I developed in 7th grade and endured middle school teasing like being called "big boob Bennett" or Bessie the Cow. I was constantly groped and bra snapped through high school and the low point came when after waiting for an amusement park ride for nearly an hour, I was kicked off and made to walk the walk of shame back down all the emergency exit stairs because I could not get the safety bar down over my breast.

It was when a doctor told me that I could diet all I wanted but I would never get rid of those breast that I made the decision to have them reduced. I feel I have waited a long time , I am now 49. I will not wait another year. 50 gets a brand new body. A major bucket list item has been checked off.

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 your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

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.

Dec 21 the 4 week mark. The second drainage tube came out. The tube on my dominant side was different from day one. It was much darker, drained twice as much and was sore more than the other.

I was expecting that it would hurt being removed. But it was merely just a uncomfortable tub and a slight sting. It is itching like crazy and did swell up because now the area must now breakdown and remove the drainage from the area.

But I am so happy to be tube free!

This question was asked if me by my 86 year old mother. My B cup, never leave the house without dressing up, Independant, self sufficient, sharp witted, sharp tongued, church going Diva of a Mother.

I looked at her and said....why should I live the second half of my life carrying around these breast that. 1 I hate. 2 feel like they have their own identity. And 3. Stop me from being the woman I see my self being.

My family lives long 80's and 90's
My mother is healthier than I have
This will change- Dec. 2nd was the first step.
I promise- I will become the woman I always wanted to be.
I want to exercise....I am excited about losing weight. I am dreaming of the day that I will be know as the 80 Diva in full body, mind and soul.

Oh I have to add to this!!! MY 86 yr old SMALL B cup mother said to me ( 62 yrs old) " you look fine in clothes" !!!!!!! I wanted to ask her how would she like to switch then and she can lug my 34 DDDD'S and cram them into bras and clothes and hate them. We live long in our family too- I told my daughter- just once before I die I want to walk out of the house and feel delicate and light as air. And wow do your pictures look great. I have seen great pics of ladies in their 70's- who is to say when you are allowed to be the person you see in your head? Congratulations and prayer for me as I wait for my surgery date.
