Breast reduction/ lift ???



Recommended Posts

I have given birth to 5 children and have weighed as much as 250#. I have very long breast and they are a full DD. I get the worst rash under my breast. My insurance will cover a reduction. My dr. said he will do a lift and a little lippo on the side of breast, because of extra skin. I am very fortunate to have this all at no cost to me. But after pre-op appt. I am scarred to death! I had gall blatter removed 2/28 lap band 4/29 and all the test leading up to the Lap Band. I am kinda sick of surgery. I had a hard time after

gall blatter, but Lap Band has been great. I can not delay breast surgery because my insurrance will only cover as long as 1000 cc are removed. If I wait they will be to small. I would really appreciate any comments and would love to hear your experience. Recovery?? Pain?? Are you happy with your results??

I had a breat reduction on 22nd April - I had no pain at all - I am VERY happy with the results - At the same time I had a Brachioplasty - No pain at all - The worst bit of the whole thing was the 2minutes to remove the drains that was a bit ouchy...

I am so very very happy I did this! I was a G cup and now I am a B-C cup

I had a reduction 8 weeks ago and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Pain was not much at all. And the whole recovery was a piece of cake (low fat). I went from a DD to a C cup. My insurance also had an specified amount to be taken out which my Dr. didn't agree with, but I think he did it anyway. I think it was 700 grams each. I have about 30 pounds to lose but have not seen the scale move much in the past year...not minding my band business. But I would still advocate for the BR. It is great.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
