Help Hannah with Surgery Fees
Donation protected
In June 2019 I got a breast reduction and a breast lift. Both were deemed medically necessary due to the back/shoulder/neck pain I suffer from. As this was seen as an essential surgery, it was covered by the government. However-- things did not go as planned.
My surgeon did not follow through with the game plan we established and instead removed the minimum amount of tissue required for the surgery to be covered by the government. After any surgery, the body takes time to "resettle". Because my surgeon removed so little tissue, my chest settled back to its original size. After getting measured at several locations I confirmed what I hoped not to be true: my bra size was the exact same as it was before surgery.
Unfortunately, the government will not fund this surgery a second time around, because my surgeon technically did his job. And frankly, I cannot afford to pay for this surgery.
I still live with the very same back/shoulder/neck pain that I tried to eradicate a year ago. Additionally, my chest is disproportionately large compared to my five foot nothing frame, which, while it could be interpreted as nothing but vanity, effects my self confidence greatly.
I understand there are millions of other important causes out there, especially right now. But if you want to help me out on this one, it would be so unbelievably appreciated.
