David you have lots of good questions, ....it is amazing how many women who
have had a previous breast surgery (reduction and augmention) do not tell
their OB or hospital staff, ....how often, more so lately, I find myself feeling
the need to inquire, and casually asking during the breast exam "any
previous breast surgery?", .....these operative procedures used to be easy to spot
at first glance, but are getting harder to spot easily, and I might not ask if
not for the hint perceived from palpation, ...and how often the response is
"oh yes, but that was years ago" as if it should not be an issue by this
point.
yes I give additional education to these women, ....an excellent resource is
a book and website by Diana West, ....as a fellow member of Lactation
Consultants Association of Greater Washington, Diana spoke at one of our quarterly
meetings last year: her presentation was fabulous! .......see BFAR.org
