“Trying to Remain Patient - Silver...”
I like most of you have decided to get a breast reduction. I'm 26 years old and a mother of two. I weigh 145lbs and am 5ft 3in and wear a 32 J. I just had my consultation on Monday June 3rd. I am currently waiting to hear back from the plastic surgeon's office to see if they have received all the documents I emailed which had my visit notes from my PCP as well as a letter written from me. I... more
“Wishing and Hoping - Washington, DC”
Hello all, I am so very glad I found this website - it has been such a great source of information! I've wanted a BR as long as I could remember. I was always a D+ cup, was always frustrated that people paid more attention to my BBs than anything else, but just figured it was my lot in life. Now that I've had two wonderful kiddos and made it through breastfeeding, I figure these things have... more
Hi Ladies! So I have been lurking for awhile, and finally decided to post something myself! I think my story begins in much the same way as most of the women here. I started developing very young and got my first bra when I was in third grade. By high school I was probably around a D cup. I had done gymnastics basically my entire life so being surrounded by a bunch of flat chested gymnasts... more
“New Boobs! - Gaithersburg, MD”
I just had my surgery on April 9th. I have wanted a breast reduction since high school, but insurance wouldn't cover it. Finally when I went to a new insurance provider I got accepted. I had to endure the Back aches, muscle spasms, deep shoulder grooves, and the physical therapy that never helped the situation. My pre surgery size was a 38HH. Post surgery size is supposed to be around High D... more
“Chose the Wrong Surgeon - Woodbridge, VA”
I had a breast reduction and lift just over 6 mos ago and I have been completely miserable since. My breasts are half under my arms and fall to the side when I sit. I'm constantly in pain and have had a second opinion by a surgeon who has said my surgeon has taken too much tissue from the front and not enough from the side. I have an indent in my left breast and my nipple looks like it's... more

“On My Way to a New Beginning! -...”
I am one of many women that have suffered as a result of large breast. The pain and impact they have on my life is overwhelming. I will be having a 4 hour meeting with Dr. Banks on the 13th and she will give me a second chance and living a productive life. I am very blessed! Let the journey begin...It is the 20th and it has been 8 days since surgery and I am still sore, but no longer on strong... more
“Breast Reduction Changed My...”
I had always had a large chest, but my breasts grew even larger after I gained a lot of weight. After losing over 80 pounds, I decided to get the breast reduction as a reward and it's the second best thing (after losing weight) that I could have done for myself. No more shoulder pain, gigantic, ugly bras, back pain, stares from strangers and having to wear a much larger top than bottom. In a... more
“Breast Reduction With Dr. Timothy...”
I was in need of a breast reduction for more than 22 years. As a child I was teased by boys and hated by girls. I was too scared to do anything cosmetically. Fast forward many years....after having two children and gaining 135 pounds then losing the weight, my breasts were in terrible shape. My back hurt and I could not find any bras to help me. I finally decided to see a cosmetic surgeon. The... more
“The Start of a New Life Journey -...”
Hello! First and foremost I want to thank all of you brave courageous women for sharing your experiences. You have encouraged me to share mine and be a blessing to someone else like you are to me. I'm 26 y/o and have had boobs since 1st grade. I've always wished for smaller boobs and 2012 just happens to be the year that I get to move forward into a new season in my life. I don't know my... more
“4 Days Post-op - Washington DC, DC”
Hello. I just had my breast reduction surgery on Oct. 5th, and I am very happy! I stayed in the hospital overnight for observation for blood pressure issues, but I am doing just fine. Today my drains were removed and it wasn't painful at all. My next appt. will be the removal of my stitches around my nipples. This surgery was the best thing for me as far as the pain in my neck, shoulders, and... more
“Weight Off My Shoulders! - Reston, VA”
My sisters and I were all "gifted" with overly large breasts for our proportions from my mother, so it seemed we were all destined to take the path of breast reduction eventually. Earlier this year I was leaving an appointment and passed Dr. Roberta Gartside's office and stopped in for informational on breast reduction. Within two months, I had a consultation and the surgery scheduled June 20;... more
“Getting Nervous Before the Big Day...”
Hello everyone! I've been considering a reduction for easily 15 years, and now the stars have aligned and it's going to happen in about 10 days, if all goes as planned. This site has been of great help to me leading up to the decision, so I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time and effort to post. I will try to put up some pix as well. I'm a 38DDD+ and would like to reduce to a... more
“New Boobs. Waka waka! I believe the...”
So I'm a little delayed in getting started with this. Today was day 7 post op, but if felt more like a day three to me. And my story begins..... So, I started Phyical Therapy around April for my shoulders and back. They said I had Thoracic outlet syndrom. They worked and worked and about 2 months later concluded that I needed a breast reduction because that was causing my shoulder... more
“My "Ah-ha" Moment - Reston, VA”
Was it worth it? Hell yes!! I waited for years to do this. I am 5 months post my breast reduction and lipo for upper arms procedure and I love my new perky breasts and arms, the way clothes fit me now and the way I feel about my physical appearance. I love the way I look in a bathing suit now and I'm having a fantastic summer because of it! The best thing so far was this: My husband of 13... more
“Well worth it - Gainesville, VA”
I'm 57, 5'2", 190 lbs. I've lost 50 lbs so far, but I quit losing weight because I can't fit into a smaller shirt. I don't know what size I am, but the cups of my 42DDD are too small. My hubby of 38 years is encouraging me to do this. In fact, I'm using money he saved for us a first cruise for us!My surgery date is August 1. It's rapidly approaching! Thank you to everyone who's posted... more
“After 25 Years, Taking the Plunge -...”
Hi all, I can't tell you what a relief it is to find this site! I'm scheduled for surgery on June 1 and I'm so nervous about it. It's so reassuring to read all your stories and see that my feelings are shared by so many of you. I'm 46, 5'1", 120 lbs and I've been a 30G for the last 15 years. I get by with a 32DDD bra, but my right breast is always... more
“Breast Reduction and Lift - Fairfax, VA”
After 3 children and gravity took its course on my body, I decided to look into a breast lift and reduction. After researching online, I went to see Dr Hess, and I am so very pleased I did. Dr Hess has quite literally changed my life. At my initial consultation, he was open and honest about what he could do, and made me feel totally at ease. He knew exactly the look I was trying to achieve,... more
