Breast Reduction: 18 Years Old - Virginia, VA

ORIGINAL POST

Hi! I just turned 18 this past November and that...

WORTH IT

Hi! I just turned 18 this past November and that may seem very early for a Breast reduction but truthfully I can't imagine having these boobs for the rest of my life. Right now, I'm 6 feet tall and weigh about 190. I have a size 36 GG boob and its stops me from doing so much. Im hoping after surgery they will be around a D to a DD. They started growing in about 7th grade where I went from a size B to a size DD in matter of months and they didn't stop there. Right now, everything about them is difficult; finding shirts, bras, swimsuits and etc. I'm sure you all can agree. I was talking to my mom about it one day and she agreed that they were too large and the next month we went in for a consultation with Dr. Mountcastle. They took pictures and sent them into insurance and the next week I got approved!! :) I have my surgery set for Dec 19th at 3pm and I have my pre op consultation Dec 11th. I'm so excited and I joined here to see if anyone else my age is going through the same thing and any tips they have!

Im 21, so I am right there with you! I have wanted this surgery since I was about 16... dont feel like you are too young. Your breasts might grow later on, with pregnancy and whatnot, but hopefully will never get as big again! My date is actually Dec 19th, too, I have to go in at 5:30 AM. YUCK. But I should be in recovery by the time your surgery begins :) Ill be thinking of you!

Aww thank you so much! And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they grow later on but I just can't imagine having these large of boobs until I'm 40 or so. And thats crazy that we have the same day! It's hard to think that the surgery is in two weeks already!!

Yours is so early too! But I'll be thinking of you the night before! And ahh same! I've never been put on anesthesia before so I'm alittle nervous of that too :/ but hahah thats crazy so similar with dates!

I have never had anesthesia either, but we have to trust the doctors! Especially with our younger age we will be juuuuust fine

Mine has to be early because I have a latex allergy. They set up the OR latex free in the morning, and do all the allergy surgeries first, so they can use latex without worries later in the day :)

Hi again! Not sure if anyone is actually reading this, it just feels good to be able to type out what I'm feeling! I have 12 days until my surgery and I can't wait! I have my pre-op this next Tuesday and I'm so excited! I told my doctor that I want a large C/small D but I'm scared they may come out too big! I just want to be able to go into a store and be able to pick out a bra and never have to go online in search of bras again. I think at my pre-op I'll go more into detail about what size I actually want to be. I know that I want to look proportional and everything, but I just am so sick of being the girl with big boobs. I want to be able to go to college next year and not be looked at only cause of my breasts.

My 24 year old-daughter (at the time) had her BR done. She was a 34G. After the surgery a 34D. Three years later she had her second baby and now she is a 34B! So age ain't nothing but a number. Good luck on your upcoming surgery and keep us posted.

People are reading, silly girl :) I feel that way sometimes, too, I understand. I have had NIGHTMARES about coming out with boobs still too big, or even where they accidentally have me implants. Lol!

Good luck, fellow tall lady! We're pretty similar in size. One thing that I ran in to (I think due to dense breast tissue) is my doctor could only take out so much, so I couldn't get down to a D like I wanted. If I wasn't so tall to balance them out I might be disappointed, but I think they're still proportional even though I'm probably a 34F or so now. I definitely think you'll be much more happy.

Hmm.. Ill have to see what my doctor says at the pre op I didn't ask too much when I had the consultation. And haha exactly as long as they aren't as big as they are now ill be happy :)

mtw11December 11, 2012
Hi again!! Ok so I had my pre-op today at 345 and it went well! It lasted about 45 minutes and when I first got there, my mother and I talked to one of the nurses who was so sweet and read off a list of what I should be doing before and after, like no aspirin a week before surgery, or eating/drinking anything the 12 hrs before surgery, etc. Then my Dr came in and went over more of what to expect the day or surgery and afterward and asked if I had any questions! So it was awesome and I cannot wait! I asked more about what size I should expect and he said that a D could be reached, but not to be too set on the size, just on how they feel and look which is true so I'm ok with that! My surgery is at 3 pm next Wednesday the 19th and I can't wait!!! And just a few questions for you all; did you have a post op meeting with your Dr like two or three days after your surgery? I was sorta expecting to have one but my Dr doesn't do that so I was just wondering if everyone usually had one. And also what kind of bra should I wear afterwards? My mother got me these two 36 D bras from champion that zip up in the front? Ill post a pic of them. I tried them on just now and they won't even cover my whole boob!!! Guess I truly forgot how big my boobs are... :) ok well thanks for reading!!! And only 8 days for surgery, Im so excited!
