I have had full breasts since about 18 but always manageable. Over the past 10 years they have continued to get larger. People suggested reduction but it seemed so drastic. I kept hoping if I lost weight they would reduce to a reasonable size. A 20lb loss did not do much for the boobs. 3 months ago clothes shopping and nothing fitted - A sudden "A ha moment" - this could all be fixed in one day. Each day is a challenge - is it cool enough to wear a spanx top to push them together? How many layers will I wear today? The aches the pains - clothes too tight on the bust. Feeling matronly. I am self employed and could not take the time to start the process. I have a window and saw 3 ps this week. I wondered how I would choose but turns out you instinctively know who is the right one. Hoping to do the procedure on November 4th!

Mammogram?

Is it standard procedure to get a mammogram prior to the reduction?

Maybe not standard but not uncommon either. I think most plastic surgeons want to rule out any other concerns before performing BR surgery.

Mine is making me get one and I'm only 34!

You will be so happy with your results. I had to have a mammogram within one year prior to my surgery.

I had to get a mammogram for mine. I Think it is pretty standard. I also had to get blood work done. My iron was/still low.

I didn't have to because I had one only a few months before, but yes, it is pretty normal.
Good for you girlie! Go for it and I know you will love the results. You honestly feel like a new woman once this is done.
