It takes only seven days Breast reduction,Tummy tuck surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare 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.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

It is your body and if you will be happier with a breast reduction than you should absolutely do it.  Your hubby should be supportive of whatever decision you make.

I knew someone who did that. She said that the first week was the worst, and she was pretty sore for two or three weeks. After that she was okay.\n\nSo I guess it hurts. Recovery time depends on you. Most surgeries have that affect on people though. Good luck.

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

I'm going to have this done in January.  My youngest child is 11 and even though I weigh 129 pounds, I have a roll of skin on my abdomen.  I have not been able to wear sexy panties and I feel self-conscious about it.\n\nI made an appointment and saw the plastic surgeon, which is what you will need to do.  I had three C-sections and all of the scars have healed up beautifully, so I am not too concerned about a scar, although it will go from hip to hip.\n\nInfection is apparently the major concern and you need to be extremely careful post-operatively.  As for pain, there will be some, I know, but there are good pain medications available and I will just look forward to being one naked babe next summer.\n\nP.S:  I'm getting a breast augmentation/lift too!

Okay so I'm looking into this myself I'm in a double d not a tripple but it kills my back too and hauling around my son doesn't help at all.  From what I've heard there are some possible negative things about it, like possibly not being able to produce milk if you're wanting to breast feed again.  Also, you can lose feeling in your nipples I guess, and there are plenty of other things that they warn you about that I can't really remember, but that comes with any surgery.  I think that your comfort is really important though, anything that will make you feel better and give you some more energy to take care of your little one's better would probably be great for you, regaurdless of wether or not you might have to just do the bottle for your next child, you being happy will make them happier.  I do think that you should do some very good research on who you have do it though, only pick the best and look around and give it as much time as you need and don't rush into it.  I know that there are different after affects for different people, it just depends on what they need to do to you and how they need to go about doing it.  I think you only lose sensation in the nipples if they move the nipple up as well and make the actual nipple smaller.  Anyway, I have to run it's late here, but I hope that I helped you out a little.  Good luck I hope it all works out.  Danielle

Your body needs to heal after surgery. That takes rest and good nutrition. If gain a few pounds, take it off once you can return to physical activity. Watching what you eat, making sure all food choices build health and keeping fat and calories under control should do it. Do not deprive your body at this time. Give your body all it needs to heal.

Wow. That sounds horrible. I would suggest talking to someone on your medical team about this, they should be helping you with rehabilitation or any medical concerns that are a result of your surgery.\nDo you have access to a physiotherapist in relation to your surgery, surely they could suggest ways you can help your balance, I'm sure loss of balance must occur from time to time after this type of surgery?\n\nI wish you luck. I recently had breast cancer and had to have surgery and chemotherapy and radiation and I can empathise with having to deal with the after effects of this.\nIf this is cancer related, do you have a 'cancer society' that will help you, in terms of support and getting you information? In my country we have the cancer society who help people who have had cancer.\n\nall the best, and remember your spirit and your faith will get you through.\nLOVE LIFE\n\nxx

Well, for starters, how old are you?  Are you having it done for aesthetic reasons, or do you feel your breasts are very heavy?  When properly indicated, a breast reduction can make you feel very good about yourself!  There are many ways to do it, depending on the current size, YOUR size, the amount to reduce, and so on, but some of the most common features are:\n1. You'll probably have scars around the areola (the dark part  of skin around the nipple), a vertical extension downward, and an extension along the sub mammary crease.  Make sure to ask your doctor what you can do to help these scars as unnoticeable as possible.  Remember that no scar is totally invisible, although they can be very thin and hard to see!\n2. When you wake up after surgery you will probably have at least one drain in each breast.  These are little plastic tubes connected to some sort of suction device.  These help make sure no liquid collects in the breasts.  Your doctor will remove them in a few days.\n3. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised because the procedure usually is NOT very painful at all!  Do take the pain meds prescribed, as your doctor indicates, though.\n4. You may lose some, maybe a lot, of the sensitivity of your nipples.  Make sure to ask your doctor to show you how you can help to regain sensitivity.  With the right stimuli, you can help retrain your nervous system to feel.\n5. Once you wake up from the anesthesia, you'll probably want to touch your breast immediately.  Go ahead, but remember that you'll see the final aesthetic results about six months after surgery!  Be patient, your breasts will need time to heal.\n6. The best candidate for this sort of surgery is the one that is CONVINCED that she wants it done, and wants it for herself, not for husband, boyfriend, or anybody else!  If this is you, if you've decided you want it done to help you feel better about yourself, go for it!\nI hope this has been useful, and best of luck to you!

My sister actually had a PFO surgery last summer and it took a little bit (a couple of months) to feel back to normal and now she is doing great from it. Make sure to do check ups after a couple of weeks, then 2 months, and then 6 months. Check ups are really important. Good luck with everything!

After surgery, a few days off of it.  A few more days of pain and discomfort.  Pretty active in a few weeks.  Completely normal 6-8 weeks.  (That is what happened to me)

Usually the doctor will clear you to start exercising after 6 weeks.  He will advise you to start slow and gradually increase as your muscles return to normal strength.\n\nUnder NO circumstances should you resume exercise until it has been cleared by your doctor.  Though the skin heals in about a week, the internal incisions through muscle, fat, and the uterus need more time to heal.

Be very conscience of your salt intake and drink lots of water.  Ask Doc when it is safe to start exercising again and try to get back into it as soon as possible.

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.
