Breast Reduction/Lift

ORIGINAL POST

Breast Reduction/Lift

WORTH IT$6,000
I'm going to try to keep this short. But I've had serve breast asymmetry all my life. As soon as I hit puberty at the VERY young age of 8/9 my right breast grew at an abnormal rate then my left. This of course left me with extreme low confidence within myself. I couldn't bare the thought of wearing anything low cut. I wore a breast prosthetic from Tillges - Maplewood,MN for majority of my life but got ruined in a biking accident when I was 16, so I would just use many bra cups to 'stuff' my bra. I went to numerous doctors when I was younger who keeping telling me the left breast would catch up to the other. I'm 23 now and the left never did. So this year I decided to finally get this done, and I'm happy I didn't waste another second.
I originally wanted to get this approved through insurance but got denied. So I paid out-of-pocket... best money I could have ever spent. I first saw Dr. Peng 3 years ago but couldn't afford to get this done at that time. She made the process very easy; I set my surgery date 5-8-18(got a packet of do's and not's before surgery in the mail), had my pre-appointments about any concerns I had, paid two weeks prior to surgery, got my medication a week before surgery, and surgery day was a breeze, spoke to the anesthesiologist, marked up for surgery... and it was game time! For the right breast was a traditional lollipop incision, the left breast just a vertical incision (just a lift).
Overall, I did consider getting a small implant in the left breast however, I didn't want a implant at all... personally preference. I'm so so happy with my results... things look 10 times better. I'm writing this and I'm 7 months post and I have no complaints, as far as nipple sensation I still feel BOTH nipples (which my nipples were NOT completely removed during surgery) thank god... one of my fears.... if anything there just a bit more sensitive right now. Thank you, Dr. Peng and the amazing team. She is such a sweetheart, and she LISTENS to what you want and your concerns like a pro...which she definitely is. If I ever get anything else done, I'm headed her way. Highly HIGHLY recommended!

Im glad u r happy with your procedure. But it looks as if the opposite one is now bigger than the other. I had a breast reduction done as well as a tummy tuck too but my breast now has asymmetry difference.
