I am 29, I have 5 children (9yr-7yr-4yr 1-yr and a 3 month old. I am 5'3 and I went to get my breast sized, and they told me I was a DD (which makes no sense), because my bra is a K...I do not like getting undressed in front of my husband. I hate myself because of how big they are. I feel disgusted,and I am embarrassed (to say the least). My ideal weight is 125lbs-130lbs (I do believe). I am up in the 180's, would my best bet be to lose weight? And will they really sag once I do? Thanks.

Answer: Large breast size
Hello Mpete: Losing weight may or may not affect your breast size; many women tell me that if they lose weight, they often don't lose it in the breast. My guess is that if you did lose that much weight, then yes your breasts would sag; the breasts don't really have a lot of support on the chest wall, and as we age, the skin and breast tissues become even looser (obviously other things affect appearance including pregnancies). Breast reduction surgery can make your breasts more proportional to the rest of your body, and often with smaller breast it is easier to exercise. If your goal is to lose the weight you stated, then I would do this first and let this stabilize; then seek the breast reduction. I would get several opinions and discuss your goals; although no one can promise you a specific breast (cup) size; the goal is to achieve breasts that are more comfortable and in "sync" with the rest of your body. Good luck

Answer: Breast reduction
If you are planning to lose that much weight (i.e. to 125-130), then I recommend not having surgery at this time; however, if that is not your plan, then a breast reduction would be a good option. It is a great operation, and the vast majority of patient are happy with their decision.
