Breast Reduction: Amazing Experienxe

WORTH IT
After a lot of searching for surgeons and places that would accept my insurance, BCBS Mass, I found Dr. Chang at the Plastic Surgery Center in Jersey City, NJ. My initial consultation was great! He was quick and told me all the steps involved, how small he could get me, (I was a 36 GGG) and what recovery would look like. He answered all my questions and I really liked how respectful, friendly, and sweet he was. So I scheduled the surgery for about a month later and sent them the paperwork needed. Because of covid times, I had to go in and get blood work and a covid test two days before my procedure.My surgery date included a 6:30 am call time and I was brought back right away. I was given a gown and was told everything that would happen from there on out. Several doctors came and explained how the anesthesia would work and to make sure I didn’t have any questions. Everyone was so nice. I finally got wheeled back and immediately was given drugs to knock out. It took me about 3 hours to come out of the anesthesia and I don't remember much other than before I was discharged I was given some extra pain medication for relief. I was given a prescription for antibiotics and pain meds ahead of time too so those were already waiting for me at home. Dr. Chang and the nurses gave me and my partner instructions for recovery and made sure we totally understood before leaving.Recovery felt difficult. I couldn't lift anything or raise my arms up for about two weeks, so my partner helped a TON. Everything from helping me shower to getting me water and changing bandages. Sometimes I’d have really intense pain in my breasts but Dr. Chang said that was normal. I also had a stitch start coming out of my skin hurting a lot and I was immediately scheduled the next day to check it out—the nurse painlessly removed it!I had two follow up appointments post-surgery, one-two weeks after and another a month after that. Both follow-ups went great! My scars are lightening a lot and the pain is gone now. I got down to around a C or small D and feel so so much better. Because of my size, he also lifted my breasts, so I don't even wear a bra anymore and they look great! I couldn't be happier with the whole process and my results and highly recommended Dr. Chang if you are in the area.

Hi! I just wanted to know how the process worked with the hospital bills? I know that BCBS is covering most of my surgeon's portion, how did they cover the anesthesia and whatever else?

Hi! I have my BR surgery with Dr Chang in 2 months. I'm a 34DDD but i was a lil hesistant on how small he'll let me go. Did Dr Chang allow you to go as small as you wanted? Did he listen to you and achieve your small goals? I've heard so much about doctors not listening to their patients and getting them the size they want so I'm just curious as to what he will tell me on surgery day and if he will let me go from a DDD to a B ?
