Nipple Reduction Worth It!!!

1 Month post op
I'm really struggling with this site to get my review up, so this portion is totally unnecessary. I'm just attempting to get to 200 characters so it will post. Review still stands from what I typed yesterday.

I explanted breast implants in August of 2019. I was left with very little breast tissue (which I expected), but what I was not prepared for was droopy nipples. My skin gradually tightened, but the nipples did not change. They were elongated and droopy from almost 2 years of nursing babies, while I had implants. My breasts are currently not a "real" bra size, so the only things that really fit are compressive sports bras. I had substantial pain wearing sports bras for any length of time. I couldn't even tolerate wearing a bikini top for more than an hour before I needed to remove it (not fun for a vacation by the pool all day, with friends.) In addition to pain, the skin beneath my nipples would become moist and white (like your fingers do when you've been in water for too long.) I consulted with Dr. Wright about nipple revision options. He spent a lot of time listening to my concerns and current issues, then presented several different options. I was also concerned of scarring, as I tend to scar easily and heal slowly. I was not worried about the size of my areolas, so we decided on nipple reduction only, with incisions only on the upper portion of the nipples. The procedure was performed in a surgical center, with local anesthetic only. I was able to communicate with Dr. Wright, the nurse, and surgical techs, all who were AMAZING, the entire time. After the first side was complete, they sat me up and let me check out the outcome. I'm pretty sure I smiled the biggest smile I've had related to my breasts, in at least the past several years! I'm glad I saw the outcome of the first side during the surgery, because by the time I got home, everything was swollen, and didn't look as nice as my initial view. After 2 weeks, the swelling in my breasts returned to normal, and the incisions were completely healed. I only took pain meds for 2 days after the procedure, gradually tapering off as I could tolerate. Sutures gradually fell of throughout the course of 3 weeks. My post-op consults were both by phone, with the option to come in if I had any concerns. I live several hours away, and with COVID19, I opted to do phone follow-ups. Everything healed beautifully, and I am now able to tolerate being in a sports bra ALL day, without worries of moisture or skin breakdown! It has been a life-changer for me!!!!
