Hi;

I had a breast reduction/lift 2 years ago....I sailed through it....I didn't have hardly any pain. I also had a Tummy Tuck 5 years ago and sailed through that as well.

The only thing that happened was one scar became thick and raised I believe the Dr called it a Keltoid (I think thats how you spell it) scar. I need to have it re-cut and stitched but I haven't yet. Its really not a priority right now.

I had my surgery bercause of back/neck pain and just tired of not fitting into shirts right. I was a 38 DD and growing. This did not help my pinched nerve in my neck at all. My insurance did not cover it because I needed 500 cc something like that taken out each breast and they took 375 out of 1 and 325 out of the other. I didn't want to be too small because I'm 5'6" and medium build..(well 30lbs overweight now but losing..see other posts) So I went to a small C...

I am happy with the surgery part and the pain part of it...I don't like the scars but they are fading now...so for the most part I am happy I did it...MY neck/back and clothes are all good LOL...

Good luck to you and be sure and do research on the Doctors.......

I had a breast reduction in 1987, which I was 22 years old. I was a 38DD, size 5 bottom. It was the best thing I ever did. The recovery period was not bad. It's been 21 years since I had it and can't remember much but I do remember I did not have a hard time with recovery and actually recovered quicker than normal. Some doctors may tell you that you can't breast feed after having a reduction but that is not true. You still are able to generate milk. The only thing about the sensitivity to the nipples is the full sensation does not come back. I would recommend it to anyone. Good Luck and God Bless!
