“Out with the big and in with just...”

Last week I received a call to schedule my surgery. It is scheduled for March 27th, 2013. Next Friday I have a mammogram also so I'm pretty nervous about that. Mostly because I've heard it's pretty rough, but its gotta get done. For now my goal is to stay as healthy and fit as possible until the surgery. Stay off the caffeine, alcohol and try to exercise as much as my schedule allows.Mammogram... more

“Best Experience of my Life! -...”

I had a breast reduction in January of 2012 and now one year later I am still delighted with the procedure. My clothes fit better, my back pain is almost gone (also was in a car accident) and now my scars are pretty minimal so I'm posting to let people know how satisfied I am with the experience. I started with 32F breasts, which I did not need, want or enjoy. I now have 32C-D breasts... more

“Finally Getting my Breast Reduction...”

Breast reduction is something I have contemplated doing for years. I have always been a large chested woman, however, I feel in the last year or two it has become such a burden that I finally need to address it. I currently wear a 38G (yes they make bras that big) cup and I am looking to be somewhere in the area of a D cup. I lead a very active lifestyle and I enjoy running, cycling, and... more

“Ready to get rid of these saggy F's!”

My motivation for having a breast reduction is my belief is that these "jugs" are overrated. I have nursed three children in a 2.5 years!!!

Now, I am so so ready to go!Ladies, I first would like to tell all of you that you have assisted in minimizing if not... more

I'm 36y.o. and a 42DDD who decided to have a BR after the girls just kept growing and growing and growing. I'm only 5'3" and lugging these things around is wreaking havoc on my back, shoulders, and neck. I've put on major weight because my breasts make it hard for me to exercise.

“Restored Confidence - Marina Del Rey, CA”

Following the birth and breastfeeding of two infants, I was left with a disproportionately large chest. I decided after meeting Dr. Stevens that the benefits I would gain from a reduction would far outweigh any trepidation I had in undergoing surgery. I am thrilled with the results and all of the benefits I have gained since undergoing the procedure. I am more flexible, have no lower back... more

“Smaller boobies here I come!”

Hi.... I am in a quite different place then most of you, but I have heard this is a great community for support and I could really used some. In short, I am heart broken because trying to pay for this surgery has been a terrible emotional roller coaster, and it now looks like it's not going to happen for quite some time... Let me first introduce myself... My name is Aimee and I... more

“Best Surgeon for Me - Beverly Hills, CA”

My breasts blew up to a size 36 DDD, or E after I had my daughter. They were fibrous and heavy and not only did they get in my way, they actually hurt -- them and my back.

“Breast Reduction - Two Procedures,...”

The first time was in Miami, age 19, and the Dr. took off 55lbs of breast, quite a bit and the breasts came out gorgeous!He kept me well medicated for awhile and then it was like rebirth.
