All my life I've not really been a fan of my big boobs! I've always felt they were a little to big for my body! Sometimes I've loved the edge they give me, truth is I'm tired of all the attention my boobs get, don't know if its just me but the 2wks when tЂεrε is an increase in size due to ovulation I almost never want to leave the house, not just cos nothing fits but carrying all that weight around all day is such a big distress. I have tried searching for a surgeon in my country Nigeria, but Plastic surgery is really not big here so the search produced nothing. However my online search brought me here and this site is OMG!!! Amazing!

I sent some of my breast pictures to a medical tourism company and they helped match me with Dr. Amit Gupta in India, my only problem here is I've not found any client testimonial as to the abilities of Dr. Gupta with regards to breast reduction and its not really been encouraging, however I got to see some of the amazing results on a fellow member in this site check "Breast Lift and Reduction - Phuket, Thailand" reviews...I got in touch with the PIAC in Phuket, Thailand, and the Surgeon recommended a free nipple graft. Though I want to have my breast reduced, not being able to breast feed is not an option for me, I had planned to take a break from work in September to attend to my Breast Reduction Surgery

Now everything seems bleak and I'm trying not to despair but its very hard, as it seems like I'm back to ground zero. I'm currently a size F/G. They are not equal, though I'm overweight, I'd like to have the surgery before hitting the gym and I'm looking to be a size D after Reduction so that after weight loss, I'd be my perfect small D or even smaller. Plus to finally be rid of the under-arm breasts OMG! I would be very glad!

Just had a breast reduction in India

Updated on 17 Mar 2012:
Still fragile had my reduction on the 13th of March! I've been wondering how long till I start to see the reduction My PS a sweet motherly lady said to give the swelling 3wks at least...well I'm watching it with keen eyes now...in the meantime anyone knows what I can use to help the my breast skin heal nicely firm up if possible, will post pictures soon.

Updated on 20 Mar 2012:
Noticed a bit of hardness in both breasts close to my armpit and there is a bit of pain in my breasts as well...it's the itchy kind of pain so I guess healing is going on inside. Though 2liters was taken from my right breasts and 1.5liters from the left, I don't think I see so much difference, my Ps says to give it time but if that much was taken shouldn't I see a change? Well I don't feel the burdensome heaviness anymore so I guess the swelling is all that is left. I'm keeping hope alive...


Any information from someone who has had breast reduction with vaser liposuction would be appreciated...

Today I changed my surgical bra from an XXL size to an XLsize, the support was better and that is just wonderful, I'm actually going down in size, I am so happy, it's been 9 days since my surgery no scars and the breast is actually shrinking...oh Lord this is so good. I feel wonderful today.

Updated on 29 Mar 2012:
This is a couple weeks after my surgery, I'm not at my final size yet and I'm still required to wear my compression garments (annoying) but everyday bring new joys as the reduction process is going on. I do not feel the neck pain anymore the heaviness is gone and the after surgery itchiness is sometimes a nuisance but it helps me know healing is taking place so I'd call it a pleasant nuisance. One thing I'm noting however is my breasts seem to be shrinking, I had thought it'd be flat because of the vaser lipo only procedure, but it isn't, the breast fold is getting firmer and the skin is tightening up, I'm very happy with this development, I guess my prayers are getting answered. Today is a good day.

My rating:

A very warm staff at Adiva aesthetics and Dr. Vimla Rajan was just really sweet. The only reason the after care follow up and time spent with me ranked low was because the hotel I stayed in was really far from the facility, but whenever I had any problems or appointment with my PS they sent a vehicle for me, Email responsiveness before getting to India wasn't fantastic but phone responsiveness in India was great, Adiva would meet you at the airport and help you plan your stay according to your budget, and at the end of your stay drop you off at the airport also, that I think is very good service.

Welcome and thank you for posting your review.  

Keep doing your research and this will happen for you.  Remember all good things take time.   

I feel your pain in regards to the large breasts.  They make you sick and tired of having them.  Hang on and something will work out.  Stay with all of the ladies on RealSelf and they will support you through this process.

I hope to make the right decision with regards to this reduction and to have a painless day, that would be a dream come true for me. I had hoped I don't have to sacrifice breast functions for the reduction and aesthetics but if I have to I guess I would so I'm back in talks with Phuket, Thailand. Wish me luck!

Sending you hugs and luck:)   This will be ok.

Funmi 21 Aug 2011
Thank you Kimmers25, I'm sure it will. Do you think I'd be fully recovered in 3months? How much longer affter the reduucttion before i trade the surgical bras for sexy lingerie or better still go braless. I'm leaving my country for Phuket in September. So excited. I've thought of nothing else, sweaar I can almost see my new boobs. Thanks for your support Kimmers25

Oh you will be doing really well by month 3 post op.  I would not worry at all.   Hold on wearing any under wire bras for about 4 months.  Stay in the surgical bra as long as you can.  This helps in your healing and shaping of your new breasts.  They are really comfortable so you won't mind wearing them at all.  

I am very happy to be here supporting you through this journey.

Dakaroise thats the day I hace mine. Good luck.....
Dakaroise 23 Sep 2011
Just so these comments!! i am travelling alone, my family is not very supportive and i am boyfriend/ husband less. i think i will be able to rest better if i am alone anyway, and the doctor promised that there will be somebody to check on me every now and then. right now i am hesitating if i should buy the sports bras now or just wait till after surgery, decisions decisions... did you all choose the size you want to be and did you share pics with your doctor? 10 more days till surgery...
Funmi 23 Sep 2011
We happen to be rowing identical boats, my family don't even know. I am not buuying any sports bra until after surgery. I did choose the size I want to be, 'a small D' but I will get my final size after consultation. The day is gettiing closer and closer...exciting isn't it? Don't worry it'll be over soon. We'll support each other through this phase.
Dakaroise 7 Oct 2011

Hi Aitchcov,
Getting my documentation and visa for the trip to Thailand was cumbersome. So I decided to end the wait and go. To India
