Answer: Is a breast lift covered under medical insurance if I had a breast reduction 14 years ago?
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.
