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

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

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

05/06/13 Where do I begin...? My name is Margaret and I have had a large chest for as long as I can remember (okay, since 5th grade / 11 years old). 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

So far I've had an initial consultation with a surgeon on April 1 and have spoken to her about what I'd like and some of my concerns. I've always been busty(I started developing when I was around 9/10) and am currently a full 38-40H. I've been thinking about having a BR for about 6 years now and... Read more

I have always been large breasted. As most have told, as I got older (I'm 41 now) the girls didn't stop growing. I wouldn't mind so much but in the past 5 years my breasts lost the gravity battle. They put up a good fight but in the end they have retreated south :( I began having severe neck... Read more
