- Before and after clips at the end.
I filmed the days after my breast reduction to help other women who are going through this journey or just curious about what it's like to go through a breast reduction. I'll be filming a month update video soon that will include more info on how I got approved and some things I did to prepare for surgery. Below is a FAQ.
🔹How old are you?
37
-What size where you before?
38DDD or 38EE
-What size are you now?
A full C or small D.
-What size do you wear in clothes.
Before I was a 12/14 and size L in shirts. Now I’m a 12 and size M in shirts
-How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
I’m 5’4” and weigh 168
-Did you need help afterwards?
Yes I needed assistance for at least 2-3 days.
-Where you in a lot of pain?
No I experienced more soreness than pain.
-Did you lose any sensations?
No everything felt fine.
-Was it uncomfortable to sleep?
No because I was already a back sleeper.
-When did you start driving?
I was up and driving after 5 days. Please consult your doc though.
-Did you experience any other symptoms?
I ran a low grade fever the day afterwards but medicine resolved that. I also had chills the first day. Around day four my varicose veins become horribly inflamed. This is due to immobility but when away after a day or two. I also had a sore throat a few days.
-What surprised you the most afterwards?
I was very hungry and didn’t prepare enough food. I was also surprised at how swollen I was afterwards.
-Who was your plastic surgeon?
Dr. Travis Holocombe
-How did you find your surgeon?
He was recommended by a breast specialist.
-Did you insurance cover your reduction?
Yes. I have Cigna insurance and they covered the surgery. I previously had UnitedHealthCare and purposely switched.
-How did you get your insurance to cover your reduction?
I spent two years documenting my medical issues. I will have a separate video on this. Most insurance companies just need 6 months of documentation.
-What supplies did you purchase after your surgery?
I bought a number of things including gauze, pads, bras, pjs, a robe, oils, etc. A video is coming on this.
-Do you have any children? Are you having any more?
I have a five year old but I do not plan on having any more children.
-Any words of advice?
Ask your obgyn for referrals to a plastic surgeon. Take your time to interview him/her. I had a great surgeon with 30+ years of experience. Make sure you have assistance the first few days. Don’t bother buying any bras until a few days after surgery. Use the ace bandages and have help to wrap yourself back in. Don’t be surprised at how you may feel afterwards. I experienced a mix of emotions including depression the week afterwards. Be patient. My breasts looked lumpy the first few days and are still forming their shape actually.
