Goals I wish for, I would like my breast to be smaller but at the same time perkier (no beach ball) and a way upper position. I am a full 36D and as per my PS my breast are not dense. I am struggling with the decision implant yes or no a lot. My PS would go without and at them later but that is cost factor. I also haven't seen a breast reduction picture I liked. I hope to find someone here who had a reduction with small implants done and can share some inside with me.

Welcome to the community.  Do you find that the weight of your breasts bothers you now?  If so keep in mind that an implant would also add a little weight.  

I had the reduction with lift and was completely happy with the results.   Take your time making the decision, no rushing.

I had reduction done with a lift and no implants. They aren't as perky as when I was in my 20s but they are better than they were. Check outy pics, maybe that will help with a decision. I have thought about small implants to what I have now, but then I would have to replace them later on again. That might also help with your decision.

The final choice

I decided for small implants 200cc silicon behind the muscle. During the surgery my PS decided to go with high profile instead if medium. I am sure he did the right call. They are defiantly up and they are smaller as well. Of course they are still very swollen two days post. I very surprised of how low my pain is. I really feel like running around all day. My husband sticks me back to bed after a few minutes so hi hi. I will try to post some more pictures too.

Looking good! Don't overdue it. Rest as much as you can even though it is difficult. It helps the healing process.

Morning y'all, when I got up to look at my new front spoiler, happy tears run down my face. It is so hard to believe these are now officially mine. I look down my chest and what do I see? Almost nothing and even this nothing is still very swollen and looks more like a shoebox it is perky. It is hard to imagine that someone else out there would want to go and add an huge implant now because to them I am almost flat. For me this heaven I am so very glad I went ahead and did and once again did not listen to my mother :-). Thanks for being there for me guy you pushed me on when I needed it. Here some picture of today the swelling is getting better

Peediewife when is your surgery now again? How is your cold anyway. It's so normal to be nervous, such a big step. Try to enjoy being nervous too. You know like when you are going on a great vacation you always dreamed of. Take it all in. I am excited for all of you who have it still in front of you you guys will be feeling so great in your new "suit" .

Hi there, thanks so much for asking, it got rescheduled to 24th Jan, 11 days. Cold finally better, just vacuumed the house and felt like it has been ages since I could imagine having the energy to do that. Not normally anxious but the delay has given me too much time to spend looking at stories where things have gone wrong or people have been disappointed by their results. Going to keep myself busy!

I know what you mean. We were on vacation two and a half weeks right before the surgery. I had all that time for research. It drove me nuts. I went from totally happy with PS I picked to oh god he is going to s... it up bad. My husband told me to stop reading everything and definitely stop watching videos on your tube. All I wanted was being prepared for what is about to come. I was very nervous about the pre-op and than after everything bad went away I was so relaxed for the last couple of days. I had stopped the research just packed my bag and kept busy. We go crazy and I think we need to. Woman always are only happy when we know it all and talk about it over and over. It's just what we do. So do it and enjoy the feeling of excitement you have a huge reason to be excited!! You gonna love the other side. Keep me in the loop.
