Yes, I have had a bad experience with a breast reduction. When I decided to go through the procedure, I expected that it would improve my daily life and make me happier overall.
Unfortunately, this was not the case. After having surgery on both breasts, some of the physical and emotional effects were unpleasant.
Physically, the recovery process was much longer than expected and there were complications with wound healing due to excessive bruising around my incisions sites. The pain levels associated with recovery were also increased as compared to what my doctor originally advised during pre-operation consultations. As part of my aftercare routine, I had to visit multiple clinics for follow-up appointments – these visits added more time and cost associated with my surgery overall.
Emotionally, after recovering from surgery it became apparent that scarring on both sides was highly visible no matter what clothing style or shape I wore them in; this significantly lowered my confidence level especially when wearing limited clothing in public situations such as going to a pool or beach environment where usually girls like myself want to feel attractive without putting too much effort into their outfits (like wearing swimwear). This left me feeling extremely self-conscious about how others perceived me which affected how confident I felt in social interactions moving forward since then.
All in all, although there are individuals who significantly benefit from having breast reduction surgery – results can vary depending on individual cases so it’s important for anyone considering this process should seekout their doctor’s professional advice prior making any decisions regarding undergoing an operation like this one for safety reasons as well as best outcomes!
