After some wild weight fluctuations, I now weigh 40lbs less than I did then, which doesn't help either... especially since I have very non-resilient skin. Basically, I look even more sad and deflated (with nipples that appear too high) than your patient here. At the age of 25, it's a bit depressing. :( I think a revision is something I'd like to do eventually if I can afford it, but fortunately I look fine as long as I have a bra on, so I can live with it a while longer, I suppose. <br /><br />How does the cost and recovery time for a procedure like this compare to the original operation? It seems like it would be a faster (cheaper?) surgery with an easier recovery. How often do you see this situation in your post-breast reduction patients? Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but have you ever had an insurance company cover a surgery like this?<br /><br />Sorry to pester you with questions... it's just something that bothers me whenever I am undressed or have to go braless. I just look... weird.<br /><br />If you're willing to indulge me, you can email me at ChristineDiane@byu.net , in lieu of responding via comment, if you would like. Thanks. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774752337405988774noreply@blogger.com
