On April 29 (3 weeks post op), I woke up feeling nauseous and immediately had to make a bowel movement (twice). My breasts felt fine but, I noticed a smell that was not there. Throughout the day I was freezing but apparently the house was warm, and still nauseous with stomach pain. I waited to see if I would be fine, but the next day there is still an odor and later on I began to feel nauseous again with a headache. I also started my menstrual cycle so I dont know if it is because of that.
I am getting surgery at the end of the month to fix asymmetry. The plan is to reduce the size of 1 of my breasts to match the other + lift to both breasts. At time of surgery Both my breasts will be swollen due to pre menstruation.They are much bigger during this time. Will it cause the doctor to reduce my breast to the size of the other swollen breast? I'm afraid it will affect my results and they will look uneven when the swelling reduces after menstruation. They do change drastically in size.
I'm 3 yrs post op. In the last year I've experienced extremely soreness in my breast, usually about 2-3 weeks before my menstrual cycle to a point where I can't stand to even touch them. Is this normal or should I seek a second opinion?
I am 6 weeks post op on my breast reduction. I still have not had my first menstrual cycle post op and am starting to become concerned. My hormones have been all over the place the last 2 weeks so I keep thinking its right around the corner but I have no other of my normal symptoms. My last cycle ended about 5 days before surgery. Is this normal??
Im at day 2 after breast reduction. I am very swollen and my stomach is very swollen as well I had a Ablasion surgery about 8 months ago but I'm bleeding after my breast reduction surgery. Is this all normal? When will the breasts losen up and not be so swollen and tight. Feel like their going to pop.
Until age 44 I was a 34 C. With firm breasts. Even after childbirth and breastfeeding my breaths went back to normal. I am now 47 and my breasts have ballooned to a 36 DDD. They are also sore, sometimes painful and heavy. I feel sometimes like I cant breath, I have back and neck pain and grooves in my shoulders from my bra straps. If I have a reduction, will my breast still be painful and sore and fluxuate in size during menstruation?
I'm 32 years old and in less than a year, I went from a 38DD to now a 38DDD. I try to exercise but, it is difficult with the additional weight of my breasts. I also get cramps on both sides of my upper back that are often painful. Im losing weight exercising however, the weight in my breasts are not reducing at all. What makes it worse is during my period they swell up to almost a size bigger. Is there any type of insurance that would cover or help cover the cost of a breast reduction and lift?
