38 Year Old, Woman with Prior Lower Back Surgery, Gained Weight, 36DDD - Napa, CA

Thank you and thanks so much for helping us consider this. He wasn't very concerned about his professional help. He plans to get his certification in October. I am not too sure about him mainly now because I think in 6 months, with this job I will have a much higher quality of insurance that will gain me access to better doctors. I wouldn't want to make a quick decision because of insurance. It also sounds like we are the same build, because based on what he was saying was exactly the amount of grams too. I have already lost 8 pounds since the visit (way to go!! ;)) he said 575-628 grams would land me a small D/tight C.... So I am wondering now. I too need a lift as well.

Well anthem BCBS is good insurnce .. I'd find out what kind they offer for sure LOTS of employer based plans exclude breast reduction all together so do your homework .. I 5"11 and 175 but I'm thin built . I am right on my high end of ideal weight for me but I'm just a thin build . Might get another consult just to be sure about the amount removed . I was bentonite getting insurnce to pay and one doctor was going to remove that amount to get insurnce to pay . But I had some consults and w really good doctors told me 628 grams is a mastectomy on me . Yiu can read my review and see pictures of mine on it . But you might have heavier denser breasts . Just be sure you're informed . I'm so thandful I didn't rush in and let insurnce cover me there is no way I'd be happy with that much removed Dr baker said 300-350 the he said of for some reason he ends up taking enough off he will help me get reimbursement from insurnce . Like if the tissue is really heavy or he estimated wrong . Your doctor is young and just starting out I see so it's a good idea to get at least 1 more opinion just to be sure they say kinda the same thing . Don't gotta be ecactly the same . But n if 1 says he can take 628 and one says no way yiu can only take 300 you know it's time to research more get another one even . If one says 628 and one says 590 then you kmow they are probably in agreement and neither is really bad off .. let me know if I can help I Bene at this 3 years now so .. ;) f I n ally getting min in 2.5 weeks

Wow, you are thin if you are 5"11. I am about 5'9 and at 165 I look great! I don't want to be too thin but the stomach finally came, lol. My whole life I haven't had a stomach and now I do.... I know another opinion will be golden and a must and I think I just got excited. He said he has done 50 breast reductions but NO photos? That's a problem for me and was for my husband. What cup were you looking for?

So our BSA is about the same we are the same build you're just a tad shorter than me but 10 pounds lighter which makes up for it . Makes sense .. I hope to be a D or large C after the reduction I think that's what I'll end zip with a 300 gram reduction . Some doctors say 200 grams equal a cup size but I have been reading lots of reviews and before and after and that only seems to be true if yours smaller .. the larger you are it seems the more they need to take to bring you down a cup size . About your doctor not having before and after photos .. this I suspect is because he did the reditions as a resident at a learning hospital. The name of it is listed in thr info I gave you . One site said he was resident there from 08-14 so if that's true he has just zippered his practice . So he hasn't probably done nay reductions in private practice BUT as a resident he would have done them and done them on his own . The way that works is the residents working towards a specialty like plastic surgery do surgeries as long as the real doctor is there at the hospital . They don't even have to be in the OR .. they go through the hand holding stage as an intern and in med school .. I'm sure maybe 1st year resident probably has amother doctor with them . But the bottom line is he probably has done 50 and done most or all of them on his own but doesn t have thr photos because hey weren't done in his new practice .. That being said for him to get established somekne will have to finally trust him and let him do it .. yiu have to decide for yourself if you want that someone to be you .. also I could be wrong about all this but it just seems to be thr situation .. thr good news is he IS trained in plastic surgery which is the reason you want to avoid non board certified doctors to avoid those not trained in the field . What you could do is click on "ask a doctor " explain thr situation make sure they kmow he is trained in PS but not certified yet and all hat stuff that he said 50 but no photos to show you and we n suspect the 50 were while he did his residency .. then ask them what they think .. if you think about it really it might be better to go with him .. he is fresh out and won't be sloppy like some doctors get later on in their practice over confident and sloppy and lose their compassion and desire to have a perfect outcome .. he is trained to do it no doubt and it would be crazy for these teaching hospitals to dump them out into private practice not knowing what they are doing .. he is probably fine but to be safe I would at least get a 2nd opinion especially since we are about the same size only I'm a 38-40 which might have something to do with it .anyway but being we are so close to the same size and 1 doctor said we could take thr 575 but I'd just be kinda small and all thr others said no way it would be a mastectomy. . Just be sure .. of course if he has requested insurnce cover it and said he can remove the 575 then he gets in there and the places marked don't yield that weight I doubt very much he would just keep cutting . They don't do that and insurnce usually pays anyway even though doctors will scare you and say if we don't get enough you'll get a huge bill .. I had a nice doctor tell me insurnce has not started denying payment if enough weight wasn't taken . Long as it's not ridiculous like 200 pr 300 grams when he estimated 600 . Thr reason is there is no way to kmow exactly how much they can take my good common sense told me that before but I still worried myself about it till a nice lady doctor told me otherwise so if his estimate is wrong I wouldn't worry .. you might be seeing an up and coming plastic surgery genius . Who knows .. but in reality if he is well trusted in thr field you're probably ok I just flipped when I saw that he wasn't board certified when I researched it I found out he was rationed but just finished residency so that's the reason why .. it's probably fine but do get another option at least and maybe ask our awesome doctors here on real self what they think about it

Lord have mercy I don't know why my android autocorrect us acting autocracy today zip and zippered ? I hope you have your little orphan Annie decoder ring so you can decode my last comment ;)
