I had a reduction mammoplasty procedure last year. Age: 59; height: 56; weight: 161 lbs; BMI: 26.79; BSA: 1.83. He removed roughly 750 gms from each side. Im left with such a small amount that I cant even fill an A cup! What are your thoughts? How do I make sense of what he did and why he did it?
I had my breast reduction one year ago last month. I am SUPER happy with the results, but I have been curious about these marks. For the first month of recovery, they weren't very noticeable, but quickly became larger and darker. I figured they would fade, but a year later they are still here. Does anyone know what these dark spots are, and if there is a way to fade them? Thanks!
i had a breast lift and reduction jan 2023 and i notice now a year and some change later i get these itchy red bumps. Its not extremely itchy and honestly doesnt bother me much, and weirdly only happen at night? and usually the left breast and it seems near the incision from the nipple down, but not exactly on where the stitches were. theyre about a size of a quarter and red and dont seem filled with anything. and it always goes away when i wake up. is this rash normal after 1 year post op?
I had a breast reduction and lift 13 months ago. I went from an E to a A/B. The surgeon made me much smaller than I wanted. They also made my right breast smaller and the scar underneath comes up much higher than the left side. Im not interested in implants but was wondering if I would be a candidate for natural breast augmentation (breast fat transfer).
I had a breast lift/ reduction to fix uneven breasts. Its been over a year and I dont have any sensation, the bottom half of both breasts are numb and nipples are too. However, I do still have sensation in the spots where my nipples used to be. It feels like my nipples are still in their old spots sometimes. I also have what feels like tissue thickening where my nipples used to be. Is that normal or do I need to speak with a doctor about it?
I had my breast reduction/lift almost a year ago. I didnt want implants so I opted to go without one. I want a revision. My areolas are high, have an oblong shape, and are not symmetrical. My breast shape looks square, my scars are not the best, and I have a small dog ear. If do a revision, is there an increased chance Ill have the same results? What options do I have to get these issues fixed?
I am 34 years old female, recently had breast reduction surgery (about 14 months ago). About 3 days ago, I noticed there is puss coming out my nipple stitches (this is supposed to be a dissolveable stitches, but few blue strings still not completely gone). I am having a constant pain around the nipples area, and there is hard lump, about pea size. My question is, is this an infection ? Or something else that are more serious ? And what should I do to treat this ?
I had a breast reduction last year in March. My incisions never healed correctly now my scars look horrible. I've tried steroids shots but it didn't work. So now I'm thinking about getting them cut off. However I'm worried that they will return. Any advice?
I had a breast reduction just over a year ago. Overall I am happy with my result however my scars are redder than I had hoped. I have a previous surgical scar on my knee and from what I remember it took longer than a year to fade to white. When I compare my breast reduction scars to the surgical scar on my knee it seems that they are darker. I find that my scars appear almost white in natural lighting but in all other lightings are still red. Will they fade more even though its over a year?
I'm concerned with the technique used for a breast reduction and lift completed last September. Originally the scar wasn't in the crease and my surgeon revised this a few months later. The technique used extended the anchor scar well into my midline. I don't necessarily want any revision again but is there something that can be done about the scarring? There appears to be a fold and It's very visible from a swimsuit or low cut blouse.
