I am a 40 H. I just got the drs appt to go to the plastic surgeon. I am so terrified to take off my shirt in front of him. How long after the consultation is the surgery? How long does it take for WellCare to approve it? I know they would approve it.. and last ? do I have to take pictures? The thought of having to stand in front of someone the way i look now is just so scary to me. i am so self conscious. I'm not even afraid of the surgery part. I'm so tired of all the negative attention of huge boobs!

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; it is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Generally speaking, it is a very well-tolerated operation. Most patients require a period of rest/care for about one week after the procedure is performed...
Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. Your photograph does not appear to be concerning BUT always best to run your concerns/questions by your plastic surgeon. Ultimately, nothing will replace in-person evaluation to rule out complications. Best wishes.
