Hi everyone,
It's almost been a year since the greatest decision of my life! I'm so happy I chose to do this surgery! It has made my life 100% better! Little tasks such as walking from my classes with a backpack to buying new clothes have become much easier. Again, I'm not sure what to write for these posts so if anyone has any questions please feel free to comment or message me!

About how much did you have to pay out of pocket ?

Very exciting! I hope your surgery goes well! My insurance covered it all because of my body to breast ratio

You look fantastic! the scars are hardly visable, can you tell me how you found your PS, I am looking for one near me in SC, but finding it hard to find the right one, I would love to go to your PS but i dont want to have the travel factor.

There are many different plastic surgeons in my area. I searched for plastic surgeons that would do breast reductions in my area and I immediately was given 17 different surgeons. I read reviews and looked at their work and chose to see 4 of them and made consultation appointments. I really loved the welcoming feel the surgeon I had gave me and his previous work was beautifully done. Another factor was which surgeons work would be covered under my insurance! I hope you can find a surgeon in your area and even if you have to travel a bit I can guarantee you will not be upset for traveling for this surgery!

After years of back/neck pain leading to severe head aches I decided to look into having a breast reduction. My insurance, luckily, covered the entire procedure. I had a little under 4Ibs removed from my chest and I couldn't be happier with my decision to have the surgery. I'd love to talk and share some photos to help others like me!

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

I am an athlete also and was wondering if you noticed the difference right away? Did it make playing your sport noticeably easier? I run xc and track and have been considering one for years, but have been a bit scared.

Hi there. Thank you so much for sharing. Can you tell me what size you were before and what were are post op? My surgery is in 4 weeks and I'm excited but nervous. Also were you still in a lot of pain at 4 weeks post off?

Hi! I was a 36E and I can not fit into a 36C or sometimes a 34D depending on where the bra is from and the design of it. I was bed ridden for 4 weeks and after about a month I began to walk around for more than an hour at a time. I believe I was driving again without any pain by 6 weeks

I see. Your outcome looks beautiful. I hope to have a similar look. My doctor is assuring me I can be back to work within a week or two so that's good to hear. Thanks again for your help!
