The entire staff at the Hanover Md location were super attentive. From the consultation with Yaneek, to Nurse Julie, surgeon Dr. Epps and can’t forget his bubbly assistant Keisha. Made me feel at ease and answered all questions. Had back bra roll, waist, upper and lower abdomen performed on. Never felt any pain throughout the entire procedure, but pain does set in the night after( take your meds as instructed) No pics yet, waiting for first post op appointment. Can’t wait to see results in 3 months Updated on 17 Aug 2022: It’s been 3 weeks tomorrow, since my procedure. Still swollen and hard lumps in lower abs, but I’m living the results on the back bra roll. That’s what bothered me most. It was very sore the first 2 weeks. Had 2 lymphatic massages, but didn’t notice a big difference but valued the information from the masseuse. Wearing work pants( button up) with an board under faja is not very comfortable, but as long as results keep showing, I will continue to do so Updated on 17 Aug 2022: My husband loves the confidence I have with the results. Obviously, not a fan of 23 hour faja wear , but that’s required fur results. My biggest problem is the hard lumps in lower abs. Worries me but it’s soo early in my recovery phase, so I have to learn to be patient. Praying all heals to expectations
I am in dire need of Breast Reduction Surgery. I endure extreme pain due to my abnormally oversized breasts. My breasts are so large that it is difficult for me to participate in everyday activities. I have chronic pain in my neck, shoulders, upper and mid-back. The weight of my breasts is a strain on all these areas, and the pains are increasing steadily. My back crackles and pops each time I try to straighten out my hunched forward shoulders. I am frightened about the obvious and continued misalignment of my spine, and I worry about suffering permanent damage. I am desperately trying to lose weight to relieve this debilitating pain, and avoid future back surgery. Unfortunately, my breast size greatly interferes with my ability to exercise. My bra has ultimately become an instrument of pain as the bra straps cut into my shoulders. I have permanent grooves in my shoulders where the bra straps have exerted their pull. I will always have these scars as the bone has been permanently molded. A reduction will not make this go away. But it will lessen the pull, and cause less pain and disfigurement in the future. I am quite self-conscious about my breast size. I know this is not something that is normally evaluated. However, I want you to know how I feel as a whole. I have suffered a variety of unwanted attention for many years. It is hard to find clothes that fit around the bust, and increasingly difficult to locate bras. I wear a size 38DDD. I Consulted with a Kaiser surgeon, and he feel like it’s medical necessary to go fourth with this procedure.Updated on 21 May 2018: Consulted with Kaiser surgeon Dr. Epps. May, 15 on Tuesday. He was pretty much straight forward. Demonstrated what he was going to do as far as surgery. He took a photo, and told me that his scheduler will call me to set a surgery date. I’m pretty excited but then again I have doubts. So many thoughts are running through my mind, “will my insurance approve this surgery?” “Do I have to pay out of pocket?” Dr. Epps said Kaiser will take care of it but I’m pretty sure the insurance claim still has to approve or not. I hear so many stories others not being approved and they have to appeal it. But anyways, wish me luck. I’m just waiting for that phone call.
