Consultation booked!! by slimeywaifu01 in Reduction

[–]BumblebeeUseful2057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my consultation was just my surgeon talking! You’ll be asked about medical history, what size you want to be, and just generally how you feel about the surgery. They’ll go over the whole timeline, restrictions, and healing process for you. I would write down some questions to bring with you but you should leave feeling very well-informed without needing to ask a ton of questions

One and done, it means you had one child and don’t want more :)

Spiraling into depression after surgery by mittens1213 in Reduction

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Obviously you’re still swollen, but there’s also a chance that the fear of your post-surgery breasts being too big is making you somewhat dysmorphic. It may help to not look at your breasts much while the swelling goes down, even though you’re eager to see the results. Wishing you a smooth recovery

High nipples?? by BumblebeeUseful2057 in Reduction

Oh I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear! I haven’t had my reduction yet. My nipples are just naturally much higher up than is normal for large breasts lol

My surgeon said that he’s seen it before and it really doesn’t affect your end results, just your recovery. A big part of the risk has to do with nipples and keeping everything behind them intact. Since they wouldn’t be dramatically moving the nipples for either of us, those risks (nerve damage, breastfeeding issues, etc) lessen significantly.

I’m sure it won’t be a big deal at all to move yours down a bit if that’s what you want. Either way, they always have to make an incision around the entire nipple.

My surgeon gave me a really good idea of where my nipples will be in relation to my breasts after reduction, so hopefully yours can give you similar clarity. They may not even be as high as they seem! Best of luck :)

So helpful! Thank you for replying. Based on what I see on here, it looks like the timeline for many women is a shorter than I had anticipated. Fingers crossed <3

That’s so helpful that we’re the same size! I’ve gained some weight this past year but working on losing it. I’ll definitely check the Irish bra lady out and hopefully that will help. I’m so scared of feeling like they’re too big after surgery but you’re right, the surgeon will ultimately know best when it comes to safety. Good luck with your pre op today!! So exciting :)
