It’s been such a long time since I’ve been on here but I’m back with my breast reduction review. First off I want to say when I scheduled my appointment with Dr. Dean i didn’t have to tell him anything. He walked in and told me every reason I was there! He examined me and talked to me as if I was already approved by my insurance. He looked at my breast told me his expectations also let me know that my right breast was bigger than the other one. After meeting with the doctor the nurse took me into another room where she took pictures and measured my breast so she can send off to the insurance. She took front view, both side views, and back view. After that I wanted to speak with the surgery scheduler. After a few minutes I was called back scheduled my surgery and left. She said it would take about 6 weeks for a response from my insurance. I received my approval letter in about 3 weeks. I was so anxious and nervous while waiting. My insurance is BCBS of AL. I’m only 1 day post op I haven’t really been in pain today but yesterday I was in a little pain I took a perc! My post op appointment is in a week. I’ll post pics tomorrow after my shower.

Here are some pictures at 1 week post op! I went to my post op appointment yesterday doc said everything looks good I’m healing well. I have a concern about an area under my right breast but according to the doc it could be a blister and he’s not concerned. I am watching this area really close I can’t afford any setbacks! He said I can put neosporin on it. My stitches are dissolvable, I didn’t have any drains, and haven’t taken any pain meds since last Wednesday morning! The pain is tolerable the only part that really bothers me is under my arms but is bearable. I’ll update in about a week or two!

What technique did they use on you? Did you have a nipple graft?
