They never did shrink to the size I wanted. Yes the lefty Is definitely bigger than right. I was told they would “be sisters not twins”. Thy have dropped, but I guess that’s what age and gravity does. I’m still wearing 34G or 36F or FF depending on the make. I still think they are too big for my frame but I’ve learnt to accept them. The scars are paler than the photos show. All in all no regrets about having breast reduction surgery. I would do it again. I can now wear size 12 clothes on to top as opposed to size 16. Most people I know today have no idea I ever had surgery. I guess a DD E would have still been my preferred size but I’m pleased I still have sensation in both, one side better than the other using the ou left pedicle surgical procedure. My main piece of advice would be get down to the frame size you want first. I have lost weight since and maybe they could have made me smaller if I weighed less.
Are these in proportion to my torso?
Am I going mad? I still can’t get my head around the fact my PS thinks this breast reduction is in proportion to my torso? This cost me £7300 Sterling (UK).
Breasts should be smaller than our torso not to engulf it and hang out in all directions. Clothes are not designed for breasts of this proportion. This is the actual photo the PS took of me at my 6 week review saying how great they are. In fact she said she wondered if she had taken TOO MUCH as I walked down into her room. Am I on a different planet?

6 weeks post op
Saw the PS for my 4 wk follow up and asked if there was any chance these would shrink any more. She told me a little maybe. She was happy with the outcome and said they were beautiful. I asked if they could be made smaller but she said they have been made in proportion to my hips and arm width and repeated told how great they looked. I am grateful my excisions have healed flat an I have so far escaped any real complications. she said given the huge size I was before and because of my weight the operation had it moments and I was lucky to escape without any fat necrosis problems etc. I have mixed feelings on hearing this. I know I had gained weight in past 2 years use to bereavements but you can’t I help but compare yourself to others. Clearly not large or uncomfortable enough for the NHS to help, but more difficult to perform on than most the population.
I commented that I still feel busty and I feel that many people I see are this size before they have a reduction. Basically I came away feeling fat everywhere else. Maybe it’s the reality check I needed. I will loose the 20lbs now. I forgot to ask about scar treatment, but she did say I could wear normal bra’s now.
yesterday I decided to took the plunge and went bra shopping. Feeling very anxious as I’ve never had a good experience EVER shopping in person for a Bra. I went to my nearest bra stockist as it was walkable, exercise is good after all. It was marks and Spencer. I was measured and told I would be a 38 back. What?? How can that be.. i questioned is she sure. Ive happily and comfortably worn 30 or 32 my entire life. Even trying 34 in the past felt too loose causing the band to rise up at the back. She still thought about an F or G. I never been able to wear bra’s from this shop in the past so it could be their cut. Up shot I fitted comfortably into a 36F. Bought one, was hoping to feel amazing and have so much choice, but the bras shown to me in my size that were in stock were plain, boring and not that dissimilar to what I was was wearing before. Need to get back online to Bravissimo I think and look through their selection in the “larger sizes”.
I am confused about rib cage size. Despite continuing to loose a few pound since surgery, I can no longer even do up my any of my previous bras around the rib cage so I’m wondering if I am still swollen around my rib cage? Has any one else found this to be true for them at 6 weeks?
