4 Weeks Out, Struggling to Lose Weight After Breast Reduction Surgery?

I had breast reduction surgery 4 weeks ago, from 38DDD+ to 38C. I've done Weight Watchers since 2 months before surgery, and am continuing. I resumed walking 3 days after surgery, increased distance & speed. I was cleared to resume my normal workout schedule, easing in w/ weightlifting. In the last month, I've followed strict plan of working out & eating (drink 100oz H2O, low sodium), and have managed to gain 4 lbs. Is this normal, am I retaining water? I am 7 lbs. over healthy BMI range.

A: Diet, Exercise, and Surgery

Congratulations on the diet and exercise program as well as your recent breast reduction surgery. It sounds like you're on the right path. Given that the body can fluctuate +/- 2 pounds throughout the day, your recent surgery, and the fact that weight-loss plateaus seem to increase as you near your targeted BMI, it all sounds perfectly normal.

Don't be afraid to ask you plastic surgeon these same questions and definitely consider bringing in the additional expertise of a personal trainer and/or nutritionist to see what they recommend to continue and progress your success.

I Am of Mixed Race 38ddd What Kind of Scaring Can I Expect?

Mixed race (black/white) used to be 185lbs,5ft 7in.Suffering from extreme back pain.Am now considering breast reduction after losing 10kl(about 20lbs)to help relieve back pain.

A: Everyone scars differently

I have operated on many African american pts for breast reductions surgery.  There is definitely a higher incidence of hypertrophic scarring in this patient population, but i would say that despite this the vast majority of breast reduction patients are happy to have had the surgery irregardless of the scars.  Especially given your severe back pain, it sounds like the sur very will be worth it for you. Good luck!

Breast Reduction and Lift 6 Month Ago and Shortly After I Developed a Small Lump and Pain, What Could this Be?

I had breast reduction and lift 6 month ago and shortly after i developed a small lump and stabbing pain and after a xray of my breast the doctors told me it was not a solid tumor but acummulated liquid but I has been 3 months and the quater size ball has not gone away any I get periodice stabbin pain where the ball is what can this be?

A: Painful lump after breast reduction

The painful lump you are describing is most likely an area of fat ncrosis. This is an innocent lump of tissue that shrivels up and gets hard. Sometimes it can have a cystic, or fluid filled, area. I would suggest seeing a Breast surgeon, not usually a Plastic surgeon. They can often perform a needle aspiration and help reduce the size. You might need an ultrasound, mammogram or biopsy but I doubt it,
