What exactly is breast reduction surgery?
According to Mayo Clinic, Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, removes fat, breast tissue and skin from the breasts.
Beyond physical benefits, breast reduction can improve self-confidence and allow you to enjoy physical activities you might have found challenging before.
Twin sister speaks to Briefly News about the procedure
Speaking about the cost of the surgery, Sharlene told Brielfy News that she and her sister used medical aid but were still required to pay a co-payment of R5 000 each and an additional R1 200 for a post-op bra per person.
"Our doctor informed us about the risks during our first appointment which were: nipple loss, sensation loss, some numbness and lumps, and t-junction breaks," Sharlene shared.
The sisters are currently still recovering as they enter their fourth-week post-op.
"Doing the surgery with my twin actually helped us understand that a lot of things that were happening were normal. For example, we were told to expect leakage, but we didn’t know how much or where it would leak, and it actually helps to have someone who understands the fatigue and pain," the young woman said.
