Space between breasts not normal after breast reduction surgery. Can anyone tell me what
Web or “lip” across sternum years after breast reduction
Jan 5, 2017
Thanks for the opportunity to evaluate your concern. I see what appears to be a web across the sternum related to the pull of the breasts. I imagine the weight of the breasts (particularly if there are implants) pulls against the relatively thin or weak skin and scar to create this condition. I’m surprised it would be visible in a swimsuit or bra. You may be much more aware of this than others. A bra or swimsuit that gives more lift to the breasts may…
4 mos post-op Breast Reduction – left breast very painful after a run 3 days ago
Breast Pain after Jogging
May 19, 2016
I suggest making another appointment to see your doctor.  Perhaps one of the nurses could speak with you about your concern by phone as well.4 months after your surgery, it is unlikely that there is any serious damage, but you should be checked.  Remember that total healing after a breast reduction takes 9-12 months.In the meantime, I would recommend avoidance of any activities that induce pain.  Use of a good supportive bra all the time will be helpful, too.  Gentle exercise such as wal…
Very concerned about breast reduction scarring.
Measures to Control Scarring
May 19, 2016
You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon.  Your ethnicity, skin pigmentation and history of scar all indicate that you are correct to have some concerns.  Your surgeon may suggest use of a topical scar remedy such as a silicone gel product to go over the scar as it heals.  Pressure and frequent scar massage also help to minimize scar.  Certainly avoid sunlight or tanning on the healing scars.  If in spite of the above measures you develop a scar problem, injections of steroids into…
Is a tighter bra better to help control swelling after breast reduction?
Mild Compression Helps Healing
May 19, 2016
I believe a good supportive bra is very helpful.  If the bra is now loose, I would suggest using one a bit more snug.  However, it should not be a painful process.   Remember, total healing after surgery takes several months.
Breast reduction/lift or breast reduction/lift with small implant?
Reduction alone Vs Reduction with implant
Sep 16, 2015
Either option could be correct! The best approach is to see a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will first talk to you about your reasons for wanting surgery. In other words, what bothers you about your present condition?If you are wanting to fit into clothes better, will you do better with the same size bust or perhaps smaller? Are you motivated for surgery because of neck or back strain? In that case, I would suggest no implant. Is your goal to wear clothes…
Is there any way I can have a breast reduction and be guaranteed of my ability to breastfeed?
Sorry, NO
Sep 6, 2015
Dear leahbabez,Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that any woman can breastfeed with or without surgery. Most women may be able to breast feed after reduction, but it might be too painful. The reason for this is that with breast reduction, there are breast segments that are cut across, separating the glandular part of the breast from the ducts or drainage system that opens out to the nipple. The result is that there may be large breast segments that engorge yet cannot…
Nipple graft
nipple grafting vs nipple pedicle surgery
Sep 4, 2015
Grafting is a very reliable means of repositioning the nipple with extremely large breast reductions. The success of nipple grafting is probably 95% or greater. However, the trade-off is greatly diminished sensation, particularly the special erogenous sensation from the nipple. You might also expect general flattening of the nipple and perhaps some pigmentation changes in the nipple and areola with grafting.Whenever possible, surgeons and patients prefer to move the nipple…
