Currently a 34G, 28 years old and tired of the neck and back pain. I am nervous about what my breasts will look like after the procedure, but so very excited to finally not have this massive weight on my chest anymore! I was a DD in high school and have never been small chested, but I am an active adult and want a chest that doesn't get in my way anymore!

Hi, we are both same size and I am scheduled for breast reduction in December 12. I am just 47 yrs old. Wish you lots of luck!
I am so nervous, anxious and scared! I am worried about lots of things but trying to keep myself busy.
Cleaning my closet and room and getting ready for my new babies ❤️❤️

Confused?
When I look at pictures of other people with G breasts, they look so much bigger than mine! I know I'm bigger than a DDD (could not squeeze into one of those at all) but I'm starting to worry that my "after" size will be much smaller than I'm hoping for. I've been large chested all my life so I really don't want to go below a C cup, and I would prefer a D cup. Just so nervous!

I'm also like you
I am a 34 g and don't look anywhere near these people with that size . I'm ready to make my surgery date and I'm so afraid of being even a small c . My ideal would be a d and I'm so afraid she will make me smaller cause she said she can't tell me what cup I will be that's the part I hate and nerve racking

I think my fear is the shock of not being big breasted anymore. I think the last time I was a B or C was middle school. But I think a C cup would be better than dealing with these Gs any longer.

Are you sure you have the correct size? I thought I was a 36DD in early 2000 because that's what VS said I was. Knowing what i know now about bras, I was never a 36 band. In 2008, I went to dillards to get fitted and they put me in a 32/34DDD. The 32 band fit me better but the 34 cup fit better. I finally found a bra specialty shop in 2012. They are a European shop, but I was sized at a 30GG, U.S. that would be like a J cup. You might not really a G cup, unless you are being fitted. However, in the department stores, like Dillard, they just started carrying cups bigger than a DDD and they don't carry bands smaller than a 32. Even back in 2000, they didn't carry bands smaller than a 32 and VS just started carrying DDD bras in the last few years. Here's a link to a bra calculator. It was pretty spot on for me. I'm really a 28 band, but it was hard enough trying to find a supportive 30 band, let alone a 28.

Also, I haven't changed in weight a whole lot since 2000. I'm 5'2, about 120lbs and a size 6, which is what I've been since high school really. So, it goes to show that some places really don't know how to measure properly or just try to make a sale even if it's not the correct size or support we need. Good luck...

I went to Nordstrom and they sized me there...before the 34G I had been wearing a 38DDD and it was very uncomfortable. I also have a lot of sag from weight loss and breastfeeding. Maybe I am just used to seeing them so big that they seem smaller than they really are.

Yeah I feel the same way. Check out my profile on here, look at my photos, and you'll see that I'm the same as you; I'm a 32G and when I look at woman that are like, a 38G, I look like a double D in comparison. But that's just because I have a really small frame and tiny waist, even though I'm 5'8". On top of that, when I tell my coworkers or people I meet out in the "real world" (as opposed to this website), absolutely NOBODY believes me when I say I'm a size G, probably because I'm wearing a men's x-large t-shirt, even though I should be wearing a woman's medium. My consultation is in six weeks with the plastic surgeon, but I'm pretty sure I won't be approved by my insurance since they require at least a year of physical therapy or seeing a chiropractor, which is such [RS bleep] it makes me sick. I've been busty literally since sixth grade, and lean my whole life, and guess what? Whether I weigh 130 or 162, I've always been a G. And don't worry about your "after" size, it's not like your plastic surgeon is a total idiot and make you an A cup or something. Besides, he has to leave enough tissue to give ample blood supply to your nipples and areolas. Good luck with your surgery, at least you have a date when your pain and discomfort will end!

Oh yes, I have total confidence in my surgeon. She recommended aiming for a size between a C and a D cup. Of course she can't give me an exact size, she has to make sure symmetry and natural contour are there, but a part of me is still afraid of feeling "small" afterward. My smaller chested friends think I am crazy for getting a breast reduction, but I think they would understand if they spent even one month with my cup size! I see girls with A and B cups complaining, but all I see is how free they are with clothes, bras, running - the list is endless. My insurance requires a long list of things like a chiropractor too, but they approved me simply because I am a G cup. I think if I were a DDD or a DD they might want to see other methods first, but I have the painful shoulder grooves, the sagging from the heaviness, and I lost a lot of weight without my cup size dropping at all. Good luck with your insurance! I will check out your page and I really hope you get approved.

I really hope that my insurance approves me just because I'm a G cup too. I guess the way that you prove it is that your plastic surgeon tells them what cup size you are. Mine will probably recommend me being a C is well, even though I'm pretty thin. I went to the store the other day and looked at 32B, 32C, and 32D bras. I'd always thought that a D was really big, which sounds kind of ridiculous considering I'm a G! But when I actually tried to put it on, the cup size is like literally half of what I am. And yeah, I know what you mean about smaller girls bitching about their boobs being too small. And we [RS bleep] about ours being too big, but I honestly know that we have more problems than the smaller girls do any day; they don't have to worry about back, shoulder, neck problems, not to mention not being able to wear certain clothing because their boobs are too big (you want big boobs? Say goodbye to button up shirts and most dresses!). I don't really get grooves in my shoulders, I mean I have like light red marks sometimes, but I've learned through the years to wear the correct size bra so I don't get them as bad as some women. I'm afraid the insurance is going to see no grooves and be like oh it can't be that bad. I guess only time will tell.

I’m one week pre-surgery. I was told I’m a 34g by Nordstrom department store. My surgeon said I’m more like an H. What is an H except huge. I’m going down to a D on Feb 13th and scared to death. I’m 51 years old in great health. I’ve already had my children and one grandson. I’m feeling doing something for me that will relieve the neck and back pain. So exited but yet very nervous!

Disproportionate!
I had the first surgery of the three I have planned. First surgery was a tummy tuck and an arm lift done together. Next is my breast reduction on December 12. You can see in these photos how disproportionate my chest is to the rest of my body! I spoke to my surgeon again and she recommended I aim for a C-D cup size. My husband keeps suggesting I am for a small C but I have been large chested my entire life! I am very tired of my G cups but a small C might be too dramatic of a change, or too small on my frame.
Admittedly, I started looking online at cute bras and bralettes. I didn't even know bralettes were a thing! I get so excited thinking about having smaller, perkier breasts that I can wear comfy bralettes with. Counting down to the next surgery!

I went to Marshalls and T.J. Maxx yesterday and bought a 32C and a 32D bra, so I could show them to my plastic surgeon when I see her. Then when I got home, just for [RS bleep] and giggles, I tried them on; the results are pretty hilarious (I have the photos on my profile page if you wanna look), but exciting at the same time. Either size fits my body SOOOO much better than my saggy 32G's, which nobody believes I'm that size anyway. And as far as Victoria Secret goes, I went there about a month ago with a friend, and the woman in there said I was a D or DD. So, I tried the bras on she gave me and showed her how incredibly wrong she was; the look on her face was worth it when she saw how big I actually was. Like I said, nobody believes me when I tell them I'm a G. CAN NOT WAIT to get rid of these freaking things off my chest.
November 6, 2016
Isn't it strange how people don't seem to believe it when you say you're a G? My friend took me to VS and I tried on a DDD and I was just spilling out of it. I guess size differences are more noticeable the smaller you are. I remember my stepmother used to accuse me of wearing padded bras when I was 14 because I was already a size D and still growing. Now people just say, yeah you're big, but a G? Are you sure?
November 6, 2016
I know, right? "Are you sure you're a G?", Is the question I get all the time, and my usual response is to pull up the back of my shirt and show them the tag on my bra. I don't know why I feel the need to prove to people that I'm a G, but it gets so frustrating when they don't believe me. I think it's because I have to put up with The weight, the embarrassment, and the heaviness of being a G, yet people still don't believe you! I can't wait to be rid of them. Even if I have to pay for it myself, which would literally probably take me like five years, but I'd still be willing to do it.

I’m a H and my surgery is Feb 21. I had one person say, let me see the size one your bra, a H? right! we don’t make this stuff up!
You are doing fine:)
