last september i had a breast reduction on the n.h.s i had doctors and nurses examing me ithout any glooves on the day after the operation one of the drainnige tubes came ou i buzzed for the nurse,he came and looked and put her hand on the tube which was under my arm and said i will attach another one dont worry i told her she shouldnt have touched it without glooves and that she couldnt attach another one now she had touched it as i could get infection so she took the remaining tube out.the following day i was in agony so i phoned the hospital up for advice they said it was normal and not to worry i wen to the dressing clinic and told them about the pain and that i thought i had an infection,hey told me i hadnt and that everything was fine.i decided to go to my gps he put me on antibiotics as one of my breast was red and really sore and hard again i went back to dressing clinic and they said i was fine and that i never had an infection.i was backwards and forwards to my gp as i was in agony again he gave me antibiotics and painkillers and took a swab by that time id already been on antibiotics for a while and the swab results came back ok.when the consultant cut me he cut me an inch above my breast line and right under my arms they looked awfull,i started getting holes on my nipple and underneath where id been cutafter about 5 month the holes heeled but my right nipple looks deformed and puckered the scars are wide and a mess you can see my scar on my cleavege because he hasnt cut me low enough my right breast is a lot smaller than my left one,and the nipple on my left breast is not situated in the centre all in all there a mess and im so depressed.when i look in the mirror at them i cry.i went back to see the surgeon and told him but i kept getting upset and angry telling him i wish id gone private,as this wouldnt have happened .he suggested i see his college and get him to correct it if i wasnt happy so i did.but the problem now is because i was so dep pressed i ate and put stone and half on and he said he wont operate until ive lost that weight im really trying but its so hard as im so deppressed.im frightened what if i go back in and they make them worser or i loose my nipple.ive also got lots of fat under my arms which he says he will use liposuction please help me im so deppressed.
