WORTH IT
I'm just going to say that out right i am scared. I have never went under the knife before. I am about a 38 DD but I might be bigger because my bras don't fit properly. I a scheduled for the 31st of December so I guess I will welcome the year with new breast. I was also told that i would be the only surgery for that day so i guess that is nice too. i am hoping to go down to a full C i just hope it isn't too small and i still look proportionate.

Hi Abri, I live in Boston also! I'm 24 years old and I am looking to get a breast reduction. I was wondering if your surgery is covered by insurance, and if by any chance you have MassHealth? I see your surgery was Dec 31st, I hope it went well and you are feeling good! Thanks, Tara

Thank you! I have BCBS Boston and they covered the surgery for me, but I had a friend that also had the surgery done before me and hers was covered by mass health. As long as its for health reasons I think any insurance would cover it. Tell your doctor that your thinking about getting it done and they can recommend you to a surgeon.

This is how I look so far

My surgery is coming up soon so nervous. It probably doesn't help that I keep researching the actual surgery online.

I have done the same thing. I have even looked at surgeries on Youtube. My sister in law keeps telling me to not look, but how can you not. At the end of the day if you trust you PS then you should be fine.
