It's almost 7 years later!

  • 10 May 2019
It has been almost 7 years since my breast reduction surgery and I am still extremely satisfied with the results. I stick to my original conclusion - I would have this surgery again in a heart beat. I was blessed to have such an amazing surgeon. Do your research before choosing one! There were a couple different options in my area but I went with the one who was less flashy (he didn't advertise as much as the other one) but he had much more experience and the results of his patients speak for themselves.

Yesterday (day 9 post op) was pretty rough. My left breast started hardening even more, becoming increasingly more painful. I called my PS and he met me at the ER. I live about 40 minutes away. When I talked to him on the phone he said we might need to operate that night on the hematoma. After he looked at me he said that we didn't need to operate, THANK GOD. However, he did stick a needle in both of my breasts to numb them, then he tried to drain the hematomas. It didn't really work, he said they still needed to liquify, right now they are still too hard. He gave me a script for percocet and told me to ice them. He is going to see me back in a week. Very relieved that I don't have to have surgery but still in a lot of discomfort. I thought my hematoma had gotten better but this weekend has definitely proven me wrong. I cannot wait until the hematomas go away (I now have one in my right breast, too). I felt bad for bothering my PS on a Sunday. He is so sweet and understanding though. Has anyone else had issues with hematomas? I'd really like to hear your stories and how your PS handled it! Thanks!

Day 6 post op: Feeling great. Didn't expect quite this much bruising, but it is mainly on my left side. That breast was slightly bigger, could that be why? Loving my new Bali bra! My breasts are still numb(ish) underneath. I can feel my nipples but not a lot of feeling on the skin underneath. Is this normal? Will it come back soon? The doctor said I could resume normal activities just not aerobics. I have officially lost 4 lbs since the surgery. I'm wondering if my doctor didn't take more than 500 grams from each breast, can't wait to ask. Posting some pics of the bruising on my left side and a few others. Has anyone else experienced bruising like this?

I was referred to Dr. Seaberg by a few different people. His work is excellent. I was told that he is not just a surgeon but an artist and it is definitely the truth! He is very gentle and patient to answer of all your questions. His staff are wonderful as well! So blessed to have such a great experience! If you live in Missouri or a surrounding state, don't hesitate to make the trip, you will NOT be disappointed. This man is amazing! I think it's important you find a doctor you trust and feel comfortable with, and I trust Dr. Seaberg wholeheartedly. I also like that he doesn't have a fancy office to impress anyone. It's very basic and neat. His results speak for them self. I went to school with two girls who had also went to Dr. Seaberg and they had each had implants and one of them also had a tummy tuck. They looked amazing! Granted, I kind of had the opposite done, but still just as pleased. His website is www.seaberg.info Can't say enough good things about this Dr. Seaberg and his caring staff. October 20th - 4 weeks post op. Hematoma is getting better but still there. Ugh...I think my breasts looked better at 2 weeks post op then they do now. They had a fuller shape to them. Has anyone else went through this? I'm hoping by 9 months they look normal...
