Asked By:bigboobiesco

Hi Im a 42 yr old ,and use insulin for my diabetes. I was wondering how my diabetes will affect surgery/ results? I have 48 DD/ E breast. I have been this size since I hit puberty at age 11. I have wanted a breast reduction most of my life. I have back, neck and shoulder pain. I also have deep grooves on my shoulders and often have rashes under breast. My biggest concern is nerve damage/ sensation and scaring.
