Starting on Breast Reduction Experience - Birmingham, GB

It's now 7 months post op. my scars around each nipple have faded to silver pencil lines. My nipples are sensitive to touch and cold and respond normally. I still have slight reddened scars running from nipple form front of each breast into the crease beneath but I don't notice them. I still have very red scars beneath each breast and the scars sometimes feel tight and sore. I rub pure coconut oil into them ( when I remember) so the scars are soft not hard or raised at all. Sometimes I get mastalgia and my left breast tissue beneath the nipple is very numb but its more weird than unpleasant. My left breast is bigger than the right one ( which was originally the larger) it is a DD whilst the other is a D but I'm not that bothered. I wear a 36 D bra and it just means the left breast fills the cup more, not noticeable when clothed. If I'm picky I would say I prefer my right smaller breast now as its nipple is bang on centre whilst the left nipple is an inch off centre. But they are absolutely fab compared with the 38H (left) and 38J (right) I had before my surgery. I would say this to you though... Be prepared to feel weak and very sore for about 2 weeks directly after surgery. I spent 3 days in hospital but felt I should have stayed in for another 2. When I came home I didn't get out of bed properly for 5 days I was that weak and tired. The pain wore off after 3 weeks and was gone completely after 2 months. Stretching putting on bra and doing it up was troublesome but I was suffering from a frozen shoulder prior to surgery. My breasts are nice and soft now as they were rock hard for about 3 months, then started to drop so they are more natural looking and feeling. My consultant was mr j. Staiano . He was absolutely brilliant. X
