Hi Iowa Gal,If your seat belt is comfortable, you shouldn't need any padding. I don't want to contradict your PS, so follow their instructions to the letter. If your PS wants you to have a pillow, then get specific instructions. We use a quick recovery approach which can avoid extra steps postop. See video and web reference below. Besure to see only a board certified plastic surgeon (by ABPS - The AmericanBoard of Plastic Surgery) who is a member of ASAPS (The American Society forAesthetic Plastic Surgery) and or a member of ASPS (The American Society ofPlastic Surgeons). Also, ask if they have an established, high volume breastaugmentation practice, performing several hundred breast augmentations eachyear. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Joe.
Any size that is protecting your nipple from direct pressure should be good. Good luck, Andrew Cohen, MD
It is not possible to tell exactly how much each breast would weigh (probably total for both breasts of around 3 lbs). Estimation is the responsibility of the surgeon that is going to ask for pre approval. This requires an examination.
Hi, you are looking more to make your chest appear breastless correct? If that is the case you are looking for a bilateral mastectomy with nipple grafting. It is possible to reduce your size with liposuction if your breast is smaller.You want to schedule an appointment with a Board Certified...
I think that you have to ask your surgeon what is best for treatment. Heat packs or ice may not be the right thing right now.
