1 year anniversary!!

A year ago today, I had my breast reduction surgery. I could not be happier. I wish they were a little smaller but they look 100% better and I feel 100% better! I have had no complications. Every once in a while I still feel like I get zingers but they go away. Also, I have feeling in my nipples but different than before- hard to explain. If you are thinking about this surgery- don't think twice- this was the best decision I made EVER.

Soreness

Has anyone experienced soreness around the scarring? I have been experiencing some soreness on my right side under the breast at the crease where my scar ends. I don't feel anything unless i touch it (I know... than don't touch it) but I don't think it's normal? I'm wondering if it may be scar tissue?

It's been a while!

I am almost 3 months post and I wish they were smaller but I'm still happy I did it and I would t go back! My right side still has a little extra skin and it won't go away. My scarring is very light and gets better every day. Has anyone else has problems with this extra skin or skin not "flattening"? I'm fitting into 36c bras so that is exciting- some D's still fit but at least I feel more comfortable in my own skin!

Dr. Mussat was able to take my vision of what I wanted and make it a reality. The other PS that i got consults from told me they couldn't make me as small as I wanted and she said we can do whatever I wanted! She explained the whole process to me and answered my many repetitive questions. She preformed the "lollipop" procedure on me, which most doctors are not doing these days. This way, I wouldn't have the scar under my breast. The day after surgery she came to my house to change my dressings so I wouldn't have to travel to her office. That was really nice. She is also very responsive with emails, phone calls and texts. Whenever I had a question, she was there, even when she went out of town. She really made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process and I would definitely recommend her. If I decide to have any procedures done in the future, I would only go to her. Thanks for a great experience, Dr. Mussat!
