Would Do It Again in a Heartbeat! - Columbia, MO

It's almost 7 years later!
WORTH IT$7,200
It has been almost 7 years since my breast reduction surgery and I am still extremely satisfied with the results. I stick to my original conclusion - I would have this surgery again in a heart beat. I was blessed to have such an amazing surgeon. Do your research before choosing one! There were a couple different options in my area but I went with the one who was less flashy (he didn't advertise as much as the other one) but he had much more experience and the results of his patients speak for themselves.

Yesterday (day 9 post op) was pretty rough. My left breast started hardening even more, becoming increasingly more painful. I called my PS and he met me at the ER. I live about 40 minutes away. When I talked to him on the phone he said we might need to operate that night on the hematoma. After he looked at me he said that we didn't need to operate, THANK GOD. However, he did stick a needle in both of my breasts to numb them, then he tried to drain the hematomas. It didn't really work, he said they still needed to liquify, right now they are still too hard. He gave me a script for percocet and told me to ice them. He is going to see me back in a week. Very relieved that I don't have to have surgery but still in a lot of discomfort. I thought my hematoma had gotten better but this weekend has definitely proven me wrong. I cannot wait until the hematomas go away (I now have one in my right breast, too). I felt bad for bothering my PS on a Sunday. He is so sweet and understanding though. Has anyone else had issues with hematomas? I'd really like to hear your stories and how your PS handled it! Thanks!

I am one week post op and have lots of bruising. my boobs feel very tender and sore which i think is normal. Hope u feel better soon. heat worked for me. everytime i take a shower i let the hot water run down over me and its feels like heaven. Try laying on top of a heating pad just dont put it directly on ur boobies! or maybe a hot water bottle might help. but only leave it on for a few min then take it off again. sorry u are having such pain!

Thanks for the ideas! Sorry you're having such soreness as well. I LOVE SHOWERING! Haha, it feels amazing. Do you have steri strips on? My steri strips have been on for about a week but it looks like they might need to be changed soon. I see my PS next week and I'll ask him about it.

Day 6 post op: Feeling great. Didn't expect quite this much bruising, but it is mainly on my left side. That breast was slightly bigger, could that be why? Loving my new Bali bra! My breasts are still numb(ish) underneath. I can feel my nipples but not a lot of feeling on the skin underneath. Is this normal? Will it come back soon? The doctor said I could resume normal activities just not aerobics. I have officially lost 4 lbs since the surgery. I'm wondering if my doctor didn't take more than 500 grams from each breast, can't wait to ask. Posting some pics of the bruising on my left side and a few others. Has anyone else experienced bruising like this?
