Didn't Realize How Big My Boobs Really Are!? - Massachusetts

Hello. I just want to say how helpful and informative this website has been for me!

I am a 33 year old mother of two (3 year old boy and 5 year old girl). I have had large breasts since high school. I was very petite and flat chested until the end of my freshman year when I developed 34DD breasts over night. My breasts have always been uncomfortable for me. I am a very active person and have always been. My breasts always got in the way. I am not a showy person and do not like overflowing cleavage.

To make a long story short. After having both of my children I went to a PS and she told me to lose 10 lbs. and come back in 6 months. I didn't realize I had to be finished with breastfeeding for one year before a reduction. Well, life passed by busy with two small children, etc., and it took me a year and a half to get back to the PS.

During the past year or so, I have become much more active with running, etc., my breasts are causing back/neck pain, they just do NOT fit with my body.

I went to my PS last Monday for a consult. She said that I am the perfect candidate for BR, as I am through having children and in good health. I am 33, 5'2, 135 lbs.

After losing weight, I thought my breasts would shrink, and they have somewhat. After taking pictures this morning, I realized just how large and disproportionate they are!!!!!

Hi Kerri :). I had a BR 9 wks ago. Also was a 34dd. I am now a perky 34c ;). I am loving my smaller breast. The discomfort I had from my heavy breast pretty much went away instantly. I wish you the best of luck. This is a wonderful site and pretty addicting !

Good on you, Kerri. I'm booked in for July 3. Isn't it great having access to so many others' experiences. I have two children too, and pregnancy and breastfeeding did me no favours. Like you, I don't enjoy hanging out the top of my clothes and am so looking forward to buying off the rack. All the best. Not long to go :)

Ana313, great to hear such positive words from someone post-op, thank you and congratulations!!!
NZgirls, it is great having this access, I don't know what I would be doing without it. Best of luck to you on your surgery!

Welcome, Kerri! June 13 isn't too far off now! You are going to love how much easier activities are with smaller breasts! I too knew my breasts were large before surgery, but it took the pictures for me to realize just how big they were and how uneven they were! It was amazing to me to see my breasts from that point of view. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi Iowa! Thank you for the positive words!!! I can't believe my surgery is in a week. I am nervous and excited, which is normal. I will keep you all posted! Take care.

Good afternoon ladies!
Surgery is in one week from today, I am extremely excited and nervous!!! I feel like I am nesting (like I did before having my babies)! I have been shopping and cleaning like a crazy person. Any suggestions on what to wear home from the hospital?

Hi Kerri. Your day is coming up :). I wore pajama top that buttons in the front with pajama pants. Bring a pillow to hold against you for the ride home. Helps with the bumps in the road and the seat belt.

You're going to look great with your little frame! Little perky boobs will look great on you. I started out a similar size and am so happy - you will be too! Good luck!

I came home in button top pajamas. They were so comfy and I was able to go straight to bed when I got home. I even went to my first couple of follow up appointments in them. The clinic staff thought they were a great idea...and what girl doesn't like new jammies!

Post Op Day 3 - feeling pretty good! So happy I did this. I think I am about a 36B. Can't believe how small and high my boobs are. Sleeping okay. Taking shower tomorrow. Had drains removed on Thursday, that hurt, one was stuck, ouch! Overall, experience has been what I expected!

Good afternoon! The surgery went well. They only removed a little over 300 grams per breast! They look and feel great. I've been in bed resting a lot, I get tired quickly! Stopped taking pain med as it made me sick, taking Tylenol as needed. I will post pics as soon as I'm feeling up to it! Hopefully, going to shower tomorrow, and head out for a bit!

Glad you are feeling well. Rest is the best thing you can do for yourself at this point. Will be anxious to see those pictures. Good luck tomorrow!
