Hello! I'm a 5'7 142 lb 52 y/o peri-meno woman, I had a breast reduction at age 29. At the time, my breasts were a very heavy and pendular 36DD/DDD. I was reduced to a large C/small D. The Dr. apparently did largely a lift + a small reduction (more skin than tissue removal). And I was happy! Now, (after proper fittings) I wear a 32/34 F. And I'm back to shoulder pain, neck pain, etc. But I'm also amidst severe hot flashes, fighting meno weight, etc. Should I wait?
Hello doctors. I have just had a reduction from 32H to 32D. I am post menopausal, and struggle a little with symptoms, I've been thinking about bioidentical hormone therapy - namely estradiol patches and Uterogestan pessaries. I do not want to take oral HRT. Is there any chance this hormone therapy could increase my new breast size? Grateful thanks for any advice.
I wish someone would acknowledge the truth and quit telling me that my belly just appears bigger. In the 1.5 yr since my BR, I've gained 30lbs all in my belly. I'm not an over eater. Something about the breast reduction caused my body to react in a way that makes me store fat at a rapid pace. Could it have caused early menopause? Did it create a surge in hormones? Please don't tell me that its all in my head.Has this happened to anyone else?
I am 5 months po from a reduction & breast lift. I had 100g removed. I was a 34DDD prior to surgery. I want to be a C cup. Post op my breasts were high & tight and I was excited. Now 5 months out & my breasts are just as large as before. They are uneven and the bottom portion in falling. My nipples have stretched. It appears some breast tissue has grown back. Is this possible? I am 53 years old going thru menopause. Will have revision in a few months. My PS is very experienced so I'm confused.
I m 53 yrs old, 5'1, 110 lbs and a 34DD. I am post menopausal and am so ready to get my body back. I am concerned with scarring around the nipple due to my fair skin and small areolas. Is there any way to avoid this? I was a 34C until menopause and estrogen replacement. Would love to get down to a full B or small C.
My biggest fear is that my boobs will grow back after some period of time. Any advice/opnions? I'm short, 51 and a 32DD in a roomy bra. I developed early and have always had back and shoulder pain no matter what bra I wear. I also hate my breasts for getting unwated attention. They sag, don't really have any sensation and basically are just painful. I am finally ready to get them off me and I really scared of going through elective surgery. My fear is............they will come back!! I've heard a few women who did the surgery say that. I am done having kids, but I've heard menopause or birth control pills can even make them grow back again. Would love to hear what you have to say about this. Thank you
