Nipples

So, been awhile. 3 years since surgery. My scars look phenomenal, and u can barely see them. I wanted to go back and look at my progress and story. My nipples are really upsetting me more than usual here lately. In my after surgery photos, where my nipples should be are huge dimples, or holes. I remember seeing my mother and my aunt's face when I came out of surgery, and the nurse said don't worry they won't stay like that. Well, they have. I have noticed that when I'm trying to find the right one it feels like it's under the areola and not centered where the nipple should be. I can kind of see it in one of the pics. In all the photos on this site, I am unable to find someone's after surgery pics where their nipples are dimples, or caved in. My decision to have the surgery was still worth it, but I feel like a freak. My Dr tried telling me that maybe they were inverted before, and that it's hard to tell in my before photo because they are hanging so low. Umh, no I had nips for 39 years. I don't know to talk to him again, or maybe get a second opinion. Just trying to find someone else on here with something similar. Also, has anyone had really bad itching on their scars for no reason? No rash or raised bumbs. Just a mad itch.

1 year and 3 .5 months later

Hi everyone! My baby girl arrived May 1st at 9lbs and 22 inches. She is perfect in every way! I was able to produce breast milk even though my glands were severed and some possibly removed. I had to use a nipple sheild, because my nipples were still dimples. It got to be very frustrating. The sheild would fall off, or she would knock it off. I eventually just started pumping the milk into a bottle for her. I was absolutely amazed that I was able to produce after a breast reduction surgery. Then the 7 week mark hit, and its like my body just quit. I was pumping every 2-3 hours, and it would take all day to make an ounce. I decided to quit, and was thankful that I was able to supply for her for 7 weeks. I tried supplements, oats and whole grains, drink mixes. Nothing helped. I believe it may have been because of the surgery? Idk, but I am 12 weeks post partum, and my breasts are going back down finally! I never got to heal all the way due to getting pregnant 4 months after surgery. My surgeon said that once swelling goes away that my nipples should come out. Well. Finally swelling is going away! Lol they are starting to come out more. Except if I am laying on my back they are completely inverted. That is embarrassing. My husband says he doesnt care, but I do. Deep down I think he does too. I have a follow up appointment with my surgeon on aug 20th. Im thinking of cancelling it. Insurance will not cover surgery to fix that problem. My surgeon says he doesn't really recommend it, because its painful and will make me have no sensation whatso ever. What do u all think I should do?

Just checking in!

How is everyone? Baby and I are ok, she is a girl btw! The breasts are doing fine. Im a lil discouraged with how big they're, but it could be a lot worse if I didn't have the reduction! I'm trusting what my surgeon said that they will go down in size after birth. I asked him if I would need another reduction, and he pulled up my before photos. That calmed me down! Lol they are nowhere as big as that! I hope everyone is happy with their surgeries and that u are healing fine!

Although I barely remember most of recovery I was told that a nurse massaged my shoulders for me, because they were very badly tensed up. I was very cold, and the nursing staff made sure I was warmed up quickly. I had trouble urinating, and they were patient with me in making sure that I did so before going home. They even brought me chicken noodle soup and a large ice water for the road. I felt kind of bad for asking for the water to go, because I know it isn't a restaurant! I was so thirsty though! I appreciate the excellent care I was given! I highly recommend Community South Surgery Center to anyone. Dr. Hsaio is very professional and informative. He also eases your mind from any worry. I was having a bad reaction to what I thought was pain medication, and he called me at home right away. He immediately knew it wasn't the pain medicine, but the antibiotic. So far I have had no complications, healing wonderfully, and feel so much better than I did before the surgery. I feel this is because Dr. Hsaio is an excellent surgeon. He does remarkable work, and I am very pleased with my outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Hsaio to anyone.
