Breast Reduction

Good morning John

I just wanted to drop a quick note to tell you I am thrilled with my new breasts.  My husband (who didn't think I needed anything done) says I look fantastic and years younger without my matronly bosom!  I was a little shy yesterday when I came in and there was another visiting doctor present so didn't tell you at the time.  Please pass on my thanks to Melissa as well who was wonderful at alleviating all of my concerns yesterday.
