Breast Reduction/Lift *Graphic Pics



Recommended Posts

Thank you for posting these and for sharing your story. I am absolutely getting PS on my breasts and likely a Tummy Tuck. I'm happy to hear it wasn't as painful as you thought it would be.

Thanks for posting the pics...it is helpful. What size do they anticipate you being after healing from reduction?

I had reduction when I was 20. Back then I weighed about 135 and had to have my bras special made because they didn't make them in my size. My only regret was my surgeon butchered me and I lost a lot of my sensation. I am actually considering having them lifted sometime in the near future.

I believe sharing pictures like these are important, it helps those considering the surgery to have a better idea of what to expect. Kudos to you for sharing.

Thank you for posting, I see this procedure in my future at some point. It looks really painful with the incisions, but shaping is GREAT! good to know about the time off work as well.

Had mine 12 years ago and with very little pain. After a few years the scaring is hardly noticeable. Although, I didn't care if it was or not.. I was just glad I got it done and had boobies of a 20year old. Love 'em to this day

ENJOY!

They will be a full C and then a mid C when I lose these last 15 lbs.

They were very clear that I could lose a lot of sensation, but that surgery has come a long way in the last decade and it was unlikely. I do have spotty numbness all over though. That can last some months. I was most worried about losing sensation in my nipples. Much to my relief, I have the exact opposite side effect; they are crazy sensitive to everything since surgery.

Scarring will be minimal 1 year from now. The nipple scar quickly fades into the color of the nipple, the vertical scar will fade to pale pink and the under the breast scar will be hidden. I went to realself.com and looked at lots of before pictures. The scarring didn't seem bad at all. Even if it was bad though, I would still do this. SO worth it already.

I had this done to about 6 years ago. Its so liberating being able to make bra wearing optional at least around the house and once in while out and about. My only problem was that the surgery left me with "wings" leading back to my arms where the surgery scars go almost to my armpit. its like a couple inches. of well fat. I hate it. :unsure:

Have you thought about having the wings removed?

Yes although, of course that would require another surgery. Its more noticeable as I loose weight. I dont think my insurance would cover it, although I feel my surgeon did not do a very good job of that area. I have googled others left with the same situation after this surgery, its like the fat or breast tissue fell back to that area and the just sewed it up. Like peaks of tissue built up about 5 inches long and 1inch high witht the surgery scar on top. Not pretty.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
