Common Questions & Answers about Breast Reduction Surgery
"I had a breast reduction done in July of 2000, and my scaring is unbelieveable!!When I went in to see the surgeon before my surgery date was set, he explained what would be happening and he also sent me to consult with a nurse. She also told me of the procedures and then the day of my surgery nothing happened the way it was supposed to. I ended up getting an infection and ended up in the hospital in my home town for a week. The scares are very ugly and I am very disappointed in the way that they look. My husband describes it as a "hack job." Is there anything i can do about this legally?"

This patient is a 26 year old woman from Greenville South Carolina. She sought relief from her heavy pendulous breasts and underwent breast reduction surgery. The patient enjoyed a decrease in her bra size from a 40 DDD to a 36 - 40 C, as she had over 1000 grams of breast tissue removed from each of her breasts.
The deep grooves in this patient's shoulders are one obvious sign of the pressure that her heavy breasts caused her, which led to back pain. After Dr Dowden performed breast reduction for her, there was no more pain in her shoulders, neck, or back. Some patients report that breast reduction even clears up a problem with frequent headaches, and she is an example of such headache relief after breast reduction. (5320-)
This woman from Oregon was bothered by the weight of her enlarged hypertrophic breasts, which were very dense and heavy, causing shoulder and back pain, in addition to grooves in her shoulders. Also, her breasts were very different in size, which made it difficult for her to find clothing to fit. Dr Dowden's breast reduction method is particularly useful for balancing the size of unequal breasts, and this gave her the size and balance that she was hoping for. (38730)
This young patient had experienced rapid breast enlargement starting at puberty. She was experiencing back pain and shoulder discomfort due to the weight. She wanted smaller breasts with much smaller nipples. Dr Dowden removed a considerable weight of tissue from each side. After the reduction, she is pain-free, has normal sense of touch in her nipples, and has been able to breast-feed her baby. (1639-)
