“4 weeks post-op tomorrow, steri...”

Thanks to all of you that have shared your experiences! Your blogs have been SO helpful in making this decision! Had my consult for a BR over a year ago and then changed my mind. Flash forward a year later and the thought of buying yet another bathing suit that costs a fortune, barely covers the girls and has NO appreciable lift and my mind was made up! Life is too short! I am 51, 5'3'',... more

“Just Getting Started -Fort Worth, TX”

So far I've had an initial consultation with a surgeon on April 1 and have spoken to her about what I'd like and some of my concerns. I've always been busty(I started developing when I was around 9/10) and am currently a full 38-40H. I've been thinking about having a BR for about 6 years now and finally worked up the nerve, and gotten tired enough of the neck/back/shoulder pain, to actually do... more

“FNG with Breast Reduction - Plano, TX”

I recently had a BR and my PS performed a FNG (hince the word FREE) I revieved a bill in the mail from the hospital facility saying i owe $8000 for breast reconstruction because cosmetics was not covered by my insurance. I was told by my PS that it was an option that he highly recommends due to the size of my large breast and that it was free and apart of my BR. I really upset and confused as... more

“Wondeful Experience - Dallas, TX”

Dr. Brad Hubbard is the BEST in Cosmetic Surgery. He has helped me a couple of times and I will be using him again in the near future. He is to Cosmetic Surgery what David Copperfield is to magic.

“10 weeks post op”

I have always felt that I was disfigured. I have always been self-conscience of my breasts starting with a large C in 9th grade. When I gain weight that is exactly where is lands first. After college, I worked off some weight and I think when I met my husband, I was 5’3, 125 lbs and probably a DDD. Even before we were married, I talked about getting a reduction and he was OK with it. Some 21... more

I found this site a few months ago, shortly after selecting my plastic surgeon and deciding to go for it.

I am 33. I have had all my children. I have an 8 year old and twin 4 year olds. It was important to me to be able to nurse my children and I did so for all 3 of them.

“Big Boobies No More - Fort Worth, TX...”

I went for my first PS consult April 30th, 2012 after seeing my gyn. The PS sent all the paperwork into insurance to see if I would be approved for the BR.

“38F to 38C - Couldn't Be Happier -...”

This was the most wonderful experience of my life. I originally thought that it would be much worse than it turned out to be. I have had 2 c-sections previously and in my opinion they were more painful. I had my surgery on a Friday and by Tuesday I was back on my feet and feeling well. Only took pain meds for a couple days. Sleep wasnt too bad, I just had to use alot of pillows to get... more

“Breast Reduction Surgery - Fort...”

I decided to get a reduction because of back and shoulder issues. The prep for surgery was short, and the surgery was about 2 hrs. Unfortunately I got a blood clot in my lungs after the surgery, so I had to stay in the hospital for 4 days. My healing is really slow, but they say I am bleeding more because of the blood thinner medicince for the blood clot. My boobs look great though.Hey... more
