Hi all, I am new to this forum, but I have been reading the stories on here and it has really motivated me to take this step.
I am 26 years old, weigh around 58kg and have always been so self conscious of my, large, saggy, out of proportion boobs! I am short, have skinny legs, small bum, but I feel like my DD breasts take up most of my upper body, to the point that it makes me look fatter than I am. Buying bras and bikini tops has always been a nightmare for me- and I have always dreamed of being able to wear those little triangle shaped bikini tops without my boobs falling out- or fit into a normal bra without all the extra support!
I realise that I am not a drastic case, as I often see people with larger breasts than me. I hide mine pretty well though- in fact many people probably wouldnt even notice how large and out of proportion my breasts are because I wear tops to hide them. However it has always been something that has bugged me and has made me dislike my body.
A few years ago I looked into having the surgery but I was dissapointed to learn how expensive it is and my medical aid wont cover it. My parents understood (my mom had the surgery at 18) but they couldnt afford to pay for it and neither could I, as I was a student.
However, I am now an independent working lady, earning my own money and I have decided to FINALLY have this op that I have always dreamed of!
I cant begin to describe how excited I am. Its going to be a big expense (I am paying it off over 2 years with a finance company who caters for these types of procedures) but I am sure that it will be the best money I ever spent.
I am going to a surgeon who is well known in my town and I know people who have gone to him. I havn't actually had a consult yet- I am having it in June and then I will most probably book a date for surgery. I have heard great things about him.
I'm not sure if I should go down to a C cup or a B cup though. I would think C but I am short so B might be more fitting with the rest of my body- and also I have heard stories of them growing back abit..?
Anyway, I am really excited, even though I am terrified of hospitals and will probably be a wreck on the day haha.
I will post again when I go for the consult on 24 June :)

Last night I ran into an old friend of mine who had the op years ago. She said it was the best thing she ever did. Her boobs have gone bigger due to weight gain but she says they are still nothing like they were before she had it done.
I really want to be in the best shape possible when i go for a consult which is in 1 month from now. Therefore, I'm off to the gym now! :)

Good luck with your consult. This is the best operation ever. You will be so full of joy.
May 27, 2013
Woo i am excited for you! I think I'm a bit shorter than you, but same body issues - small bum, happy with my stomach and thighs etc but my boobs take up most of my body, and all of other people's attention when talking to them! So depressing :( With any luck we'll get our surgery around the same time, good luck!
May 27, 2013
Hi :) Yes I cannot wait- its going to be so strange to suddenly not have huge boobs!! :)
Good luck to you too!
May 29, 2013
I think the sudden-ness is definitely going to be the strangest, like if we woke up suddenly and were married, and hadn't done any of the preparation, or woke up and were blind, and didn't know how it happened! I'm probably just going to want to touch mine and hope that I can grab one in only one hand! Hehe

I my opinion, your breasts are not at all large and certainly not out of proportion with the rest of your body. You don't "need" a breast reduction just like most women who get BA don't "need" it. It's simply elective cosmetic surgery. I would say you look beautiful just as you are, but, for whatever reason I know you don't see yourself that way.

Hi, Thanks for the compliment. I realise that I'm not a drastic case and my breasts don't give me back problems etc- it would be a purely aesthetic procedure. It's just a personal preference- clothes don't fit me well because of the way my breasts hang and I really think I would look a lot better with smaller ones. I have always felt self-conscious about them and this is just something I am doing for myself :)
June 2, 2013
Would you agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Often, I don't think smaller breasts are flattering. On some body types, smaller breasts make the women look boxy and square. I think skinny, small, flat chested media images w/ mostly augmented breasts when the women even have breasts have distorted alot of women's image of what breasts really look like. Real breasts have a "relaxed hang", they don't stick straight out. LOL I'm not saying that's you BTW but it is part of the big picture.

Emmaddd can I just say that this is a difficult decision for all of us ladies . We all have our reasons for having reductions . For the younger women it has a lot to do with wanting to look great in clothes and have pain relief. For older women its usually a choice for health reasons . And to look nicer in our clothes . I find it disturbing that you are on here giving negative advice to women who are getting ready to have surgery . When the surgery alone is difficult enough . Please don't make it any more confusing for these ladies .Especially the younger ladies who have had difficulty in making the decision for surgery . This is a forum to encourage and inform women who are waiting to have surgery , recovering from surgery or contemplating surgery . And they way you talk about ladies breasts sounds more like a man's perception .
June 2, 2013
It's not my intent to give negative advice just an honest opinnion. Not really sure what a man's perception would be. Haven't I encouraged you? Do you see reduction as always to right choice? Is it wrong to give an alternate view? What is a man's perception of breasts? It seems that big or small most husband's and boyfriends think that the women are fine as they are, but accept the changes.

Amen! Glitter i was thinkn the same thing that emmaddd was a perv on here just checking out the breast of these women. Ive noticed that HE never talks about tlkn to HIS Ps or anything. Always talking about others breats. Thanks for bringing it out. Im surprised management hasnt caught onto Him

Well, what else is there to talk about on this site? Actually I don't even say much. I just try to be helpful. I'm not a man. Don't attack me like some Natzi just because you disagree with me, and don't keep cluttering this lady's review doing it. Post on my area if you must.
June 2, 2013
Alright ladies let's remember the Community Guidelines (specifically the Be Nice category) before letting this disagreement escalate any further. It is fine to disagree but name calling and personal attacks are not okay. Have a great day.
June 2, 2013
I see a reduction as a PERSONAL choice ....not to be challenged by someone else's opinion . Those of us on this site look for encouragement from one another . We've obviously already made the decision to have the surgery or are recovering from it . A positive attitude is essential to go through the surgery and recovery . That's all I'm saying . Your negativity can do more harm than good.
