Hi Sarah,

I had a breast reduction/life as well as abdominal and flank liposuction. I'm
thrilled with the BR and flanks and satisfied with the abs. If you are as
overweight as you claim, you should have as much abdominal lipo as possible
along with a tummy tuck. I think that was my mistake, not getting a tummy tuck.
I was trying to avoid it, but now I'm considering it. While my tummy is smaller,
it is certainly not nearly flat.

OK, now let's talk nipples. It is likely that the reduction/lift will
automatically help your nipples present themselves. Before my surgery my nipples
were nearly undetectable, but immediately after the procedure, there they were!
The doctor did not have to "give" me nipples; I had my own. The weight of your
breasts is creating a lot of tension so the blood supply is not reaching your
nipples, but once you have them reduced and lifted this should not be a problem.
While a few women lose sensation either for a time or forever after having this
surgery, most regain at least some and usually full sensation. From day one I
had not only full but added sensation. If any surgeon wants to do a free nipple
graft (FNG) I recommend you run from his or her office as fast as possible. A
FNG is a when they actually detach the nipples and then reattach them higher
than before. This will definitely eliminate sensation, they will be mere
ornaments. If my surgeon was able to avoid FNG on me then it can be avoided on
anyone.

Hope this helps.

Lori
