This is my review on my breast reduction and lift…read more
I had a tram flap after loosing my left breast to breast cancer 30 years ago, a team flap is where they take your extra tummy, muscle, veins and nerves and transfer it to where your breast was. I also had an implant put in my right breast to balance it out. This is a very difficult procedure, a lot of pain and down time. It was traumatic at the time after going through a mastectomy, chemo and then the reconstruction/tram flap...all of this said because after 30 years at the age of 67, my implant had move upwards toward my collarbone, it was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable. My left breast, the tram flap had grown to a DDD, after the 1st surgery both were a full B, at 5'1 and small boned I looked and felt miserable, uncomfortable and my self esteem had hit rock bottom.
I made the very best choice ever by going to see Dr Dascombe at The Institute For Plastic Surgery. After 2 consultations he had explained everything that would take place in very basic terms. He knew and could relate to how I felt about myself, he has been in practice for almost 30 years. He will take all the time you need to answer your questions.
He and is staff are absolutely the BEST!!
Once I decided to have the reduction and lift I was sent home with basically the same directions that Dr Dascombe and the nurses had explained to me in office. I was given all the prescriptions ahead of time so I would be completely ready for my recovery.
Now, let's talk about the procedure. I had mine on a Monday, I was met by his incredible nurses, made to feel very comfortable and taken care of. Soon after arriving I met the . The procedure was around 2 hours, after recovery I was sent home. I took pain pills only Monday evening and Tuesday. The pain was very minimal. You don't do any heavy lifting for 4 weeks, that is anything over 5 lbs. Yes, you have some soreness and tenderness but that's it! I had a great recovery!! And you are given numbers of the doctors and nurse if you need anything once you get home. Dr Dascombe called on Tuesday to checkup on me.
If you want to look better in your clothes, feel better about yourself, rebuild your self esteem and just feel better.. please don't hesitate to call Dr Dascombe's office.
I hope this doesn't sound vain and that I only had this procedure to look better...no...I mainly did it to feel better!!!
And I Couldn't Be Happier!!!
