Breast reduction info?Procedure,scars etc?

I am most likely going to be having a breast reduction within the next 6 motnhs to a year. Does anyone know what the process of breast reduction is?like where they make inscisions,what exactly they take out etc. And the scars?Do yuo get scarring and where?Will there be much pain afterwards? Any advice would be GREAT!

Also:It is quite possible I will only be having the one breast reduced, due to a serious unbalance between the size of them, that helps you at all in anyway.

I am 22 years old and I had a breast reduction surgery a year ago. I was a 36F and went to a 36D, probably the best decision I have made so far. I did a lot of research and talked with my doctor and other people who have had it.

The surgery was not as stressful as I thought it would be. I really didn't experience much pain, I only took my prescribed pain pill for 3 days. I took 2 weeks off of work, but I felt fine after a week, I just thought it was best to take another week off just to make sure I was healing right. The things I didn't like was being a little nauseous in the beginning and then having to sleep upright for about a week and then sleeping on my back for a month.

I do of course have scarring under my breasts, up to my nipples and then around my nipples. I did everything my doctor told me to do, to take care of my scars. There is only about 2 inches on the side of my right breast that is still slightly red and raised up, but that is normal. The rest of my scars are lightly faded and you don't notice too much.

I hope you this helps you! If you want to ask any more questions, post your email on the "best answer" you choose and I will email you.

I had mine done Feb 2006 and don't regret it one bit.

Scarring IMO is nothing compared to getting rid of back pain.

Check out the site in my sources, it is an EXCELLENT source of information to help you with your journey.

I have barely noticeable scarring, Mederma and Scarguard helped out a LOT with that!
