Thread: I'm thinking about a breast reduction but I'm scared...

I know that the doctors will tell insurance that it is a back problem and not cosmetic so I'm not worried about that, i'm just worried about the pain.
I have had a tummy tuck and I know that's one of the most painful surgeries you can have and I did well with it but my nipples are very sensitive. If they get to cold they get real hard and they are very painful. The thought of having them hurt more scares me. What should I expect and how can I handle it better if I do go through with it. would it be a good idea to go down to a D instead? Will it be to much pain? Please help...
Thanks and Blessed be.

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.......
