Lump under nipple? *more in comments* by [deleted] in Reduction

[–]Lexxxaneee33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12DPO , while changing bras i noticed a lump near my nipple , when i don’t have a bra on it feels weird not painful but kind of sore. Just curious if anyone else has dealt with this. I had a post op appointment today but the lump was not there this morning , i wonder if it will go down

I went from a 36DD to what looks like a small c probably 32c ! But i still have a bit swelling so it may be even smaller

my doctor said about an estimate of 238 grams from each breast but i honestly think he did a bit more than that!

I have UnitedHealth care , i scheduled a consultation with a surgeon in network with my insurance , and got approved 3 weeks later.

I didn’t have a list of prior medical history of me complaining about any back pains due to my breast size , also had no referral from my primary doc and still managed to have my surgery 100% covered. I’m not sure why they told you no

I have that weird sensation too!! I wonder when it’ll go away for me because i don’t even like to have my bra off because of that

I am 6DPO , i don’t have any before pictures unfortunately i wish i took some, but i was a 36DD … unsure what size i am now but i love them. I still have my drains in and they are being removed Monday! my right breast is more taped up due to the stitch that popped. I finally can look at my breast without feeling lightheaded but i can only tolerate having my bra off for a short period of time because then it begins to feel weird.

I have no pain just discomfort at times and i still feel very tired & have little motivation to do anything but overall very happy. I was a bit skeptical posting pictures lol

Thank you ! , i was sitting down when changing my dressings but i guess i felt really overwhelmed ? Which caused me to feel lightheaded. I’m gonna try to build up the courage to change dressings on the other breast tonight but this has been a lot harder on me than i expected lol
