48 years old.....Need a BREAST REDUCTION BAD!!! Pray It Get Approved!! - Houston, TX
UPDATED FROM RedLady14
**REVISION SURGERY REQUIRED** I an NOT happy :(
Hi Ladies.....Wow, where a do I start!!
I went back to my Dr because first of all I still have some pain in my right shoulder and wanted him to look at that and second, my right breast is still bigger than my left (a size bigger). He explained when Iv had the surgery it was alot of swelling. Well, my breast hasn't gone down.
He explained that surgery would be required to fix the issue. Lipo would remove the needed fat, but not the tissue and it wouldn't tighten up the skin. So a full revision of that 1 breast is needed.
Overall, I am EXTREMELY happy with my results (my breasts look so so good), I'm just upset I have to TRY to find time off work (just started a new job) and down time is like 2 weeks.
Wasn't planning this is 2015!! Please pray with me!! Luv you all!!

Aug 10, 2014 Update. Right breast looks bigger
Hi Ladies,
I wanted to update you on my progress. I'm still in some pain. Minimum pain and itching. It is bearable. I'm 3 weeks post, and I know I still have swelling, more on my right side, but my breast looks bigger on the right side. I go to the Dr. on Aug21st, so I'll talk with the Dr. then. The right side had healed great, the left, the incisions are still healing, around the nipple is taking longer in the left side to heal. I've heard I won't see the true results for 5-9 months, so I won't panic on the right breast as of now. I'll keep my eye, on it tho. Can you all see the difference? Please share your thoughts with me. Thanks so much!!!

the breasts can heal at different rates, hope all settles down, you look great.
Thank you hon for those words. The Dr. said it was swelling, I know he sized them the same. I can just see the difference. Thank you!! I have no more pain, so I'm happy!
you look great!
Thank you hon!! I still have swelling in the right breast, and is hurting/itching so it must be healing......nothing i can't handle.
Hey sweets! You look great and your scars are clearing up very well.
Thanks!! My scars do look really really well. They are coming along so well. You can barely see where they cut me......
Mine are clearing up as well. I finally did an update. I'll do another one this week some time.
Great!! I'm going to take some close up pics of my scars. They really look good, you can
barely see them. I'm so glad we are both healing well. I go back to work Monday. Are you back working???
I have went back to work. So far so good. I'm not with my normal client but I'm back at it.
Hi there! You look great. I just turned 48 and am three weeks post op. I am going to dr. Tomorrow. Hooe you have a speedy recovery! !
Thank you! I have some pain, went to work yesterday but stayed in this morning. My scars really look good. They are healing real nice. Pictures don't show how things really look. I'll be 4 weeks post on the 16th of Aug. **HAPPY BIRTHDAY** Mayaprincess!!
Thank you for the birthday wishes! My left breast looks like it has dropped a little more than the right. The Dr. Told me its normal and will continue to change for several months. So, be patient with the changes. :)
You're welcome!! Hope you enjoyed your birthday. Yes, I've heard from several friends that had a BR that 1 may drop and look different over the healing process. Thank you so much you sharing that, i need confirmation. Thanks again hon!!
How big your boobs have to me for them to approve you
Hshardea, I'm not sure how big they need to be. I just know I went for my consultation and they set up my surgery date. So I'm not sure. I was hurting bad and complained about my back and shoulder/neck.

You looking good. I still have some swelling going on.
Thank you!! Yes not sure what to do about the swelling. I guess in time it will go down. When did you have your surgery again? How long ago?
I had my surgery on July 16th. I think the same day as yours. So today makes 10 days. I think I made a big mistake of wearing a waist trainer for a few hours It is the kind with the straps. My right side is bruised. Maybe I should have waited. :-(
Yes we had surgery on the same day, your incisions look healed and closed, mines are still opened and look a mess. Are you applying anything to them? I have Vaseline but my incisions are still bleeding a little, not alot.....but in areas. You are healing so well. Oooo
no, so you have some bruising from that strap. Yeah, you may have had to much pressure on it. The bruising will go away soon.
I thought we had it on the same day. I use neosporin on them twice a day. In the morning and in the evening. Sometimes I might have a dot of blood. Yesterday was the first time I went with out my liners in and I didn't have any bleeding. Thank you! I think it was most likely from the trainer itself. Its one of those corsets. I won't be putting that back on for a while.
You are doing GREAT ! Nice size and shape for your Body !
Thank you Wendy sweetie. I like and love my size and shape of my new breasts. The Dr. did a great job. I have that swelling on the right side and I'm still leaking under my left breast. I'm healing......slowly but I am.
