TEST: Breast REDUCTION! IDIOT!
2007-04-01 17:34:15 · update #1
I had one February 2006 and the only regret is not getting it done sooner!
My back pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain that I had with my 38J cup boobs, GONE! Now I have perky 38C's and my fiance LOVES them!!
Insurance companies are different, so they can cover anywhere from 50-100% of the cost (mine covered all $8,000 of my breast reduction). I did not have to lose weight, they only had a gram requirement (600 total grams). The PS took off 2000 grams!!! (or five pounds)
Make sure you see at least three PS's before deciding. I ended up going with the second PS I saw. Check out their before/after pics, and find out how long after the procedure the after pics are.
Take off at least two weeks of work, more if you are in a physically active position. You will be on light duty for about a month, or at least until the incisions are completely closed up. Then you can start using ScarGuard or Mederma on your incisions (scars can take at least a year to fade, so do not put them in the sun for at least a year or they will turn permanently red!).
Final size can also take at least a year. PATIENCE is the key word to this recovery. Do not expect your final size right away. Your breasts will also be looking ugly for a few months due to the bruising and swelling.

hi there,
yes i had a breast reduction 10 years ago. and i am very happy with the results. why don't you go to plastic surgery.com and click on breast reduction to see the before and after photos. there will be some scarring but they go away after a few years. it is definitely invasive and you will be sore for a few weeks, but it really does make a big difference in how you look and feel about yourself. if you are unhappy with the way you look then the reduction is the way to go.
i wish you the best of luck and may God bless and keep you safe during your surgery

The surgery is very invasive and leaves lots of scarring. The breast are lifted by cutting skin and tissue out of the body. When the skin and tissue are removed the nipple is moved by cutting the nipple out of the skin and replacing it to the new position. The scar goes across the mid-drift of the body and around the nipple down to the mid-drift. A support bra is recommended even after healing.
