I'm getting a breast reduction, any suggestions?

Question

I HAVE talked to my Dr and know all the risks. I am a 34GG. I just want to know people's personal experiance so I know more about what to wxpect.

Answer 1

Suggestions with what?

I had it in Feb 2006 and my only regret is not getting it done sooner.

I had it covered by insurance 100%, so talk to your family doctor about a referral with someone in your health plan. See at least three PS's before deciding on one.

38J to 38C

This site helped me out a lot:

Edit: what to expect.

You should be off work for two weeks, more if you are in a physically active job. If not OFF for more than two weeks, at least on light duty, and I mean really restrict yourself!

Scars take a year to lighten and fade. Scarguard and Mederma are great to help with scars after your incisions close.

I got nipple sensation back at 3 months but that can take over a year for that to come back.

My final size was around a year, but again that could take a while.

The key word to recovery is PATIENCE.

Do NOT hesitate to talk to your PS about any issues you may have. DO NOT ask people online what to do when you should be talking to your plastic surgeon who is taking care of you!!!

That site I posted has a GREAT FAQ section as well as things for recovery and how to go about getting back to your daily activities.

This is not a surgery I regret. I love my new perky breasts and my back is not in pain anymore.

Answer 2

If you are in fact getting a breast reduction you really shouldn't be asking for opinions from perfect strangers via a yahoo message board.

I apologize if that sounds hyper-critical, but a breast reduction is a serious procedure that can truly affect your psyche, self-confidence, and a whole host of other things.

Besides, if you're going to shell out the money and time, make 100% sure that YOU are getting what YOU want out of it.

My advice? Turn off the computer and decide what you really want/need.

Best of luck.

I had a friend that took prenatal vitamins for about six months. She was originaly taking them for the iron. The iron in the prenatal's was "stomach friendly" and did not cause constipation. She was not loosing wieght or anything, but her breast size when down three sizes. She was OK with it though because hers were too big. She stopped after six months though because prenatal's are for pregnant people.

Breast reduction surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Tour2india4health Consultants .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Tour2india4health Consultants is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
