16 month update and not very happy
Be aware: this office/Dr. mention on their website - side of breasts will be addressed/fixed and liposuction will be done but actually they don't do much (at least in my case) Now they are saying its just minimal what they do to the sides and its very minimal liposuction like one to two teaspoons so if one requires more (and with bigger size breast most of us do) thats not resolved during breast reduction. I am just so upset why i was not told this earlier.....? now i have to go through this again and pay more than what i paid for the full breast reduction to get it resolved - not to forget the pain i will go through again.
I tried to find photos of other reviews posted for the same Dr so i can compare and i noticed there are many positive reviews but no photos which make me wonder if they are genuine or if they have similar issues.
Now when i try to talk to the Dr. Nygaard and staff suddenly they are not as friendly or easy to talk to. Now they are trying to play with my mind and making me feel as if i am making things up or they never said or they can't do anything. Today the staff member put the phone down in the middle of conversation when i was trying to explain what my insurance told me and that they are asking to submit to them details of revision.
I am going to get second opinion, talk to my insurance again and then decide what to do.
after two months
positives: i like the size of breasts now - from E-F cup down to a C. My incisions are neat. I had a small openings at T which healed. Smaller one healed in few days and the little bigger on right side closed at about 6 week. Those spots are darker but rest is looking good.
now not so positive: I have side rolls and in fact more than before. I am still wearing 38 band and now i am spilling out at back and under my arm which was not that much before. My doctor said it is swelling and will go down but i don't see much difference so far. Another thing i am worried about: on left side, at the end of incision i have a cone shape protruding out, looks really weird. I was told this will settle down and if not then its an easy fix under local anaesthesia through some trimming/touch up. The most thing i am worried about is a lump in my right breast, upper half, right on top of areola. Its almost the size of an egg. Dr Nygaaard said it may be a scar tissue or fat narcosis but they won't know at this point for sure. They think sometimes this resolves on its own and if not they will have to go back in. Anyways Dr. they wait 6-12 months before doing anything. So for me its a wait game now.
I like the doctor and office staff and i feel if something is not resolved with time, they will fix it. so i am going to stay positive.
I will post an update again in few months if there is any improvement or i am having revision/touch up procedure.
I had my three week appointment yesterday.…
I am also almost off of pain medicines - just taking arnica to reduce swelling and tylenol PM only when l need (not every night). I also take vitamin C and Vit. B complex. Protein shake and fruits daily.
In general i am feeling pretty good. There is still some swelling on the lipo sides and probably still some on breasts but so far healing is going well.
Provider Review
In the beginning i felt good and thought i am in good hands. I was treated well and staff was friendly. Dr Nygaard answered my questions and they gave me good post op service during first few weeks. Later i started facing issues like scheduling appointment to discuss concerns and revision. I have issues like scar tissue at several spots, lumps in my breasts, cone shape end incision in under arm area and very prominent side roll/skin which makes my breasts look wide and boxy and also i have discomfort and pain in that area. One of the main reasons I choose Dr Nygaard is that (they advertise) they address side rolls and do liposuction of the sides too. Now i am having issues and now they are saying side of breast are never addressed. Now the staff is not as friendly since i have issues and require revision - like they don't want to do it Or do it in their office OP which is not covered by my insurance and pay them. Today I tried to talk to the staff to discuss revision, first she won't let me talk and then when i asked her to let me explain she hung up on me during the conversation when i was trying to tell her that my insurance is asking to submit revision details. I am just upset and confused and i want to write this down so if you plan to see this doctor just be careful what you ask and what you will get. May be if there are no issues and requirement of revision, the experience may be just fine but if you have issues like i do - the experience might not be good unless you are willing to pay lot of money.
