Breast Reduction Post Op

[Candace2314 117]

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has had a breast reduction post op or if you know anyone that has? If so, how were the results, how long did they wait after surgery to have the procedure?

Thanks

Most posts that I see is for implants not reductions. I know speaking for myself, I have lost most of the girls.

I would say wait until you are closer to goal to decide to move forward with a reduction.

There is a plastic surgery forum... you will probably get more advise there. I was considering a reduction before surgery. Now I'm in the market for a lift & potentially some implants. LOL. How things have changed. Also, you might want to check out Obesity Help website. They have a ton of information from people who have had plastic surgery after weightloss.

We had a plastic surgeon come to our Bariatric Support Group meeting. He said that people shouldn't have plastic surgery for at least about 18 months after surgery, just to be sure you have lost most of your weight. Then he said breast lifts and reductions are quite common and may be covered by some insurances. He said most people don't need implants to get a lift, they can acheive the lift by cutting away skin.

Thanks guys for all your answers. I have a consultation on Monday with a plastic surgeon. Im still losing weight but my breast size isn't changing much and they are very heavy. My back has been giving me me hell for the past 2 weeks. My insurance covers the procedure so I guess I will just have to see. I will most likely put the procedure off until I'm under 200lbs.
