Hi everyone, i have been considering a breast reduction for as long as i can remember. My path with out of proportion breasts started in puberty and even in summer i was wearing cardigans to try and hide it. Throughout the years i never had the money to do it and i was too scared. Now i am turning 40 in Novembber and i have decided to give myself the gift of a breast reduction. I am currently a HH cup,i LIVE with pain in my neck,back,shoulders and headaches.I have to wear silicone inserts under my bra straps to prevent them from cutting into my shoulders, i cannot do anything remotely bouncy even with an expensive sportsbra on as it simply turns from 2 huge boobs into one uniboob which feels as if its going to rip from my chest. I am quite small around the waist,a 34, but i have to buy all my shirts in a 16 or 18 to fit over my breast which in turn makes me look huge. So yes,finally i will be seeing the dr for my pre op on the 18th of Oct and my surgery is scheduled for 19 November. I am very excited but also a tad nervous. My main concern is recovery time as i have only 14 days to recover before i go back to my job as cabin crew and even though people think we just stand around,we lift really heavy containers and bags and we have to stretch a lot with arms above the head, i am a shorty at only 1.63m! I also worry about opening and closing those heavy aircraft doors. So far, the pictures and experiences of others have helped me a great deal with regards as to what to expect.I like to know EVERYTHING, ignorance is NOT bliss in my case! Well,so my journey starts,if i can be of any help to anyone, let me know!

I was told about this doctor by a colleague who has been a patient of hers and who has had a breast reduction as well as several other surgeries to correct the effects of major weightloss. She is very happy. I have also googled her and she seems to be one of the top surgeons in the country.

Hi all,so excited, Ive just met my PS, she is lovely and I felt at ease with her from the first moment,which I did NOT experience with the other PS I saw. So... My surgery is booked for the 19 th of November,ONE month from tomorrow!!! I have paid it in full today so there is no going back now. She has measured me and said that my nipple SHOULD be at 23 cm but is currently hanging at 38 cm due to the weight of my 34HH breasts!!! Now the countdown and Operation Fitness and Weightloss starts!
