Just had surgery to reduce my remaining breast , no pain but seem to have some bleeding only day  2 anyone had the same ?

  • Hi, I haven't had the same experience myself, but I noticed you've not had any replies yet, as the site is quite busy. My response will bump you back to the top and I am sure someone with a similar experience will be along soon.

    Might be worth also giving your nurse a call to check up on the bleeding.   Best wishes

  • Thanks the bleeding seems to have stopped and I'll call the wound clinic tomorrow . Did look online and it seems common place. I have had a big reduction as I was a 36 hh and had a full mastectomy . Thanks again for replying 

  • Hi. How are you doing? How have you found the mastectomy and breast reduction? Do you mind me asking what reconstruction you have had and how it went. If you had it?  

  • Had full mastectomy nd all lymph nodes removed 2yrs ago all went well still have some numbing under arm but have full use of arm and hand now . Had my other breast reduced as I was a 36HH. Feel much better in myself and not so embarrassed if I don't wear my falsy . Had some pain after and bleeding but this was normal ,worried at time but saw wound management next day and they changed dressing., I'm down to 36e.
