WORTH IT
Hello... Not all cases are the same but this is my story. I was hesitant to publish it but I've seen so many things here that I thought it important to share it so they can make the best decisions. Excuse my english because I am Hispanic and I am still practicing. If you have any questions you can ask me in confidence. I was always a woman of large breasts. from my teenage years I remember having bigger breasts that my friends (36 DD). This always brought me health complications and difficulty finding shirts that fit me well. Not to mention the adventure of buying bras ... was crazy! In 2013 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Because some medications and changes in lifestyle, I gained 50 pounds of weight and my breasts grew further reaching 42 DDD wear bras. Back pain became more and more unbearable as the pain in my shoulders that were already affected by arthritis. I arrived at the office of Dr. Chun referred by my primary doctor and after evaluating my case, consider the medications I take, etc. found that was a candidate for a breast reduction and that this would greatly improve my quality of life. Dr. told me about the different types of surgery, the right size, possible complications and recovery. She decided to do a different common surgery because he feared for my pre-conditions and medications, wounds will not heal properly and had some complications. This is why my wounds are horizontal and no vertical wounds below the nipples. But this form of breast surgery is more extensive, it was the best option for me and no regrets. My surgery was approved (medically necessary) and paid in full by Mass Health and was performed at the Brigham and WomNot all cases are the same but this is my story.

Seeing Dr Chun in about 3 weeks. My breasts look much like yours. Did Dr Chun do a free nipple graft with this technique?
