Good morning, I am about to do my breast reduction in 9 days. I weaned my two years old, but i realize I still have milk when I press hard around my nipples. My PS said it won't bother the procedure, but it stresses me out a little. Also, I breastfed more than 2 years so boobs are already empty and like they were before. So I am not concerned about the shape changing once totally dry but more the presence of milk still during and after procedure.
I had a breast reduction exactly 6 months ago along with liposuction to reduce my side boob area. I'm 5'8 and about 160lbs. I was a 38F/G and now a 36C/D. Unfortunately, one breast is a C and one is a D. About 4 weeks post op, my left breast started to pucker in along the scar and at the same time my right breast started getting bigger. The surgeon thought the left was due to hard scarring and that it would soften and that the right was swollen and would come down. Neither happened. The surgeon now thinks that breast tissue on the left wasn't getting enough blood flow and died, leaving the puckered/dimpled spot and the breast smaller. And she's not sure what happened with the right except that it's gotten larger - with the inner part much larger pushing my nipple to face sideways and the outside to look lumpy. She said corrective surgery is the way to go. That she'll move the tissue around on the left to get rid of the dimpled area and will further reduce the right so they are the same. Is another surgery wise? It seems like it could all happen again and I'll end up with B and C cups. Is it normal for a breast to get larger so soon after surgery? I could live with the left but am really unhappy with how the right looks and feels. Any advice is welcome! Thank you.
I had a reduction 15 years ago with great results. I meant to have a revision to fix some minor skin flaps near my armpits but never did. I recently started having a pain in my left breast near my scar that feels like being snapped with a rubber band or skin tearing. There are no marks on the outside of the breast and it only hurts when the breast moves, not my arm. A compression bra is helping keep the pain at bay until I can see a dr. Any ideas what's going on here?
Hi, I am 51 yr old female. I had a full hysterectomy 3 years ago and went into surgical menopause. I was prescribed Estradiol 1 mg. I have been consistently taking estradiol. Before the hysterectomy I was DD cup. I am now an F cup. If I get the breast reduction and continue taking estradiol will my breasts grow? If so will it be significant? I am comfortable with a C cup. Please advise. Thank you
During breast reduction surgery will my nipples die if I have smoked hookah during 3 times during the past six months. I know the nurse said if I smoked there would be a risk but I never thought about it like this until I was at the hookah bar. Someone please help me because I am freaking out and I am scared. I've never smoked cigarettes or anything else in my entire life!
I have always been large breasted and have always wanted a reduction. In the past 2 years, I have given birth to two children and breastfed. My youngest is now a year old and my breast have not returned to "normal" size. I am still wearing my maternity, size F bras. My back and neck hurt all day long. As I said earlier, I have always been large breasted. Will insurance allow me to be a size D, or must you go really small? Am I a good candidate for insurance to cover my breast reduction? I am 33 years old, 5'7", and 165 lbs.
I am 17 years old and I weigh 130 pounds. I am 5'3" and have a 38 F/G bust. I want to get a breast reduction but my insurance say "patients are generally female and at least the age of 18". Because I am a year below this, will it effect the approval of this surgery? I have chronic neck and back pain and have quite a difficult time doing everything because of my breasts. I really want the surgery done now, so do you think my insurance would cover it? What should I do to get covered, what doctors should I see? My health insurance is Boston Health Net Plan. Thanks!
I had always been a 36-38 J. I have lost weight and have found myself with a pair of flat pancakes that amount to a 32-34 I. I am having rash issues and no matter how dry I keep things, well, the rash persists. I don't want the anchor cut. I am of color and have seen too many surgery scars that make that prohibitive. I am looking for a way to help with the cost of surgery should reduction be the best option. Or should I look into having the girls stuffed again? I don't mind having Js again but I can't deal with flat Is. Any advice would help.
I had a breast reduction back in 2021. I was left with pretty bad scarring and an indentation under my right breast. Also, almost lost my right nipple which there is still some scarring. What would be the best procedure to do to fix the appearance and also the most affordable. I am not opposed to small implants as well.
I had a panniculectomy in January 2025. I now feel top heavy and want to have a breast reduction and lift. What would the procedure entail? Would I need to have my areolas moved? If so, would I lose sensitivity?
