My Boobs Were Taking Over! - Ashland, KY

Well I have had a complication with my breast reduction surgery. My left nipple area would not heal. It became very dark with dead skin. Finally, my doctor told me he needed to cut the dead skin out so it will heal. Well after he got into the breast he said it was worse than he thought so he had to cut about an inch deep to get it all. Of course I am freakin out. Now I have a hole in the upper part of my boob that has to be packed and changed twice a day. Then in a few days, I will receive some kind of pump thatvI will need to wear 24/7 until my hoob starts healing. I am so upset and scared. I just can't post pictures because I am so embarrassed. Maybe I should have just dealt with the pain of big boobs instead of going thru this.

My boobs were taking over my life. I was a C my entire life until I had a hysterectomy. When I did that everything in my body changed. It's like I woke up and bam bigggggg boobs. Before my surgery I was a 40DD/DDD. I am 40 years old and 5'4 tall. My neck and back hurt everyday. I cried every morning because I didn't have any shirts that fit and if they did fit they made me look 20 pds heavier than I was. I got to the point that I wouldn't even let my husband look at me. My friends would call me cow [RS bleep] which really pissed me off. So I finally decided to go have a reduction. I didn't tell anyone not even my husband that I was thinking of getting a reduction. Now 2 weeks later, I am so glad I did it. I have had some problems though. My right breast is healing wonderfully but the left is not. I was a smoker and my doctor thinks this may have contributed. I went for a check-up Monday and he thinks I might have a little scar on the top of my left nipple because the skin is dead. Well needless to say I am pleased with that. I was very worried that I might lose my nipple or need a skin graph. I do not smoke anymore.
If I can drum up the courage to post pics I will but i don't know if I can.
