Hi, I'm on a very competitive college swim team, and have very large breasts (DD). I'm 5'6 and very tiny and muscular elsewhere. I was wondering if I were to get a breast reduction, how soon I could resume swimming (at an intense level) Thank you
I would wait for at least 2 months before starting up with swimming -like lap swimming-that way you know you are fully healed
I am scheduled for a consultation in a few weeks for a breast reduction. I have been doing my research and the only concern I have is loss of sensation. Is this something that is inevitable? Do I really have to give this up in order to have smaller breasts? I will go ahead because I know the pro's out weigh the cons but it all actuality it makes me sad to think about.
To-Date I have not seen a patient who experienced complete loss of nipple sensation. In some instances, one or both nipples may had added sensation or may experience temporary loss but typicall during the first 3-6 mos post-op most patients will have resumed normal nipple sensation
Over all I feel like I am wearing a metal bra(madonna circa 1995.My right breast has no real pain at all but the left one hurts.I have limited my RX pain meds to just before going to sleep.Towards the end of the day my breast aches badly, its a cross between feeling like it is being squished and a charlie horse.I find my self taking otc pain meds to relieve the pain. I also find my self massaging the area.Is this temporary or am I gonna have to be hyper aware of NOT massaging my boobs in public?
It is not unusual to experience the type of pain you described. Make sure you follow up with your PS given your f/u schedule and let him know of any discomfort you are experiencing. That way he will be able to tell you more about your pain symptoms. Also, you may be also resuming your activity level a little to soon, so guard yourself against that.
