That way the swelling goes away faster. As for the "regret for having the surgery", now is not the time to decide that. See how you feel at one month or at two month post surgery.rlbateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236331355857884458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-14362268168215984982008-07-20T00:46:00.000-05:002008-07-20T00:46:00.000-05:00I had breast reduction sugery about 5 days ago and...I had breast reduction sugery about 5 days ago and 3 days afte the surgery I developed what the Dr. says sounds like a hematoma. I went back to see him, but was only able to see the 3rd year resident who workd with him. I have to go back on Tues. and was wondering should I ask him to drain this? I have been so depressed, crying and feeling like I should not have done this surgery. Some of the swelling has gone down, but it is still rather large. I feel like I should have just left my breasts like they were because now I am worse off than before. My Dr. told that that it will go away on it's own, but when? I feel like I made a huge mistake. As a plastic surgeon, could you give me some advise as to how I should be feeling and what I can expect? My sugeon just keeps telling me that it will be ok and will go away on its own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-55546351299418747372008-01-10T14:10:00.000-06:002008-01-10T14:10:00.000-06:00I was told, by someone, that they never met a woma...I was told, by someone, that they never met a woman who was happy they'd had it done. I thought that odd, knowing what it was like ... also the research I'd done on line; it seemed like a high satisfaction rated surgery. <BR/><BR/>It took me a couple of hours to realize, she was my 'bra consultant' at the specialty shop where I HAD to buy my bras. She had a vested interest in saying it was not a good surgery. (no more need for $65 bras from them!) <BR/><BR/>I have only met/talked to women who wished they'd done more research on their surgeon ..or wished they'd had more removed ... not a one who was not glad she'd done it. <BR/><BR/>My biggest disappointment post reduction ... finding out that there is no such animal as a truly comfortable bra! ;) <BR/><BR/>I think, from reading your article, I had the 'wise' proceedure.
