Great Experience with Dr & Team for Breast Reduction
Charming8812September 17, 2021
WORTH IT
I’m so grateful to Dr. Mohebali, and Anya his PA, and Edna at the desk. The whole team made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process of my breast reduction. When people say, I should have done this sooner, it is true! But I’m glad I waited until I found Dr. Mohebali. I can’t imagine a better outcome.
I was able to go from a 34HH to a “perky” 34D. I can wear tops that I never thought possible, my back and shoulders feel so much better, and my self-image is leagues better.

1-Year Post Op
Charming8812September 15, 2021
One year post-op
I meant to post updates at the 3 months, and forgot. One thing on the itchy, redness, and swelling for me…turns out I’m allergic to surgical glue. So others may not experience that.
The reduction size settled to a 34D. And for my frame, they work. Remember this was based off of photos that I wanted to end up looking like vs. asking for a cup size. And since I’d never been flat, it might have looked weird to go to small. Also, with any weight loss (that I’m still working on) I didn’t want to lose more.
The scars ended up looking like the indents you get at the end of the day from your bra. That’s it! They stayed very flat, and aren’t red or too shiny. I’ll be honest, I was not great about massaging the scar tissue, and there are one or two spots where you can feel the scar, but it doesn’t look any different. And there is a bit of a “dogear” on the sides where I didn’t do liposuction. I’m told if you do, you won’t have that.
The nipples still have sensitivity, and there is so much lift. In some of the pics, it doesn’t look like there is, but I’m bad at taking selfies. Between surgery (and WFH for COVID) I pretty much only wear bras to workout. It is amazing!
I’m so grateful to Dr. Mohebali, and Anya his PA, and Edna at the desk. They always made me feel comfortable, and reassured me through the whole process.

Thanks this helps - A year out I get my scars have healed well I guess. I had to do this because of breast cancer and my experience with the medical system has been horrible. I was a about a 36 d and a half. I'm now a D they took about 15% of my breasts the cancer was the left lower 15% of the breast needed to go the other side was to balance it out. It was caught early and I rejected radiation. Just surgery in my case. Anyhow thanks for sharing

Oh I have flat scars the one on the left is completely faded - the right you can see the scar it's flat - I didn't massage I was told not to. My surgeon tapped it all up and I use lotion as I was told too.

Monroe’s Cords
Charming8812October 22, 2020
Found out about the rope-y pain things along my ribs. This is from my PA.
“Happy to hear you’re recovering well! Thanks for sending the photo over, and we do see this sometimes after surgery - it’s called Mondor’s cords:
During surgery, we routinely cut through some blood vessels going to the skin when we make that horizontal lower incision Sometimes this can cause back-up of the blood that is now reaching a dead-end and it can get a little swollen and irritated. It’s something we call phlebitis, or inflammation of a vein.
The good news is, it tends to resolve on its own as you heal. Things that can help treat the discomfort from it are warm (not hot) packs and ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin). It can take a few weeks, but it does go away on its own.”
As always, just knowing that it is all normal makes me feel better.

I hope my scars end up similar to yours.
