I recently had a breast reduction and I had my drains removed two days ago. The areas where the drains were it feels soft and swollen but it does not hurt; just uncomfortable when I hold my arms down. The bulge is covered with a gauge. That will stay on for at least 3 days.
I am almost 2 years post op. Had my breast reduction July 2022. My armpits and side of boobs feel sore after wearing a bra. And center of my armit feel ackey aamd sore after wearing sport or regular bra. Its it commun to this happen. My suurgeon took 5 pounds from size F to a D cup. Thanks in advance
I am scheduled for a breast reduction with front armpit lipo in a few months. The front armpit lipo is covered under the procedure bit I will still be paying about $5500. I am 5'3 and about 145lbs, going from 36G to hopefully a large B/Small C. I am considering additional lipo (out of pocket) for $2500, for the fat just behind my armpit. It's always been there. My weight does not fluctuate drastically, is that area worth spending that much money on aesthetically? Is it likely to grow back?
My armpits got fat during pregnancy. And had milk in them. This was over 2 years ago. Im 20. So I had my axillary breast tissue removed about 7 months ago. Im still very unhappy with my results . I still get a huge fat bulge when wearing bras. And still have excess skin! It also swells still. Near my period. I have an appointment with my surgeon again. But I was wondering what I would need done? To fix this an make my results perfect. I just want a normal armpit crease. Ones also bigger
I was curious is there any risk to the lymph nodes when removing this tissue/fat ? I am 10 lbs over weight. The tissue is about the size of an A cup breast it bulges out about 3 inches past my axillary fold aka my armpit.
Had breast reduction a month ago. Everything seems fine but I am numb on the bottom of my left arm (tricep area) , armpit, and the left side if my breast. I saw my doctor today and he asked if that was the side the blood pressure cuff was on. I couldn't remember. He said hopefully the feeling would come back. I am concerned that something went wrong and I am not really feeling reassured that things were going to get better. Is this normal? Do I have a nerve issue now? Thank you.
I'm 5 days post op and seem to be healing well. I had drains for the first 3 days but they were removed at my post op appointment. I've recently noticed that my armpit and underarm (down to about midway to my elbow) is completely numb. I can't feel anything when I touch it. This is the case on BOTH ARMS It's making mobility of my shoulders difficult. What could this be?
Anyone else or when does this off and on numbness go away! Some days it's pretty painful and hard to even wash my armpits .... & my incisions kill me when I get sweaty and workout.... any help would be appreciated.
I had a breast reduction 5 weeks ago with lips suction of the sides (at least that's what the surgeon said he did). However I now have more armpit fat than I did before the surgery and my clothes are actually fitting worse than before having the breast reduction. Was this a result of a bad surgeon or something else? I can't see my surgeon for another 3 weeks cuz he's on vacation but I'm definitely not happy plse help!
