Breast Reduction Post Op



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has had a breast reduction post op or if you know anyone that has? If so, how were the results, how long did they wait after surgery to have the procedure?

Thanks

Most posts that I see is for implants not reductions. I know speaking for myself, I have lost most of the girls.

I would say wait until you are closer to goal to decide to move forward with a reduction.

There is a plastic surgery forum... you will probably get more advise there. I was considering a reduction before surgery. Now I'm in the market for a lift & potentially some implants. LOL. How things have changed. Also, you might want to check out Obesity Help website. They have a ton of information from people who have had plastic surgery after weightloss.

We had a plastic surgeon come to our Bariatric Support Group meeting. He said that people shouldn't have plastic surgery for at least about 18 months after surgery, just to be sure you have lost most of your weight. Then he said breast lifts and reductions are quite common and may be covered by some insurances. He said most people don't need implants to get a lift, they can acheive the lift by cutting away skin.

Thanks guys for all your answers. I have a consultation on Monday with a plastic surgeon. Im still losing weight but my breast size isn't changing much and they are very heavy. My back has been giving me me hell for the past 2 weeks. My insurance covers the procedure so I guess I will just have to see. I will most likely put the procedure off until I'm under 200lbs.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
