What Are the Chances of Developing Pain from Scar Tissue with a Breast Reduction?

I am thinking about getting a breast reduction. I'm worried about the likelihood or chance of having pain later in life from scar tissue. ive been reading online blogs/chats/posts from women who developed radiating pain years later (4 years/10 years later). Are some people more likely to get this versus others? What are the factors that increase this likelihood? I would be going from a DD to a C. Thanks.

A: pain following breast reduction

Hi!

Thank you for your question.

I would not worry about getting any type of delayed chronic pain following your breast reduction because the chances of it are very low. In my experience, most patients are very happy with results following this procedure and it can really improve your quality of life. If you have any reservations, I would recommend discussing them with your board certified plastic surgeon who will perform the procedure.

Good luck!

I Had Breast Reduction 10 Days Ago. What is Wrong with the Bottom of my Breasts? Is This Double Bubble? No Implants! (photo)

I Had Breast Reduction 10 Days Ago. What is Wrong with the Bottom of my Breasts? Is This Double Bubble? but I Had No Implants!

A: Double bubble after breast reduction

The tension in the closure after breast reduction can indeed give the appearance of a double bubble pushing the breast tissue either above or below the natural breast fold or envelope. As things heal and relax the breast will shape again and the double bubble efffect will resolve, unlike the ones associated with a breast implant.

32H Extremely Dense (>75%), Risks of Reducing from H to B? (photo)

I am a lean, athletic, large breasted 5'8" woman with size 32H breasts. The density is level IV, per BI RADS. I would like to reduce them to a B. Aside from the obvious symptomatic problems I imagine a B since I just don't favor larger breasts. I envision a loose button-up shirt, baggy jeans, hanging out in my art cottage, in a mostly private setting. I am a bit of an introvert. Plus, I am a lesbian and more tomboyish. Does this pose special risk's due to density, like to nipples?

A: Imagine the B-cup after reduction

Your breast is full and dense and the nipple is pointing to the floor. To under stand what a B-cup in a 32 is like you should go look at one, and try to imagine how you could possibly fit into it. Even with a full 'T' reduction the geometry of your breast will allow a D-cup after reduction, but the loose button up shirt (even without a bra) should be a go.
