I've been talking about getting a breast reduction for years but wanted to hold off until I was done having kids. Now that we've decided to be one-and-done, I have decided to get rid of this extra weight on my chest. I am a 36 G, 5'3" and 140 lbs. I'm looking forward to being able to work out in a normal sports bra without my boobs flopping around, not having to buy bras from a specialty store, being able to wear cute bras for the first time ever, not having to buy clothes a size bigger to fit my chest and just feeling better about my body. Updated on 30 Sep 2015: Updated on 17 Oct 2015: If he calls me a "big girl" one more time I'm going to throat punch him. I'm 138 lbs and 5'3", so my BMI is in the healthy range. I know it's Los Angeles and everyone is tiny but I'm hardly a big girl. On the plus side, he says he can get me down to a C cup and he won't have to do a FNG, which I was worried about due to size and sagging. Updated on 18 Oct 2015: It cuts 3" off my bust. I'm hoping my "after" boobs will look like this without the uncomfortable, unsexy, granny bra. Updated on 14 Nov 2015: I had my surgery 4 days ago. I have some bruising and it looks like I have Frankenboobs, but I am really happy with them so far. The surgeon said he took out about 250 g per side. I had drains in for 2.5 days and they were removed on Friday. The nurse said the most I was putting out was 25cc/24 hours, which means I didn't have to keep them in for long. I was worried they would hurt to remove, but it was really just a quick pinch that stung for a moment or two and then was gone. The post-op bra is the bain of my existence. It's itchy and tight and I can't wait until Monday when I can take it off and start wearing a sports bra. I can shower at that point as well (cue angels singing). I don't feel like I am in a lot of pain, but I am awfully uncomfortable. I take the pain meds more just to help me sleep. I think I am just going to stick with Tylenol because (TMI alert) I haven't had a BM since Tuesday despite drinking lots of water and taking stool softener. I am glad my parents are here to entertain my toddler, recovery would probably be more painful trying to keep a 2-year old in line.
