I am a small person 5'-1" and had extremely large breasts. I was completely top heavy at a size 40 DDD. My neck, back, shoulders, and head hurt all the time. I felt old and just plain ugly. I had wanted this procedure done for years and finally just had to go for it. Best decision I have ever made...well that and the Tummy Tuck. I am now a perfect size 34 full B and love it.

If you are considering this procedure don't drag your feet for 19 years like I did. Just do your research and go for it.

I wish I had done this years ago. I am so completely happy with my results. Would do it all over again if necessary.

I have had so many people ask for pictures so I have decided to post these.

Hello all of my beautiful ladies!

As you all know RealSelf and helping people is a passion of mine.  I want to spread the word to as many as possible about our wonderful breast reduction community.  This is an amazing support group and I know we will continue to support and educate many others.  So in order to do that I am asking for your help.

If you have found value on RealSelf and want to make it easier for others to find this information here are some ways you can help spread the word:

Use the social media tools on the left side of the page in the breast reduction review section. Click on Google +1 and Facebook Like.  You will need a Google account to do this but that is very easy to set up.

I thank you all and really appreciate your help:)
Hugs,
Kim

Bikinis, fun and sun in the Dominican Republic! 

The hubby and I are heading out on a 12 day adventure vacation tomorrow morning.  I freaked him out at told him it was an “All Nude” resort!!!   Just kidding, no place to hide the tummy tuck scar there….LOL

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be 47 and wearing a bikini in public again.   Thank goodness for tummy tucks, breast lifts and lipo.  So is it wrong for 40 something’s to wear a bikini??

While I am gone there are some wonderful ladies who will take great care of you.   I will be back on December 19th.    So don’t panic when you don’t hear from me for a couple of weeks. 

Happy Holidays to everyone:)

Hi Kimmers25, I had a breast reducation and breast lift and I do not like my results. For one, I got a bad infection in both breast and now my nipples are inverted. I want to do reconstructed surgery after my tt but am afraid. I will upload the photos of my breast. Your surgery was a great success. Good luck

I am so sorry that you had a bad experience with the BR:(  Are you all healed up now as far as the infection goes??

I would definitely go in for some consults on the nipple correction.  You will have to take a look over in our Nipple Surgery Community.   We have some great information and Q&A's from the doctors.  I think it would make you feel better reading up on what they are able to do for correction.  

I totally understand you being afraid but this is something that can be fixed.  Hang in there and please keep me up to date on what you decide.

Thank you Kimmers25. Yes, the infection has cleared and thank you. I will go to that community.

I had my surgery already . No pain one so ever like never . But so dissapointed on my results my butt keep shrinking everyday but the swelling in my stomach from TT hasn't go down my dr told me he put 400 and 450 Ccs on my butt but I think all the fat died on me cause everyday I touch it my hands go down flat at all am so pist

The swelling from the TT takes a while to go down.  You will have good days and bad but know it does get better.

You need to talk to your doctor about anything you are unhappy with.  Don't be shy..that's what they are there for.

So.. finally got my insurance approval yesterday and had some really whacky dreams about my op last night. There were loads of people there while we were waiting for the surgery. People from work and not ones that i would normally hang out with. Then there were some people that I have not seen or even thought of for years there. Then the Dr was a really old crazy eccentric looking lady. And it was a really windy day. Then I was going to have my operation on a big bed in a normal bedroom. hahah It was so weird. I don't think i was worried about all these things as they just seemed normal and right at the time. I never did actually get the surgery though. Did anyone else have any whacky dreams beforehand?
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 20 Dec 2012

LOL oh yes!  Your mind is running wild right now.  You have to admit it puts a little comedy into the pre op.  

Stephkar78 10 Dec 2012
Yes am doing it for myself to feel confident with my body . They re all just jealous cause there not perfect either but they don't have the courage to do something like this . So I will go through with this the least I need are negative comments I know I have all the support I need thAnks to u guys
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 11 Dec 2012

Oh we have your back girlie!!!

Stephkar78 10 Dec 2012
I made the mistake of let my Inlaws about my BA and there were always unsupportive even my husband and now they make jokes that their boobs are real and mine aren't it sucks . I told my husband he better not say a word about this prociger to his fam
Fantasia 10 Dec 2012
That is just unkind treatment, which I'm sure you don't deserve. Ignore them as best you can. Make yourself happy.
Stephkar78 8 Dec 2012
Thanks for that it really helps that u can be listen for someone who already went trough this . It dosnt help that most of my family dosnt know an doing this and the ones who does know , don't want a talk about it
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 9 Dec 2012

People can be kind of strange about this surgery.  I ran into a few who didn't get it but I would simply say "My boobs, My Body"..LOL

You have endless support and shoulders to lean on here:)  We talk about everything here from the good, the bad and the ugly.    And we all understand!!!

So glad you are here with us.

Fantasia 10 Dec 2012
I told almost no one until afterwards...didn't need any negativity on something that was already planned.
Jazzychick 8 Dec 2012
Love your pics. A BA is next on my 'list' :). This is sooooo true "I wish I had done this years ago. I am so completely happy with my results. Would do it all over again if necessary."
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 8 Dec 2012

Thank you:)

Have you gone for the consults yet for the BA?

Stephkar78 5 Dec 2012
I had like the boppy pillow for the BBL I have no idea what else would I need for the TT
Stephkar78 5 Dec 2012
Yes your right I have to think positive . When I had my BA I was never questioning my decision I don't know why this time I feel like a chicken
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 5 Dec 2012
Honey you will do just fine:) just stick with all of the wonderful ladies here in the community and we will all help you through.
Stephkar78 5 Dec 2012
Thanks for the advice . I will do whatever it takes so I won't mess it up my results I will sleep standing up if I have too . To be honest what am more afraid it's not waking up my operation will ve 5 and a half hrs that's what scares me the most
