Reduction

After I wasn't really given any hope for pain relief other then pills, personally I can't be on them while raising 5 children, so I declined. Which I get can be understandable annoying, he's offering something to stop the pain and I declined. They made me groggy and out of it, he gave me another lesser dose but I had the same issue, It made me feel out of it and awful. My breasts 2 years later look awful to me and my husband not the shape but these odd bumps. The necrosis didn't take my full nipple on the left side so I guess that is good news. Since the surgery My scars are extremely raised and red still which doesn't bother me too much however ever since the surgery I have had these awful little bumps that are filled with white and yellow tissue, almost like pus filled pimples but much thicker to me it's disgusting and now I hate my husband seeing me naked. I was asked by the doctor what I didn't like about my breasts because to him the shape looked more appealing which I won't argue with. When I told my doctor "yes there were tears" that I was grossed out by the odd bumps, he said I should seek therapy if I am that concerned about it and don't feel like I can't undress in front of my husband because of that " I am not usually a crier but yes, I was upset it lookes like I have STDs on my breasts , It's upsetting so I cried. They also said they would do any reversion surgeries needed at no cost and offer nipple tattooing " I don't want to say they didn't offer" however My feeling turned a bit sour when He had told me I could contact him directly for any concerns while we were dealing with the necrosis and I sent him this message" I'm Wondering if hard lumps in the left breast that had wound separation and mild necrosis is normal, also I am still having nerve pain on the left side although it's gotten better I seem to have a stabbing like pain every few hours. Nothing worth taking meds for since the pain is usually brief but I'm wondering when that will go away. his response was This is my private email. please call the office and we will schedule an appointment so that we can discuss these things... at that point I have been done and just dealing with it "pain and odd tissue coming from my breast still" on my own, If I contacted him a lot I could understand that response but I only contacted him 3 times on that email EVER an email he said I could use. I also never called his private phone line unless I was directly asked which was only on the day that he said I had necrosis and I needed to come in ASAP. I wish I never did this reduction it was physically and emotionally draining. I gained back 40 of the pounds I lost all around my middle because I became less active after the surgery and didn't feel comfortable going on hikes with my group any longer, I found the stabbing pain embarrassing because in reaction to the pain I would put pressure/ grab my breast and the stabbing pains would and do come at such random times. 2 years into it I have learned to put pressure on it when I have pain without much notice. The good news if you are thinking about this surgery is out of the hundreds of reductions he has preformed I was the only reduction that ever dealt with necrosis so this is a very rare possibility. He told me the pain would get better, It did get a little better but the shooting pains still happen. Overall I am frustrated.

He is very professional and his staff is wonderful and supportive. They took time to answer any questions big or small. The surgery only took a few hours :) I am day 2 into recovery and my back pain is almost gone! I know if I have any question with recovery I can count on they to address my concerns.
