WORTH IT
I am 33 5'3 190lb's with two kids.....I wear a 38DD and have just wanted to be able to wear cute bras because for some reason women with bigger breast seem to only fall under the you can only wear black white and nude or beige colored bra's..... I am also getting the reduction because of back and shoulder problems not to mention the fact that wearing a regular bra and two sports bra's while working out is getting quite ridiculous......The only con I can see is the scaring that is going to be left behind after the surgery.....I would say the pros speak for themselves no more straps digging in my shoulders back free of pain and I don't have to pay for the surgery.....I wont be having my reduction done until October but that gives me more than enough time to lose weight.

I had my consult today for my breast reduction I think my doctor thought I was in for breast implants because I hide the size of my breast's so well with hoodies and such.....When I went into the exam room he was shocked and told me that I was a go for a reduction I am going from a 38DD to a 38C.....I won't have my surgery until September so that I can lose at least 20lb's before I go in for the surgery.....

Hi wannabe, welcome to realself, I got so sick of the double up on bras to excercise too, it seemed I would double up so I could run, then it restricted my breathing so that running was still tough, I cannot wait to get back to it. Don't worry about scars, they are minimal and I am sure if you surf this site you will see most women have little to none. Good luck to you.

Wannabe, hope that pushback to September is ok with you! I relate to the "no one thinks I'm that big comment." I hid my boobs very successfully for years. But there's no hiding the pain and tension. Hope you are doing ok.

Hi Wannabe! Thanks for the review. You are going to be so amazed at how good you feel once you've had the surgery. The scars matter very little once you feel that relief. Plus there are some very good products on the market that help with scarring from silicone sheets, ScarZone, Palmer's and BioOil. Everyone seems to have their favorite. Ask your doctor what he recommends and go from there. And don't forget the massage after the incisions are completely closed. That keeps the blood flowing to the area and breaks up the scar tissue underneath, which helps reduce the scar. Good luck!

Thanks you guys for all of your positive comment's I am not too upset about the push back to October that gives me more time to lose the weight....I really can't wait to be able to workout and not feel like I'm not able to breath while running....On another note I think this site is going to be very helpful especially since some post there pre and post op pic's...I will keep everyone updated..

Great to hear that, Wannabe. I think a bunch of us worked at losing some weight before surgery. I ended up going back to Weight Watchers, which worked well for me (now if I can just stick to it!). One unexpected benefit was that it really improved the quality of my diet. There's a healing diet on www.breasthealthonline.com (a website someone here recommended and which I found very helpful), and it turns out that what I was eating on WW was pretty much that diet and so I had unintentionally prepared my body for surgery at the same time I was losing weight. Nice.

Hi wannabe :) I went from a DD to a C. I feel so much better. Good luck with your diet and October will be here before you know it.
