22 year old back and neck pain

  • 28 Mar 2018
  • 2 months post
I went back to the doctor that did my surgery and asked him what had happen and he could really give me an answer. So I went to a another doctor with Avera and he said that he didn’t really know but he could give me some ideas on what happened such as the blood supply didn’t last or he didn’t measure correctly before the surgery. He said that nothing was saveable and that it was best to do a mastectomy of both the left and the right breasts. Than implants would be put in and a nipple reconstruction would be done. My heart fell into my stomach when he had told me that. So I agreed to do the surgery and everything went really really really well. No infection nothing. Here in the next few months I’ll have implants and I won’t be in pain anymore.

Second opinion

I went to go get a second opinion on my breasts and the doctor said that my right nipple is dead because it lost it’s blood flow during surgery. The left one is still draining and the right one has begun to drain as well. So the pain in the right breast has become more serious. To fix this I would have to get a mastectomy and than implants would be put in in the next few months. So I completely lose my beautiful breasts because I had a back pain and it was the best way to fix it.

From the age of 10 I had large breasts. Before the surgery I was a 42ddd and now I’m a 42d. I went to see the doctor to have a consult because I have bad back pain and neck pain. It all went ok and he sent it off to insurance and it was covered. I was going to have surgery January 2nd 2018. I went in and the doctor was 4 hours late for the surgery. I had the horrible tubes in and everything. I call him on Monday after the surgery and tell his nurse what I’m experiencing such as hot flashes and lots of pain and redness and she tells me that it’s something else and not from the surgery. Wednesday of that same week I go back in and my left nipple doesn’t look good nor does my right one. He tells me to go home and put antibiotic cream on it and keep it clean. I get my tubes removed than and there as well. I go back in every week for the next month and everything has just gone down hill. I’m always in pain and I’m embarrassed to even go on dates or anything. I have to change the bandages 2 to 3 times a day depending on how much drainage comes out.

I had a breast reduction because my back hurt so bad. I did all my research and everything pointed to Dr. Nguyen. Hes a super nice guy but he doesn't listen to your concerns unless your crying on the bed in the exam room because your breasts are dead. He ignored my concern for an infection a week after surgery and so did his nurse. My first week post op appointment went bad and so did the rest of the appointments. At one point i ended up crying on the exsm room table because each appointment that i had gone to before hand he had cut the dead tissue out of the right nipple. I didnt feel anything but it broke my heart. He either cut way to deep or didn't measure right. He was also four hours late to my surgery. While measuring the size and everything he seemed like he was in a HUGE rush to get out of there and go do something else. I was in horrible pain for two months because of horrible job.He couldn't tell me what had happened all he kept saying to me is " it was because my nipples were so low". I had a giant open hole on the right breast where the nipple shouldve been and the tissue inside of it was green and it smelled rotten. The left one had a hole but it closed up and that one was draining dead fat. They hurt to put pressure on them. At one point I stopped taking pain meds because nothing was helping anymore. Im not happy. Im 23 and i can never breast feed a child. I had breast cancer without even having breast cancer. Now I have implants and its all because of the breast reduction.
