweet ❤️ ❤️❤️ I'm scheduled for surgery on March 25, 2024. I'm so nervous and happy at the same time 😢

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I know it seems super scary but you will not regret it! I hope your surgery goes well

[@lifemoments6646]

I’m scheduled for the 28th so I know what you mean about nervous but actually looking forward to it. All the best 🙏🏽

[@c.r.8548]

@@lifemoments6646 same to you love ❤️

[@femalephobia]

Who’s the man🤗 Awesome job🤗!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

He was just incredible throughout the whole process!

[@flydiva8]

I wasn’t in any pain leaving the surgery but I was so high and out of it. More than any of my other surgeries, and I had nausea the entire night

[@StephanieLynneMI]

Marry that man!!!!!!!!!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I am

[@candinicole552]

Thumbs up for the flowers!! 👏🏽He's a keeper! 😊

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

He's the absolute best!!!

[@Jesswinterr]

I have surgery next week and im soo anxious

[@lauraclairmont2275]

You need to marry this man. ❤

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

Thankfully I am

[@esperanzanemec7003]

I would like to do that, but I see is painful after surgery. I had a tummy tuck in 2019. Now I want to do the breast reduction, because my boobs are big. I wear bra size 34 DD. I don't like it.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

While it is definitely a painful surgery, I definitely think it was worth it. But that of course depends on whether or not you have good support throughout the recovery process. I don't regret it one bit!

[@missaamane8580]

"I have small tiities" lmao. I feel you!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I have no idea why I said that hahahah must have been the meds talking. Definitely the best feeling ever though lol

[@ronasanchez8865]

Having mine in 2 weeks so scared

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

OMG! You won't regret it. I know it is anxiety-inducing and it is totally valid to be scared but it will change your life. I know it seems like it's a terrible surgery but now, I don't really remember much of it and all I can say is, if I had to do it again, I would. Good luck on your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@bbygrlpt2]

Hi when were you able to sleep on your side and stomach??

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

From what I remember it took me a few weeks. I was in a lot of pain and tried to sleep on my back for at least a month. As soon as the drains were out I definitely felt more comfortable to move around the bed a little bit more but still avoided sleeping sideways.

[@HandbagDiva]

I’d love to get my EE breasts hacked off. I absolutely hate the backaches, the sweat, looking heavier than I am. I just hate them.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

It's 100% worth it. I feel like it was life changing. I experienced the same thing. Prior to the surgery I had I-sized breasts and I was miserable. If you are able to, DO IT!

[@flydiva8]

I just had my surgery a week ago. I was a G cup and hated it. Still healing but I already know I won’t regret it

[@flydiva8]

When I got a rash under my breasts summer 2020 I knew I’d had enough

[@heatherfeather1293]

IDK what to do. The only person I have who could help me is my Dad, but that would be super awkward when it comes to showering LOL. Has anyone ever tried hiring a nurse to care for them?

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

Honestly, you are so out of it that it doesn't even matter! You're going to want to have someone that's close to helo you. But if you are able to and think that a nurse is the best option for you talk to your doctor to try and have it covered by insurance.

[@lizzyh458]

@heatherfeather1293 I had a nurse coming over the first 10 days to help me shower and take care of the wounds. But it's right that you don't really care about who sees your in what condition. As long as they can help you. Good luck! I had my surgery 4 months ago.

[@n.k.4481]

ok so like, did you marry this boy or?

[@donnaparsons500]

What airline???

[@donnaparsons500]

American. I knew it.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

@@donnaparsons500 yeah, the worst

[@rileylacord1278]

My surgery is this month and this helps me, tremendously. Thank you for sharing!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I hope your surgery went well! So happy I could help

[@SA-xt1gd]

I find it the sweetest thing when your boyfriend/spouse/partner is the one that takes you and brings you home from the hospital. Its kinda cute when he’s aware of this procedure. I felt sorta a tad bit on insecure when I know I will be having scars for the rest of my life but my husband didn’t have a problem with it. All he wants for me is to be able to wear all the dresses he bought me before but didnt fit in bust size. I’m 8 days post op and I look forward to removing these drains.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I'm so happy for you!!! I won't lie, I'm a year out and I did not scar well, but I knew that going in given my medical history. They are still not that noticeable. You won't regret it! Once you are able to find something to wear that fits your bust, you will see it was the best decision ever!

[@ellamay.odriscoll5378]

currently 9 days post op, this was really really helpful to see someone have a similar experience to mine, you look amazing btw (and yes it does suck to be a woman sometimes lol)

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

I hope your recovery is going well! If you have any questions let me know. I'm really happy my video helped

[@dancer0887]

My surgery is July 7th! Omg !! I’m so excited but sooo nervous!!

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

Hope your surgery went great and you are healing well! It only gets better :)

[@Enchant314]

Watching this before my consultation but girl that is your husband right there

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

He 100% is! We'll be married in a little over a year. Hope your consultation goes well

[@cynthiahayes2701]

Awesome and thanks for letting us into your life for this experience.

[@Hnymn]

I am really happy for you! You look great and i hope u are doing well. I am getting my surgery September 22 and cant wait (:

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

Thank you!!! I hope your surgery goes well! It really is life changing

[@itschelseakay]

Watching this on October 25th so I hope your surgery went well!!

[@janak9791]

I don’t understand why they send you home so fast after the operation! 😳It’s shocking! My surgeon told me that I have to stay for 4-5 days in the hospital (operation-date is in 2 weeks)😊

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

Hope your operation went well. Some surgeons do recommend staying in the hospital but it's ultimately their discretion (and the insurance's unfortunately). Wishing you a speedy recovery

[@queenbutterflymollydumler8697]

This helped me get a personal perspective. I'm getting mine done on November 2 2023. I'm nervous and excited for it to be done.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU! You won't regret doing it. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out

[@juliaryaz1498]

Please share how is everything after o e year

[@ericaclayton7523]

You were sooo funny!!! But we had similar recovery, only different is that I didn’t have the vomiting. I’m a week post op. as of today! Breast pain isn’t as bad after day 5 it’s the drains and surrounding area..

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

Hope your recovery is going well! Anesthesia really upsets my body and I had forgotten that prior to the surgery but the medication definitely helped. The pain and uncomfortable feeling definitely had a lot to do with the drains and once they were out there was improvement every single day. I'm over a year post up and I can say that it has been the best thing I've ever done!

[@patriciamoscato6586]

R u taking pain meds

[@glendahamilton4148]

I had a breast reduction done over 30 years ago, having 2lbs removed from each side and have never regretted it at all. I was in hospital from the day of surgery, thursday until the tuesday. And the drainage bottles were removed before I was discharged. I don't remember having the pain that you obviously had, but everyone is different. I saw the surgeon every week for a month and then after 3 months. With the final visit another 3 months later.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

That's amazing! Every experience is different like you said. Now most of the surgeries are outpatient so pain management is a little bit different. I feel like when you stay in the hospital they can give you stronger stuff since they are monitoring your pain and dosage and when you go home they only give you a certain number of pain killers and encourage tylenol. For me, the drains were the worst part. They were awful but definitely don't regret it!

[@patriciamoscato6586]

Hematoma?

[@pamelaernstine9751]

Get well soon I just ran across this. I was like omg!!! How awful. I'm not down for plastic surgery but I've seen women with huge boobys omg I don't blame you. How painful for ur back and shoulders. I just cringed when you were in so much pain. I've had alot of surgeries, back, knee, hip replacement going in for my knee replacement this year. I just had so much empathy for your pain. You will feel so much better. God bless you.

[@adrianagonzalezcorrea]

It was definitely a difficult surgery but I don't regret it one bit! It has already changed my life.
