Breast reduction/ lift ???

I have given birth to 5 children and have weighed as much as 250#. I have very long breast and they are a full DD. I get the worst rash under my breast. My insurance will cover a reduction. My dr. said he will do a lift and a little lippo on the side of breast, because of extra skin. I am very fortunate to have this all at no cost to me. But after pre-op appt. I am scarred to death! I had gall blatter removed 2/28 lap band 4/29 and all the test leading up to the Lap Band. I am kinda sick of surgery. I had a hard time after

gall blatter, but Lap Band has been great. I can not delay breast surgery because my insurrance will only cover as long as 1000 cc are removed. If I wait they will be to small. I would really appreciate any comments and would love to hear your experience. Recovery?? Pain?? Are you happy with your results??

I had a breat reduction on 22nd April - I had no pain at all - I am VERY happy with the results - At the same time I had a Brachioplasty - No pain at all - The worst bit of the whole thing was the 2minutes to remove the drains that was a bit ouchy...

I am so very very happy I did this! I was a G cup and now I am a B-C cup

I had a reduction 8 weeks ago and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Pain was not much at all. And the whole recovery was a piece of cake (low fat). I went from a DD to a C cup. My insurance also had an specified amount to be taken out which my Dr. didn't agree with, but I think he did it anyway. I think it was 700 grams each. I have about 30 pounds to lose but have not seen the scale move much in the past year...not minding my band business. But I would still advocate for the BR. It is great.
