I was always tramautized by a comment a boy made about them (he got the first sexual harrassment detention at my jr. high for making the comment to me.

I have had large breast for as long as I can remember. I went to see a PS and to discuss with them whether I was a candidate for insurance approval. I think since I have lived with them so long I start to think maybe they aren't that big but then I see pictures of myself and its hard to believe... Read more

Hi! I read a lot of reviews on here but this is the first I've written. I am 22 years old, 134lbs and 5ft 3. My boobs are a 34F and sometimes a G. I initially went to my doctor in October. She was awful. Told me I would grow to love my chest and I just needed to lose weight ( at the time I... Read more

I matured physically at such a young age that I had a hard time coping or managing the changes. As I got older it quickly became clear that... Read more

Where do I start?! I'm 29, mum of one gorgeous little girl and have lost a significant amount of weight in the last 3 years. To date I have lost over 40 kgs (88lbs) which is brilliant, however an unfortunate result of that is being left with a great deal of excess skin and REALLY saggy boobs... Read more

After wanting this surgery for 13 years, I finally had my consultation with the PS yesterday and it was great! He explained everything in detail, which made my husband and I a lot less apprehensive. Either way this is getting done. It's gotten to the point where I don't even know what size I... Read more
