A Much Needed Breast Reduction - Baltimore, MD

Today was my final appointment with Dr. Kumar. I can truly say that this has been a pleasant experience. My recovery went well, I am healing well, and I am truly happy with my results. The decision to get a breast reduction was one of the best decisions that I ever made and I am so happy that I decided against it 3 years ago, because I would have went with another doctor. Dr. Kumar and staff have been great the entire way. My scars are starting to flatten more and the redness is almost completely gone. I still use the bio oil and massage the scars twice a week. I still have some achy pains in the morning but it's tolerable. I also have some pain on the right breast we're the incision line is at when I wear a wire bra, but I expect that will diminish with time. I will say though, my breast are very itchy at times, but it's nothing that the bio oil and massage doesn't fix. My breast are a great size. I no longer have back pain and my posture has significantly improved.

So it's been about 16 weeks since my surgery and things are going well. I feel like I'm getting bigger and bigger with each month. The doctor said they would get smaller but they are definitely getting bigger. I can fit D and DD bras. Anything is better then what I was before. I haven't felt back pain since the day of surgery and it's amazing. My scars are starting to soften and the redness is slowly going away. The scars are still thick, however I am very happy that they haven't keloided and hopefully they won't. I have been using bio oil at night and coco butter in the morning. The mederma didn't work and left my skin itchy and flakey. I purchased Bio coredum but it did the same thing as The mederma. I think the scars will naturally fade over time. Over all I am very happy with my results. Hopefully they won't continue to get bigger.

So I am 8 weeks out and things are going well. I recently had to make a doctors visit because I had stitches poking through. It caused some swelling and extreme irritation and some pain. Dr. Kumar pulled the stitches out and it was a huge relief. My scars are raised but they still look good. I have been doing scar massages and using bio oil, Shea butter, and Mederma. I don't like the Mederma because it's sticky and flakes. I am going to try Bio corneum next. I still have a little bit of swelling. There are still spots on my left breast that are num. hopefully as time goes on the feeling will come back. I do have sensation in both nipples. I no longer have any restrictions and life is back to normal. My right breast is larger than the left but I still love the result
