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 1 week away from being 6mpo from my breast reduction surgery. Everything at first was going great but then at about 1mpo i started to develop an indent on one of my breasts. My surgeon said it would go away. I saw him at my 4mpo appt where he told me it wouldn't go away and that it was because the breast tissue ended there and the rest was fat, the indent makes that breast look way smaller and i have two big side boobs now. One breast is also still square and has not rounded out at all
Will I be able to breastfeed after breast reduction? I am age 26, 53, 135 lbs with a 34 DDD breast size. I do not fit into ANY bras I buy correctly. My traps look swollen and Im bras that actually support my breasts I feel like I cant breathe. Do I sound like I would be a good candidate for breast reduction?
I cant upload my photos? I just had breast reduction surgery July 30, 2018, 4 days ago, I am feeling great, hardly any pain, my question is that I went from a cup size F to G down to a C hopefully, I am very flat with a lot of side boob. the nurse said this is common and that everything will come forward after setteling? can I expect this?
I had a cardiac prob under anesthesia during my breast reduction and the doc wasn't able to do the lipo on the sides. Is there anything I can to get rid of it? I might not be able to do local anesthetic either, and waiting on cardiologist report. Will weight loss help or make it worse?
I've read in a few places that insurance will not cover liposuction during a breast reduction, so I'd like to avoid it if possible. However I'm also afraid of that wide breast shape I often see, that extends under the arm. Can this area be addressed well via skin/fat resection in a longer anchor incision? ( I don't mind a longer scar as I have no intention of wearing a string bikini!! ) Also, if that area is cut out is it included in the grams removed for insurance purposes? Thank you!
I am exactly one week post op from surgery. I understand that there is major swelling the first few weeks of surgery but I am extremely worried about my right breast. Both sides seem to have excesss tissue in the sideboob area but the right looks especially swollen. Any advice?
Hi, I was wondering with a breast reduction do surgeons consider lipo of the side boob kind of flappy skin a part of the reduction procedure? I've read mixed reviews. I spoke with a surgeon who said that in her opinion if a surgeon doesn't do the lipo it's like they're only doing half of the surgery and leaving the patient to be unhappy afterward. The surgeon I've chosen never mentioned it in my initial consultation and I didn't even know about it. So, what's the general concensus?
After reduction and revision I am still having a hard time fitting bras. I have to buy larger cup sizes to accommodate the excess fat and skin. If I size up in the band the problem isn't as obvious but my breasts aren't properly supported from the loose band. What is the procedure called and about how much does it cost? Also I had a lollipop reduction, not anchor..how will this procedure be done? Would they create the horizontal incision on me, or just operare on the underarm area?
I am 4 1/2 months post breast reduction surgery. My doctor did liposuction under my arms as part of my breast reduction procedure and it seems as though this made matters worse. I initially had a lot of swelling and bruising in this area with a fairly large hematoma on the left side. I did not have side boob before my surgery and I have quite a bit now. It feels like pillows under my arms. I'm just skeptical as my side boob has not changed at all since about 6 weeks post surgery.
