Breast Reduction Here I Come!
ORIGINAL POST
I've been thinking about a breast reduction for 15...
WORTH IT
I've been thinking about a breast reduction for 15 years now. Seeing a picture of myself in a swim suit last month did it for me. After seeing a pain management specialist for the past 2 years and being prescribed Vicodin every month for the pain, I asked my primary care doctor if he would get a referral for the breast reduction. It took about 3 weeks and I had an appointment with the plastic surgeon. Yesterday I went to see the him and he said I was a perfect candidate and that he'd take good care of me. Waiting for the final approval from the insurance company, but have the surgery tentatively scheduled for September 4th, when I come back from 10 days with in the mountains with my husband.

I am 6 days post op from my BR. You won't be aloud to do anything for the first week, no lifting at all. I made sure I had everything in order, house, laundry, bill paying, groceries, etc. I am very, very pleased with my reduction, wish I would have done it years ago!!

Thanks Lucy. That's great advice, I didn't think about having all that done pre op. I'm happy you are pleased with your reduction, I'm so excited to get this done. The days go by so slow.....

It will be here before you know it! I can't say mine has been "painless", but nothing terrible. My best advise is listen to your post op instructions. Feel free to ask me anything :)

My reduction has been painless, truly. I went camping the day after surgery! :) I've just been sore, but I would say that sleeping comfortably is super important post surgery. Placing pillows all around my torso really helped. Good luck! Keep us updated!
