10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

[@traceymanzano4015]

I had mine yesterday!!! The BEST decision I've made!!!!

[@ana_mdsantos]

I made mine last October and although I'm in a early stage of healing, I'm super happy with my decision as well. I new life is waiting 😊

[@fec9496]

Are the nipples still numb?

[@commentstella9950]

Was it super painful?

[@ana_mdsantos]

@@fec9496 my left nipple is still numb, yes. I felt everything on my right boob since the surgery day. The left one I started to feel it 3 months after but not that nipple.

[@ana_mdsantos]

@@commentstella9950 you know what, it wasn't! My surgeon said to me before they surgery that I should not worry because breast reduction is not a painful surgery. And she was right. In Portugal we need to stay in the hospital for 3/4 days so that we can rest and have help after surgery, which was great by the way, specially because I had drains. But we only take very light painkillers because honestly we don't need much. The thing I think it's the most uncomfortable is the itching as the area starts to healing. The scars are very sensitive as well so sometimes is a little bit sore. But overall, best decision ever. I'm truly happy

[@katherineheasley6196]

I had my reduction four months ago, going from a 36I to 36C. I love it. It's greatly lessened my back/neck/shoulder pain, and I adore the way they look.

[@Anneayail18]

I just had one on 2/23/2022 and immediately I noticed I stand up straight and my shoulders aren’t in pain

[@yo_kai2342]

Hi iam getting mine done soon can you tell me a little more

[@manuelarivera718]

Ugh! I need to have this done My back, and shoulders are killing me!!!

[@Lisa-pg7ci]

I breast fed before and after surgery, no problem.

[@MajesticMaincoon]

Wow. And what about the size and shape change if you have child after the surgery?

[@Maddy_plays1]

I just had one last Monday and it was a huge change for me. I was from a DD to a C the surgeon said I should be about 6 weeks fully heal. I do have one slight complication that my nipples were restitched and my right side has a wound. but overall my surgery is overall good. The healing process is going to take me a while until I feel back to normal or myself again.

[@bethrolf3728]

Just had my surgery 1 week ago..ended up with side boob fibroids which is so painful..went from a DDD to a C..has relieved my back pain... happy healing

[@Cathypix360]

please is expensive

[@tntexe8949]

I have consultant appointment in July 19th, I really hope they say yes to the surgery because I am in pain. When i lay down they move up to my neck and i can breathe, they are in my face. I have shoulder, back and neck pain, my posture is all messed up from it. i was 260 lbs, and I am now 200 lbs. i lost so much weight and it still hurts. I hope i can qualify. If i wear a proper bra (if i can even find it in my size) i feel like im being choked, and its tight and it hurts from all the weight Update: they said i just need to lose 10 more lbs, and i can get the surgery!

[@aimaunuigbe]

Hope you were able to get the surgery done! I can't wait to do mine soon

[@JuJuForREAL]

I have my first appointment scheduled for April! I’m still shopping around. So excited. I’m 30. Wish I did this sooner.

[@bbygrlpt2]

How did it go?

[@jacquelinemolloy2977]

In considering breast reduction surgery. I am disabled with thoracic scoliosis and honestly I get so much pain in my shoulders and neck. I'm a 36J (uk). But I am 30 and I do worry about loss of sensation or memory pain.

[@anyahgarrion4113]

I’m excited for mine !!!

[@nandiphatshaka2525]

Am looking forward to do it,the info I got here makes me feel very optimistic and can't wait to have it.

[@jessicarobinson9248]

I’m so curious about breastfeeding after breast reduction. I’m pregnant with my third and hope to have another baby someday. I’m 32 and I have nursed my two oldest. I’m a 36i right now, but when I nurse I go up to a 36K, though the last time my bras felt too small in the cup. I was spilling out a lot.

[@sharonvisser6051]

This information was very informative, thank you! 👌🏼

[@end19981]

Hi I've been thinking of getting a breast reduction for a little while and I've been researching surgeons. I was wondering which type of incision do you do? I've heard the anchor one usually leaves more scarring.

[@2breastsurgeons215]

Thank you for your question! The type of incision often depends on the size of your breasts before surgery. The most common incision is the anchor you mentioned. Sometimes, a lollipop incision is also possible. The lollipop goes around the areola and then straight down at six o’clock. I hope this helps!

[@sumanglanangia7388]

How do stretch marks affect the surgery?

[@andreaheide2382]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@deborahcardile6634]

Have you have reduced breast size from a DD to an A cup? and if yes complications

[@wintersprite]

While I’m not sure what size I ended up as I’m only six days post-op and it can take several months for the swelling to fully go away, I was a 36DDD and wanted to go down as small as possible so A cup if my surgeon could do it (B would be fine too). Unfortunately they can’t guarantee a specific size as in order to avoid needing a free nipple graft, there does need to be enough tissue remaining to keep the nipples alive.

[@wintersprite]

I’m 37 and just had mine done six days ago.

[@anacubas6444]

How was it? How are you doing now?

[@lorramokoka7778]

Who long did it take for them to be bealed

[@daniellejohnson2373]

I'm thinking about getting a breast reduction because I feel like im carrying weights on my chest and my back hurts all the time and my breast make it kind of hard to breathe due to the feeling of carrying weights on my chest

[@latoyamiddleton6375]

What about phentermine? Do you have to stop?

[@euniceappling7912]

I lost a lot of weight and my breasts are hanging and very deflated. I don't even know what size I wear anymore. I was a 40DDD before my surgery. I also have a lot of back, shoulder, and neck pain. Is this something that will help me?

[@tntexe8949]

I have the exact same issue and exact same cup size. I was 260 and then i went to 200lbs. im 42DDDD. boobs have deflated too. and still a lot of back,neck,shoulder pain Im going to see a consultant next month! I think you should go for it too! :D

[@JesusIsKing50]

Mine are 38 FF got my consultation 10 th August. I pray they do the surgery, neck shoulder and back pain is frustrating, and bras make it worse 😢

[@kaylizzie7890]

Same. I lost 80lbs and went from a 42G to a 32G. I hate how saggy my breasts are and I find I have more back pain now than before I lost the weight.

[@karenhutz3311]

I am having a reduction done 10/5. I am 65 and have waited until I was ready, ( Kid’s out of college, and weddings done), plus had the extra cash to spend since my doc does not take insurance for breast reductions only for Cancer patients after mastectomies. I am currently 5’9” and a DD and depending on bra DDD, and I want a C cup like before kids. I am worried about not being small enough, and I know my doctor will go with what he thinks, but I would rather be a small C vrs an overflowing large since once healing and swelling is gone I have heard from many women they wished they were a little bit smaller. Please advise, and thank you.

[@rachaelxss]

Hope your surgery went really well & that you’re recovering perfectly fine !

[@shaffehaffejee3657]

Sushmita: it's your body so persist in what YOU want - it's your body not the surgeon's.

[@esperanzanemec7003]

I have back pain, lower back pain, neck pain also. I sweat a lot under my breast, also I get itch under too. It bothers me. I'm 5 feet tall and I wear a 34 DD bra. I feel like my breast is too big

[@qrpcoaching8198]

There are several ways to improve your situation. First: strengthen your back muscles by exercising. Second: try to lose breast weight by targeted exercises. Third: surgery; my less favorite because they may come out looking unnatural, and when you have a childwish, it is possible that you won’t be able to breastfeed

[@MajesticMaincoon]

I am 32 yo, no kids but planning to have one before 35. Always had big breast (75E/F) and as I. Am identical to my mom I know that during the pregnancy it will grow so much more. That is my fear. As I know that the bigger the size the less chance to have aesthetic small results, but on the other hand if I cut it now till B/C cup, will it grow back and get saggy as preop?

[@jazzywazzy7134]

I’m so jealous I want it done so bad, I get so much neck pain and back pain. My doctor told me that I have to be under 170lbs to get it done? And I weight 242 is that true?

[@littlebear9847]

NO! I would get a second opinion! I am 230.. and im getting it done. i think some people wanna jump and judge our pain on our weight without even knowing what we are going through!

[@jazzywazzy7134]

@@littlebear9847 Thnk youuu! Definitely will check!

[@nandiphatshaka2525]

Same applies to me, the back,neck pain and bro straps that are very painful let alone the money that I always spend trying to get bros that would git well and comfortable, I can't participate in sport and even joining the gym,my Dr advised me to firs work on my weight,its better to endure the pain on the reduction once and for all.This will soon pass .Thank you for sharing ❤

[@wintersprite]

It depends. If you can get insurance coverage, then your insurance will likely want you to be at least under 30 bmi. While being at an ideal weight beforehand is preferred, you don’t need to be. I’m 174 lbs and had mine done (bmi of 29 currently). Just remember that gaining or losing weight after surgery can affect the results. I wanted to go as small as possible as I do want to lose some more weight.

[@lokisoushi644]

I'm about to have mine soon but my school starts 10 days after the surgery I was wondering if that's enough time for it heal and if I'll be able to move around I also wanted to lose weight before the surgery but it's all happening too fast Will I be able to exercise after my surgery? Or will it disturb the stitches and sag the operated breasts

[@alanaapolito4543]

I got mine done 5 days ago so maybe I can help with some of the information i’ve learned. My surgeon told me that most people can go back to work within a week as long as you’re not on your feet all day. for me personally I work with 2-3 year olds so I can’t go back for about 4 weeks because of lifting and being on my feet all day. you won’t be fully healed for about six months but in about six weeks you’ll start to feel more normal again. At day five i’m feeling great and i’m walking around fine but you just feel a little uncomfortable. I wouldn’t recommend working out until atleast 6 weeks after so you don’t mess up the incisions and the way they heal. I wish you the best of luck on this journey! make sure you take care of your mental health also because it’s a huge change and can be very emotional.

[@wintersprite]

@@alanaapolito4543Hmmm, I work in retail in checkout/bookkeeping and initially put off from work for two weeks. I wonder if my surgeon will let me go back after that or make me wait longer as I usually am on my feet all day. Or I could possibly do half-shifts for a couple of weeks (four hours a day instead of eight). I’ll find out soon.

[@ronikaprasad230]

Hello I am having my breast reduction soon in New Zealand.. i wanna knw if the drain is good or no..

[@Tagilook]

I did it also but am not satisfied ,the size and they are not the same at all she deducted from Dd to B and this is not I want and they r totally different and it is almost a month and the wrong one is still painful 😢

[@bbygrlpt2]

Why?? Too small or too big?

[@CuteBlueCherri]

How is it now? Have they gotten more normal over time?

[@littlebear9847]

Back to the breastfeeding question! I am a mom of one. I breastfed my child until they were 10 months or so. I loved it! During breastfeeding, my breast got huge. I went from a DDD to an F.. so im going in to have this done.. however, my question is. Since one of the risks is sensitivity to the nipple and possibly less milk supple when breastfeeding, would you be able to even fed at all? Or even feel your baby is latched on?

[@danamorrison7078]

After breast reduction how soon can you fly on a plane ?

[@Candie5000]

At least 3 to 7 days after

[@teodoramilosevic5545]

Is the nipple also reshaped?
