“More waiting for me”

After reading through others reviews and some of the discussions, and posting a little bit i figured it was time to really seriously participate. So, here's the beginning of my BR journal. I've just turned 61, size 42G, 5'8" and overweight. My GYN had been recommending this procedure for me for several years now, but it seemed every time i started to act (talk the primary care doc,get the... more

“Thinking of Getting Breast Reduction...”

I am 29 years old, 5'5 128lbs and a 32/34DDD/E. I have been contemplating breast reduction surgery for years now. I was trying to wait till after I had children because I am afraid having kids after the surgery will just ruin it. However I am getting older now and I am just sick of the back and neck aches, and just want it done at this point. I am also extremely scared of the scars! I have... more

“32/34 DD, Terrified of Surgery and...”

I am 20 years old about 5' 4" and 115 pounds and I am a 32/34 DD. I already had my first (of 2) pre-op appointments and it went really well. The doctor is amazing and he made me feel really comfortable about my surgery. I am getting the lollipop incisions which is just around the nipple with one cut straight down rather than the full anchor incisions. This sounds great on paper-- except I... more

“Breast Reduction-lift - Phoenixville, PA”

The decision to have a breast reduction-lift has been something I've wanted since I first got breasts! I am now 39. I am 5' 2.5" and a slender build. My decision to have the surgery was two fold, medical, but more cosmetic. I was a 34ddd, trying to go to about a C. I have always had indentation on my shoulders and trouble buying bras and wearing certain clothes. I decided to get a consultation... more

“Happy Birthday to Me! - Philadelphia, PA”

Since I was in my late 20s my mantra has been: "New boobs when I'm 40." Now here I am: 40 years old, mom of two (youngest almost 3 years old), and it was time. Having gone from what seemed like a large-but-manageable 34D in college, I was now a droopy 32G, and heading for "National Geographic"/granny-boob territory. When I had my consultation with my surgeon and he... more

“Totally Worth It - Philadelphia, PA”

I just had breast reduction surgery on July 25,2011. I am 4 days post-op and feel amazing. The pain is not even close to as bad as I expected it to be. I am still tired a lot and need a little help getting around but I feel amazing. I have always been a small person. I am only 5'2 and wear roughly a size 6. Pre-op I wore a bra size 32 H. I have a very small frame and it was almost... more

“??”

I had big breasts as long as I could remember, on a 5'0 frame, all you would see coming was my twins. After having my 2 girls (now 4 and 3), I became very unhappy with my body. Before my pregnancy, I was a 38DDD, after my 2nd girl my breasts went to a 38H. So along with a Tummy Tuck, I received breast reduction via lipo. Unlike the breast surgery, I couldn't dictate the size, so... more

“34DD to 34 B-Best Thing I Ever Did...”

I got my breast reduction not long after I turned 18. I am 5'2" and had 34DD breasts. I'm a slender girl my boobs definately got on my nerves. I complained ONCE to my doctor about back aches, got referred to a surgeon, and insurance called to tell me I was covered in two weeks. I was really nervous about the surgery. I have never had to be cut open or stitched or had anything... more
