“Dr. Whiteman Did an AMAZING Job -...”

I was 5'4" and a size 34DD. After having 2 kids, they were a "low riding" DD. I used to joke that they looked like tennis balls in tube socks - no volume and very saggy.

As a teen, I lived with having back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain. I constantly went back and forth to the doctors for it and was told that I should consider having a reduction.

“Unsure - Atlanta, GA”

I am one week post op. I had a reduction and lift. I think my PS did a remarkable job, but I am concerned that I am not small enough. I wore a 32D before surgery and was spilling out of that, so I probably should have been in a DD. My breasts were so saggy and I always felt out of proportion for my petite frame. I asked for a reduction to a B cup, but honestly, I can't tell anything has been... more

“36F to 36D - Atlanta, GA”

I was extremely frustrated after weight loss, exercise, chiropractic visits, and expensive "grandma" bras could not help my back pain.

His staff is very friendly and they informed me upfront about what I was to... more

“Get off my Lap...- Atlanta, GA”

Wow...it is finally here. I have had large breast since the age of 12. I have wanted a breast reduction for as long as I can remember but never followed through with it. My main concern was scarring.

I recently turned 36 y/o, I weigh 175 and wear a 36... more

“Small-Chest-Quest - Atlanta, GA”

For 30 years, I've quietly and privately suffered with all that accompanies having a large chest. I've tried to ignore the comments, the stares, the shoulder/neck pain, and every other miserable aspect of it. I foolishly thought that if I ignored it, others would, too. Now that I'm older, and hopefully, a little wiser, I know that's not true, so it's time to take action. I have a PS... more
