Marina Del Rey Breast Reduction Doctors and Reviews

“From a H to Hopefully a D - Los...”

So, I have been coming on this site for a long time now as I weighed whether or not I was going to go forward with my reduction. You all really gave me the courage to go ahead and do it! I have always had a a large chest but in the last couple of years they shot up to a H cup and I can no longer deal. I am going into surgery tomorrow and feel good...Here are some pre-photos! more

“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

“Amazing! - Santa Monica, CA”

I was skeptical because I have always been extremely large in the breast area and was afraid that the reduction and lift would leave me wanting more. He assured me it would make me more proportionate. I knew it was a necessity but after so much weight loss I truly believed I would be flat chested to say the least. I couldn’t have been so wrong. Not only do I still have plenty of volume but... 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

“I Finally Feel Like my REAL SELF! -...”

I wish I would have written my pre-op and immediate post-op experiences sooner but here goes.... I was a 38DDD/E and in so much pain...back, shoulders, neck. I felt so old...I knew I had to do something! I started working out religiously and although I did see my body changing my breast were not budging! The last straw was an injury in a chest muscle after weight lifting that effected my... more

“Goodbye, over the Shoulder, Bolder...”

Okay. So I have finally decided to do it. I'm doing it. I'm so gonna do it. And I feel lighter already!! Like most of you, I have had huge boobies since high school. Right now they sally fourth at an impressive 36DDD/E. Gross. I am 35, 5'8, around 140, though I have gained weight lately due to a new job. I'm a writer and I sit around all day (eating snacks). This will change (I start... 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!!! So needless to say, the elasticity and heaviness of my breast are in full effect. I have been considering this surgery for 2 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

“Just Found the Site- BR in 6 Hours -...”

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. I had my first visit with the PS just before Memorial Day and the surgery was approved by insurance in just over a... more

“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

“G to C in Lala Land... - Los Angeles, CA”

Hello ladies! My name is Lexi, and I am in the process of trying to get my insurance to cover a reduction. I'm 5'3", 130lbs., and a 32F/G depending on the bra. I would really like to go all the way down to a C if possible. I used to love the twins in my teens and early 20's, but now at 27 they have begun to head south (I guess they are one day hoping to meet up with... 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. I'd been considering breast reduction for years but was afraid they would be messed up as I've had friend's who've had nightmare scenarios and they went "to the best guy in town for...." I finally... more

“Breast Reduction & Lift - Los...”

The pain in my back was gone the next day!  My posture is nearly as straight as I have had most of my life. I am sorry I did not know about this site before I had surgery.  Thank you. This is an amazing website! Thank you to all the docs who took the time to answer my 2 questions! more

“Breast Reduction...with the Best of...”

A year ago I had the blessing of having a breast reduction with Dr. Stevens. I say a blessing because I am 24 years old and never thought that at this age I would have been able to do this surgery due to my age as well as financial reasons, but with the help of the staff at Marina Plastic Surgery (particularly J and C) they made it happen for me. I have always had a large chest at the age... more

“Life Changing. I Did It For Myself!...”

46 year old mother of a teenager and pre-teen. Decided after many years of dieting and exercising that I just couldn't do it on my own. Left breat was more than a cup bigger than right and spent hours dressing around the problem and simply not enjoying all I should because of my body. Had a breast reduction/lift and tummy tuck with Dr. S and at one year out I can barely see the scars... more

“A Really Great Experience - Marina...”

Having had huge boobs since the age of 12 which made me miserable and embarassed I finally plucked up the courage to have reduction surgery. Other than marrying my lovely husband and having my wonderful children its the best decision I have ever made. If you are considering surgery please consider my Dr. he is truly the best. Good luck. more

“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. Had a second procedure 17 years later by a top surgeon in Beverly Hills... disaster. (I had gotten pregnant and the breasts started growing uneven, lost the child.) He must have stood on one side of the... more

“Two Surgeries, Still Unhappy with...”

I had breast reduction surgery twice within 14 months. And im still not happy with the size, they keep growing and i dont understand if its possible, i have lost weight not gained weight so im confused. im actually considering doing the surgery again.I just want to know if this is common or normal for breasts to keep growing after a reduction? more

“Scar Tissue”

I'm 37 now, I had breast reduction done almost 3 years ago for chronic neck and back pain. I was a 34DD & went down to a 34C. I have been having pretty severe pain around some of the incison sites which feels like scar tissue build up. Is there anything I can do or have done? I am no longer in the area where I had the surgery done so I can't speak to the doctor. more
