Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Just a short update - 1 year on :)
I am extremely happy with my BR and the new chapter it has opened up in my life.
My social anxiety is gone, I am out socializing with my friends. My fitness level is at an all-time-high, I feel every bit the person I should have felt 10years ago :) I work out 4-5times a week - and I dont have to worry about people looking at me...I look healthy and fit. I cycle every weekend (did a 40km ride one sunny Saturday afternoon!), getting ready for my 3rd triatlon at the end of the month - all this made possible by the fact that I have decided and went through with a Breast reduction surgery. And whilst my chest is not perfect (my righty has shrunk and lefty has grown a bit in 12months - go figure) I couldn't be happier.
Wishing all of you the same success and happiness in your life

Last update because there is nothing new to...
Last update
because there is nothing new to report about.:) I am very happy with the results of my surgery - I got a new life.
I stand tall and walk with head up rather than ashamed of my huge front as I used to before.
People look into my eyes - not at my chest - there is nothing extremely interesting to see there :)
I buy normal clothes.
I dont worry that I cannot find a sports bra - I might still have chose XL but I fit in one
I can clip a bra together on my front - could never do that before.
I can do whatever sports takes my fancy - triathlon, kung fu, cycling, rowing, weightlifting just to name a few I tried out, picked up in the last couple of months :)
I have [RS bleep] now - not breasts.
I am still inbetween C and D still - which look good in an underwire bra but I dont need a padded push up bra.
I am steadily losing weight due to the variety of exercises I am now capable of doing -it is all good.
Whilst my surgery results dont look perfect - my lefty is noticeably bigger than righty and I am starting to get the so-called dog-ears on my left and my scars would need to be revised (they dont look pretty but nothing a beautiful sexy lacey bra cannot compensate for) I dont worry about the looks of things - I am still planning to be around for 50or so years - my body will change
What matters is that all is healthy
Having BR was the best thing I have EVER done for myself!
So this is good bye
I sincerely hope that one day BR will become more accissible for ladies in Australia and the rest of the world.
I sincerely hope that all of you out there who are going through the agonies of deciding, do find the best surgeron for your case and have such an amazing life-changing outcome as I did.
And for those of you who were with me throughout this journey - I cannot thank you enough. This community is the best support community on this road.
Wishing you all the best for your future

Quick update - Well, ladies not much development...
Quick update - Well, ladies not much development to report. I am doing absolutely FINE! Loving my new life, Loving going to the beach, having a swim and then sunbathing ! Yep - sunbathing - something I have never done before because I was trying to hide, cover up as soon as I got out of the safety of the water. So I am sunbathing - which I have to be really mindful of that I am in SYD - sun is a killer here and one really doesn't want to end up with skin cancer....
Breast wise - all closed up, all healed, done :) I am still sized inbetween C and D - I find that from nonwired bras I am C, for wired ones I am D. that is because my lefty is bigger..I think my righty is C and lefty is Cand a half therefore D fits better from the ones with an underwire. Not that I am wearing much of those ! :) on my active days I wear sporty top (no cups, no wire, just a sport crop top with amazing hold), for office etc I wear one of the bras I picked up in the US (Bali 42C 3463) and I absolutely looooovvvvvveeee it..so comfy..so soft so light...yet with a nice-adequate support. For exercise I wear the crop top (I bought 3 of the same - old habbits of "stocking up on bras" die hard)
I am enjoying being able to do more sports! I started running and even thought I can still only do 1 km without stopping I know I will improve with practice. Running is still hard - I have to watch my posture and practically learn to do it all over - no wonder after all the years..I also bike a lot - at least 2x20kms a week. Loving every minute of it ..SYD city is generous to its residents - visitors - with nice, comfortable cycling routes: fresh air, cardio and always something to see and explore. Even the magpies cannot deter me. :)
Swimming- wise? I am still being very cautious because of my shoulder problem ( cycling seems to exaggarate the pain so I am having my bike adjusted soon) but I am stil doing 2x1km (nonstop laps) a week. and I love my improved bouyancy :) My fast stroke is much leaner than it was prior to the surgery, my breast stoke is stronger and my backstroke is a beaut to watch! So I am told :)And to show I am not "mocking" around with sports - I decided to participate in a triathlon in 2013! I will have to work on my running - the other 2 I have in the bag :)
Photos? I will bring some more - when not forgetting to take some- however Doc still has not done his "reference" post op photo..I am puzzled at why not, but he says he wants to wait a bit more until the breasts "find their place" ...like sag???? I don't get why but hey he is the doc...at least one knows he is not fooling everyone with post op photos 1 month after surgery but 6months :) My next appointment is in March - of course if anything happens - unlikely - I can still see him..
The only thing I find hard is..and please don't laugh - sleeping without a bra... I never wore a bra to sleep before (I was so glad to be out of my bras by bedtime) and when I was told that I would have to wear a bra to sleep for at least 6weeks post op I first thought "where on Earth I am going to find a bra to fit me for sleeping comfortably" of course I found one- doc gave me what I should by and of course it worked. Now I find myself scared of going to sleep without a bra on..I fear I might crush my beautiful [RS bleep] whilst sleeping and turning around - which is a stupid thought as they are small they are not going to crush under me..but I still cannot let go of the sleeping bras :( may be in 2013...
Everything else is just fine - happy to have it done - best decision on my life so far!

Provider Review
Name not provided
Same as in my part 1. My surgeon is one of the most experienced plastic surgeon in Sydney and I am very grateful for his experience and professionalism. He is always very accommodating and does fulfill his promise of seeing me the same day I call him with a concern (in my first 2.5 weeks Post Op he has seen me 5times!) despite running a very busy practice in South of Sydney. He is very polite and whilst would not sing you a lullaby before op, he does open up and communicates less reserved later on. I am very happy that he is my surgeon and would select him again and again and again and again - I recommended him to my Mum!
