4 year post-op update and inverted nipple treatment!
WORTH IT$6,500
Hi everyone! It’s been a long while since I’ve posted an update, but I thought people might find it helpful and motivating to see what a breast reduction looks like years and years later. I’m very happy with my results! I measure at a 34DD.
However, one thing that I’ve always been deeply insecure about (and my breast reduction made worse) were my inverted nipples. I’ve had them since birth, but I noticed that they became even more inverted post-op. I had looked around for options to correct them, but they were all surgical and had a high rate of re-inverting. My surgeon told my they would only be able to get corrected surgically and that would ruin any chances of breastfeeding later on. That’s when I found Dr. Lisa Sowder in Seattle, WA who uses piercing as a safe, minimally invasive, (and if I might add fun) way to treat inverted nipples. This technique also helps to preserve as many milk ducts as possible, where as many surgical options would sever your ducts almost completely. I can’t believe more surgeons don’t talk about this as being an option to pull out inverted nipples! I could cry. I’m so grateful for both Dr. Kayan and Dr. Sowder. Together, I finally feel like my very best self.

Had my 3.5 week check up today!
It's been a little while since I've updated...sorry! So I'm 3 weeks and 4 days post-op today. Had my check-up with my PS. Went so well. She peeled all the extra scabby looking glue off so they are starting to look MUCH better now. I'm getting more and more excited everyday to really feel back to 100%. I've been feeling great though. No pain! I've been back at work for 2 weeks, I drive, take brisk walks (with permission from my PS). Everything is great and she said everything looks perfect. ???????????? I have a teeny hole that developed on my left breast, but she said it was nothing and that it was completely normal. Just have a keep a bandaid on it and change it everyday while rotating it so that the sticky area doesn't irritate the skin in the same spot everyday. Yayyyyyyy!
