Anyone ever had a Breast Reduction?

I had breast reduction one year ago.  I'm not sure what you mean about forming into shape.  Mine were appropriately shapely from the start.  They were, of course, swollen for quite a while.  Maybe this is what you mean.  I think it takes around 4 months or so to completely lose ALL swelling.

This is a really great website for research breast augmentations and lifts.  They also have a list of recommended surgeons.\nGood luck to you.\n\nhttp://allaboutplasticsurgery.com/

I had one done a few yrs ago and the scarring is minimal cuz its all underneath the nipple.  The nipples do temporarily lose feeling but I was lucky enough to regain mine after about 5 wks.  The recovery is painful and messy(bleeding and blistering) but then again no pain no gain, right?  Good luck!  Go to American Board of Plastic Surgeons website and schedule a consultation with several drs. b4 choosing 1, also look at photos of their past work(good and bad).  Any reputable dr would have a photo book documenting his/her prior work!

Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammaplasty. The procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The goal is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of her body.

I just went though a new procedure to remove a keloid on my chest (which I had and hated for 7 years).\n\nTHe process is relatively new and has to be done by a plastic surgeon. They remove the keloid sugically. To prevent the high percent chance of it coming back, the put in synthetic skin called "Integra" and then over that do a skin graft (in my case from my leg).\n\nSince the chest is a particularly active area, they will have you wear a medipack(vacum device) for 7-10 days until everything takes.\n\nOverall I'm glad I did it although it wasn't without some real discomfort.\n\nIt will take months before my chest skin graft is faded.\n\nTalk to some plastic surgeons.\n\n(by the way mine was covered by insurance :))

I have had a tummy tuck also a breast lift after losing a lot of weight it was a great success and my advice if  it makes you happy do it.\nthe only thing with regards to surgery is that it can become addictive.\nAt the moment i have some back fat that i am trying to get rid of and if it does not shift i will have surgery to get it removed well done though on your weight lose keep up the good work

Yes, I had it done about 9 months ago. Most insurance company will pay for it if you claim you need to do it for medical reasons. Problems with your back, rashes. I had  my breast and a tummy tuck done. I will tell you this, tummy was much less painful. I would get it done all over again but the plastic surgeons underestimate the breast surgery it was painful.

Use a really, really supportive bra.  I also believe that there is breast reduction surgery if you want to get drastic.

I understand what you mean..two years ago in August I had a breast reduction and it was the best thing that I could have ever done.. I was almost an E and now I am a C and my neck and back feel great..I would highly recomend checking into a breast reduction.. and it's not really that painful, except you are laid out for about 6-8 weeks until you are healed and you will feel like a new person.. the doctor I saw was in Kitchener Dr.Lee go for it while you are still young you have soo much to look forward to after....good luck

No- stuff like this is a waste of money.  The only thing that definitively works is surgery for both reduction and increase in breast size.  As it is, any herbal type concotion isn't even approved or tested by the FDA.

I'm having a breast reduction and tummy tuck on April 24th. I'm currently 5'3", 185 lbs, 38DD size 14-16 pants. I'm quite nervous but I'm looking forward to it. I've been watching alot of Dr 90210 on tv to desensitize myself. I think you should definitely have it. I look forward to my new body and an increase in self esteem. By the way, if you have insurance, go to a plastic surgeon. They can write a letter to your insurance and say it's medically necessary if you truly are big. My insurance is paying for my breast reduction so all I'm paying for is the tummy tuck. Good luck!!!

I hear ya! Having DDD's are a real pain in the neck, back, shoulders etc...I don't think mine would be so bad if they were ehem..perky. But since I am not blessed with perkies, just saggies.. I would go for a breast lift. I tell ya, if I dint wear a bra in public and I turned around to fast, I'd kill someone. At home I settle for knocking over the plants. I do agree that if you are carrying a little extra baggage from 3 kids, you should diet and execise first. If you still want the reduction and you are healthy, I'd say go for the reduction. Best wishes to you!

Where are you located?  You should try your insurance website and then ask for referrals from the surgeons.  Here is a website that can help: http://www.breastreduction4you.com/  Click on "Locate a Surgeon."  I wouldn't recommend traveling for this surgery, but my surgeon is in Reno, NV and he's a genius!

i'v known two women that have had reductions and another one that really wants one but doesnt have the money right now.  one of the women didn't have enough taken and then gained wieght a few years later and they are larger than before.  the second one was so excited and so pleased that she had it done.  she was delighted with it and said she was much more comfortable.  i did not see or ask about their scars.  i do know though that depending on the surgery and surgen they sometimes remove the nipple durning the prodecure and then sow it back on after removing the exess tissue.  the problem with this is you could lose sensation in your nipples.  so if they are pleasruable you might not want to do that.  also if you decided not to get a reduction have you been to a speicalty shop?  getting fit for a bra that is the proper size can really help with comfort and make you feel more secure about them.  you should not be ashambed of your body.  some women would love to have your body as you might want some one elses.  but we get the one we get.  just try to remember that to others you look fine.  oh and one extra thing if you do go through with it be sure not to gain much weight afterwards as they can and some times do grow back.  maybe you could make an apoiment and just do a counciltatin with a plastic surgen and see how you feel after talking to them.  they could show you before and after photos and talk to you about scaring.

I couldn't smell for about 6 months and I cannot stand anything going up my nose. I cannot use nose drops or anything, but it was worth it and I am happy with my looks. my 2nd surgery was breast implants. They are too big but I am now used to them-although it is hard to find bra's 34F's are sometimes too small...\n I am fake but happy

Yes, they're risky for the surgery, recovery, and chances of leaks.  The easier way is implants, but you might be able to excersise with weights in order to lift them up.  Ultimately when it comes to that surgery, you have to search within yourself whether you want exterior beauty, or if you're happy with whatever you have.  We're always wanting something else that we don't have.  I have large breasts and want a reduction.  I am yet to find a female who actually is happy with her breasts, or body of that matter.
