My Breast Reduction Story
SHARED by EmpowHer on May 2, 2008 - 10:41am
Hi Michelle:
I recently underwent a very successful breast reduction surgery and was wondering if there were other ladies on this site who might have questions about this procedure, and/or who are seeking to have it done. I would be happy to help with this since my story is quite interesting.
I am based in Los Angeles
Thank you!

We appreciate your willingness to help others. Can you tell us a little bit more about your story? When was your surgery performed? Can you chat about the reasons you chose the surgery? How long ago was it? We look forward to your insight.
Thanks for your post, I am a size double D, and have always wanted to get a breast reduction but I hear they are very painful. I also heard they move your nipple which causes many women a loss of sensation in their nipple and that is what really scared me. I would love to know more about your experience. I understand it's fairly easy to get your insurance to pay for it if you can show it is causing you problems, did your insurance pay for it? Any info you can pass along would be greatly appreciated.
I had breast reduction surgery a couple of years ago & I don't regret it. Plus, I am 2.5 pounds lighter! Recovery is tough & painful (at least it was for me, but others have had an easier time than me) & the biggest surprise to me were the drainage tubes that I had for several days after the surgery, but it was worth it. My clothes fit better (at least my tops do!) & I'm not in pain anymore.
Hello,
My name is Toni and I work in ABC's medical unit. I'm working on a story about breast reductions due to back/shoulder/emotional pain and was wondering if any of you ladies would be interested in sharing your story with me.
i can be reached at 781-455-6010 or toni.x.bronzo.-nd@abc.com.
thanks!
Hi Toni -- Instead of using my real name, can I use my EmpowHer account name for your story? If so, I may be interested. Thanks!
