I Am So Happy I Did It!
ORIGINAL POST
I've been wanting a breast reduction for at least...
WORTH IT$5,500
I've been wanting a breast reduction for at least 10 yrs now. Once I had my son and I breast balloon more, I then knew that it was time. I have been afraid for years to have the surgery, but I finally started to go through the motions of trying to get my insurance to approve my surgery. After a few visits to my primary doctor explaining to her how much my neck and back hurt, she finally submitted my paperwork to the insurance company. I called the PS myself and set up a consult ( my insur. Paid for that as well) literally one week after my consult, I got a call from the PS office stating that I was approved for the surgery. I was in total shock! I was nervous but READY!!!!! 5 days post op, and its the best decision I ever made.

9th day of recovery and right boob still hurts.
I have been having major pain in the right boob where the incision sight it. Its still swollen and is very sensitive to the touch. My sports bra is soft and I still have room in it, however, it hurts to even have it on because my right boob is still swollen. Is this common? Thought it was supposed to get better each day. I was doing good until yesterday when this pain started.

I did read someone else was having pain closed of 2 weeks.. does it feel hot at the touch, does it look more red?

No its not hot at all. Just aching real bad. My steri strips are still on so it shouldn't be infected or anything. I've been extra careful about keeping the area dry too. I go to my ps office tomorrow so he can check it out. Not taking any chances.

ok I dont think you have an infection if you had one you will also have kind of fever but the doc will look at it :) also some days are worst too.. I remember one day I was all good and then the day after geshh I was in pain.. sometimes it is causes by your night of sleep too.. and dont do too much :)

You know, the position i slept in could be problem and i've been trying to be really careful. And it's so true, some days are worse than others because I don't remember it ever hurting as bad as yesterday. Idk, just trying to be patient and I know it takes time. Thank you ;)

Allow 2 months for swelling to go down, bromelain tablets between meals 3 to 4 times a day help a lot

Day 9 right still swollen bad
Went to the ps today and the tape was taken off. He said that im healing well. I'm just ready for swelling to come down on the right breast :( I know that they heal differently, but dang. My right boob was the bigger one initially and he did take more out on that side but im nervous. It has only been 10 days...I'll try and calm down. I just pray they're identical at the end of the day!

They are sisters, not twins!

You're right, and i get it. :)But the right boob is definitely much more swollen than the left right now. They don't have to be identical twins, but I know a lot of sisters who look more alike than my boobies do right now! Lol. I'll be patient and just relax and heal. I'm sure the right boob will be ok in a few weeks.

Everything looks really good from what I see. I hope to be the same size as you when I'm done.
