59 years old Breast Reduction at Iscare in Prague from 36J to 36c

My right breast recovered with minor scarring and it's a nice shape My left breast is larger and suffered the most. I habe quite a large scar after the abscess and a hole to the side of my nipple which is an odd shape. The UK surgeon said I could have revision surgery next year and that is what I will do. I have no nipple sensation at all in either breast but I can live with that. I've lost about 14 pounds in weight too, so figurewise looking a lot better amd younger. My healing was complicated and difficult. I still think it was worth it. I'd do it again in a heart beat, even knowing the complications, so for amyone considering a breast reduction I''d say the benefits outweigh the risks by a long way. Despite the scars on my left breast, I have lost years and gained a youthful appearance. I've even changed my hair colour and style to compliment the new 'me'. Much happier with my appearance now that the ordeal is finally over ;)

The ultra sound showed that my infection is superficial... So didn't need to syringe me. I took a photo of the new problems. The hole on the bottom is quite clean and only requires packing and dressing. The one above with the yellow stuff has a 2cm hole and pus and will take longer to heal. Don't look if you don't have the stomach for it... It's not pleasant. The hole above the right nipple is quite small now and almost healed. I'm hoping for a full recovery by mid June - 6 months after surgery.

I was hoping to post good news here. Only 3 weeks ago after an ultra sound scan showed I was free of infection and continuing to heal well, I developed a fourth infection in my left breast. I now have a large hole below the left nipple that requires packing and expiration which will be carried out on Monday. Luckily I don't need a genersl anesthetic as I booked a holiday with friends in Southern France next week. My surgeon said I can go... But not swim or exercise. I have to pack my new wound carefully too. I'm on two types of antibiotics so hopefully this will heal soon and I can once again hope for a speedy recovery from what now seems like an endless ordeal.

I have to stay positive. My right breast has almost healed now... Just a small hole left in the areola. I will be so happy when this is over.

My advice to anyone contemplating surgery is to do your homework on the surgeon and hospital.... In particular the after care. Luckily I live in England and have benefitted greatly from our wonderful NHS and have been cared for by top breast surgeons for free. Goodness knows whst would have happened to me otherwise. I thank God for that. I will have big scars... My surgeon said a revision may be possible in one year's time. I am not sure I can cope with any more though... Will just be glad when it's all over and I'll have to learn to live with the disfigurement. I'm now thinking my big boobs weren't so bad after all. The biggest disappointment is that after being measured for a bra I am a 36E... Still big. More uplifted however.... With ugly scars.
