Revisions are commonly needed many years after breast reduction. Insurance companies do not usually cover this but it is worthwhile pursuing. Many ASPS board certified plastic surgeons have certified accredited operating rooms in their offices which reduces cost significantly as compared to a hospital. Revising scars, evening out excess skin and tightening up the breasts can make a big difference 14 years later! Good luck to you.
Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, breast lifting is not covered through health insurance companies. My best advice: seek consultation with a few board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully as well. Best to use visual aids such as goal photographs, not a discussion of cup sizes, during the communication process. Working together you will come up with the best plan to achieve an outcome that you will be pleased with. Best wishes.
Should easily be removed without impacting your axillary nodes... as you are not having a node dissection. All your surgeon should be attempting to do is to make the contours better... not removal every bit of accessory tissue present, unless you want the tissue all gone.
A breast reduction reduces the overall size of your breasts whilst tightening all the skin and making them perkier on your chest. It is difficult to assess the exact size that you would be. Talk to your surgeon about what your ideal size would be. All the best
It appears you have developed some wound dehiscence along your incision. This will usually heal well with some simple wound care. I recommend you contact your surgeon for specific instructions.
