“Happy 1 Month Anniversary to the New...”

Hello ladies! I have been lurking on this community board for far too long and finally got the courage to make my own post. So unlike most of the stories I have read, I have been a 34C/36B for most of my life. Although my weight has fluctuated, my breast size had remained the same until nearly 3 years ago when I got on birth control for the first time. I first started on Yaz around March 2010... more

“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

“So Worth It! 44DD Plus...to a 44B.....”

This is my story… I am 40 years old, mother of two ages 10 and 5. I have wanted a breast reduction for about 15 years now. In college, I was thin and size 36c…perfect perky breasts. I started to gain weight after college and into marriage and after having two children, found myself spilling out of a 44DD. Ugh. I hated them…nothing fit right, wearing a bathing suit was mortifying. I would... 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

“Breast Reduction! - Camden, NJ”

Hi, My name is Sinea and I had a Breast Reduction July 6th and it was the best choice I have ever made. As soon as I woke up I could feel a difference. I was lightened! I have been trying to do this since I was 16 and finally at the age of 20 everything fell into place :) Right now I am still swollen and went from Very Large to a C-D when Im completely healed. I never wore proper bras... more

“Had Consult & Patiently Waiting -...”

I've always had very large breasts since about age thirteen. Often others would recommend a breast reduction but I couldn't imagine taking such drastic action and felt I should learn to accept my body. Time went on and I married the man I love, had three children (ages 14, 10 & 5) and fluctuated up and down between 140 - 190 pounds with each pregnancy. The end result was... more

“Breast Reduction - Jenkintown, PA”

I had a breast reduction 4 months ago and am extremely happy with my results. I no longer have neck, shoulder or back pain associated with very large breast. I had about 2 weeks down time and the recovery was not bad at all. For pain I only used advil as needed. I highly recommend having the surgery and for me it was the best thing ever. more

“Reduction & Lift After Pregnancy -...”

I had twins 6 months ago and being pregnant just destroyed my breasts. Before pregnancy they were a "perfect shape and height," however my breasts became huge as soon as I became pregnant causing them to sag considerably. The excessive sagging was making me very,very uncomfortable, the skin was so stretched out that I couldn't even find a bra that would fit me correctly, my... more
