Hi Everyone! I'm 19 years old, 5'2", and have always been very, very full-busted. It runs in the family and has always been a love-hate relationship for me. I'd been playing for the idea of getting a BR for a couple of years when I decided to schedule a consultation for September 15th.
Ultimately what did it was the fact that my 36F's make exercising the most awful experience on earth - the shoulder and upper back pain, as well as the grooves in my shoulders and severe headaches, has made me hate exercising more than ever and has made me unable to lose the weight I've gained from avoiding exercise.
Today, my procedure was scheduled for December 16th, so I can do the surgery during winter break from college. My doc says that he's seen girls my age have the surgery on Friday and go back to school on Tuesday- I just worry that I won't be able to wear a normal bra to school and that I may still feel discomfort at the point (based on the experiences I've read about on these forums & others) so I decided winter break would be the best time.
I'm trying to lose some weight before the surgery, but am hoping that afterwards it will be a lot easier for me to succeed in that realm. I just can't wait for the day when I can walk into a store and buy a pretty bra and not have to order some massive harness-type thing online, haha!
I forgot to mention in my review that my goal size...

My Doctor: Scott E. Newman, MD
My rating:
Dr. Newman and his staff (Kerri, Deann, and Christine) have been so absolutely wonderful to undergo this breast reduction process with. Not only did my surgery go wonderfully, the whole group is so supportive and have made me feel so comfortable and at ease. They made it so that I didn't have to feel nervous at all! Everything has gone so smoothly -- I am currently 2 weeks out and already most of the swelling has gone done and you can see how amazing the results are. Dr. Newman and his staff as a whole are clearly a well oiled machine who love what they do and do a fantastic job at it!

Well let me start by saying i visit realself everyday and find myself secretly relating to...
I am 19 years old and live in asheville, nc. I have had large breasts since I was 13 years...
I am so happy to have found this forum. My situation is much like other ladies on this site...
You're going to feel so much better after this! And have your choice of cutie little bras and swimsuit tops. I'm looking forward to following your journey. Thanks for sharing here on RealSelf.
You will be so happy with the results. I wish I had done it when I was your age. I'm 40 and just had my surgery about 5 1/2 weeks ago. I went from a 34H to what I hope will eventually be a 34C, though I'm still about a DD (but that is still an improvement!)
Wanted to let you know that I was in a Bandini sports bra a week later and it felt good and since you really don't need a bra...because you are sooooo very perky...noone really knows the difference. I know, it's hard for girls like us to understand, but a simple bra is sufficient!
Good luck!
Welcome to Real Self! :D
Im glad that you are getting this procedure done. I know you are going to be completely happy with your results. Im young too. Im 20 and im currently a 44 DDD or a 40 F. Im having my breast reduction done next week Tuesday and iam soooooo nervous and scared its ridiculous lol. But i know that this will be worth it. By the way. I have started a Breast Reduction Journey video log on youtube. If you would like to follow my journey so you can know what to expect before and after surgery here is my youtube link http://www.youtube.com/user/keshia46 . Eventhough your surgery isnt until December i know that these next couple of months will FLY by! :D
Hope to hear more from you on Real Self! Oh and also what size are you planning on going down to? Im planning on going down to a full D cup. I do plan to lose some weight after surgery so im sure my breast will shrink a little when i start to lose weight.
Anyway, ttyl :D
