- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

5 weeks post op
I can finally sleep on my side at night. I was able to cuddle up next to my husband last Friday night. I almost feel normal now. I am still wearing the binder around my belly. It keep my pants from pressing against my lypo bruses. The hard bumpy places are still sensative and I still have some brusing especially below my pubic bone.
My breast scars are still very tender, and probably will be for a long time. Bras are still a problem. If the band rolls or pulls or pinches.... Wow. I am finally able to reach above my head at a stretch. I am still careful with lifting more than 10 pounds. In one more week I will be as healed as my body is going to get.

10 day out.
Most of the time I don't have any discomfort. I cannot say I have had much pain at all. Most of my discomfort is associated with swelling at the end of the day. I still have muscle spasms in my chest, so I haven't started back crocheting yet. I really miss my hand crafts.
I am having itching spots in my abdominal area. But I don't scratch, I press the area just a bit. Except for my stitches which I try to ignore.
Over all, I am very pleased.
My breast are very boxie but I expect them to " drop and fluff" at some point. I was not aware that my nipples and surrounding area would not have any texture after the FNG. I am not crazy about the fact that they look like they are "colored" on with crayons. But.... The trade off is that I got my small C cup.
My Lypo is great also. The swelling is annoying but manageable. The compression garment is annoying but manageable. When I take it off to shower I know it is worth being annoyed.
I am 100% happy I did the breast reduction and the abdominal Lypo !

Drainage tubes out!
I had my drainage tubes removed yesterday. I took a pain pill because I thought I would need it. It was two smips and a small pull on each side. I forgot to ask if I was supposed to put a cream or antibiotic on my free nipple grafts. I called today but got less than a satisfactory answer from the staff. I have a follow up apt on Wed so I will ask then. I loved getting the tubes out, on the other hand I have had a heck of a time finding a bra that fits. Because of the stitches? I am happy with the size, just a little nervous about the free nipple graft.
Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
2809 Earl Rudder Freeway South, College Station, Texas
Surgery is scheduled for September 23, 2015. I wrote about him in the body of my review. But it bears repeating. He was personable, educated and I liked him. He was gentle in his approach either in speaking or physical examination. He warned before touching. Which I greatly appreciated. He is cautious and was not afraid of questions. He expanded on answers I expected short answers to. I hope that he is as good a surgeon as he is a doctor.
