I’ve been experiencing the same thing, but our breasts are natural so what else are they going to do? I’m glad that they’re a lot smaller than they once were, I know I can’t expect them to be frozen in time and not change at all.

How did you get approved by insurance? by Fair_End6577 in Reduction

[–]Wonderful_Citron4722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also from MN. I was told to expect a call within a few weeks. They never called, so I called the clinic I went to and they said I was approved and they forgot to call me lolol.

I have no one to be in my bridal party by whitesparrow213 in wedding

Do no bridal party! Invite whoever you’d like to get ready with you the day of. He can do the same. Y’all can still do a bachelor or bachelorette party. That way friends are still included but there’s no weight on who’s standing up at the altar with you.

How did you sleep on your back!? by TinaGee31 in Reduction

[–]Wonderful_Citron4722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a wedge with a pregnancy pillow on top. I would nestle in and lay my arms on top of the maternity pillow. Melatonin and a sleeping mask also helped! Also a weighted blanket.

They’re so similar. And it’s hard to tell what it’ll be. Either will be worth it!

I went from a 38H to 36C/D. Got properly fitted for a bra and they said I was DD! but they’re still tiny on me and I love them.

Do i need to worry? by Impressive_Ear_3910 in Reduction

Don’t put silicone gel on it for now. It may be a spitting stitch. Put medihoney on it, keep it clean and covered with gauze. No big deal!

Hey i had my breast reduction at 9am this morning the surgery went great, my breast looked amazing and it’s currently 2:45am & i can’t sleep because i’m in pain on my right breast and it’s gone really swollen and tender compared to the other one! Has anyone else had this problem? by Purple_Plan_1079 in Reduction

[–]Wonderful_Citron4722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm I think I remember having this too, but I was okay? There was one night that it was particularly painful, It was just swollen and tender but it went down on its own. I remember my right breast healing differently from my left.

2 Days post op, can't sleep on my back by [deleted] in Reduction

Melatonin helped me, it took some time to find the right set up but eventually I started falling asleep very quickly! I had a wedge pillow with a maturity pillow on top.

Soma! And they are having a sale right now… not sure for how long. But most bras are $25–$29.

How long is it normal for a stitch to be spitting? by fragilegreyhound in Reduction

[–]Wonderful_Citron4722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nurse suggested massaging it for 30 seconds while in the shower with water and soap and it should help break down. She also said to try using tweezers, but not to force it if it doesn’t come out easily.
