Hello SX community it’s been a little minute! Well I’m planning on getting a breast reduction in Baltimore which is something I’ve been considering for about 5 years now. I am currently 29 years old I don’t have any children (though I do want some) and I’m getting my 34 DDD breast reduced! Honestly I think my breast are larger than a DDD according to the last time I went to Victoria Secret. I am nervous, anxious and all of the above. After getting a BBL in DR with Dr. Duran (2016) my breast have been getting larger and larger! I’m ready to feel confident again in my own skin. I asked my doctor for a C cup. I am a small person and the C cup will help fit with my body type. These breast give me major back pain and affect my life in many many ways. Anyways I’ll keep you all posted. I have my physical and bloodwork scheduled for this Thursday, hopefully everything clears and I can start on this journey.

Any advice on getting a breast reduction if you haven’t started having kids yet? I don’t know when having babies are in the cards for me but I really want a few! I’m double questioning whether I should I through with my Reduction or not or if I should wait until I have kids...anyone?? Thoughts??

Hi,
I have 3 young kids and waited until after to have my breast reduction (scheduled for June 20). My advice would be to wait. Some women can't or choose not to breastfeed which is fine, but many (like me) feel a very strong urge to breastfeed and feel it is an integral part of forming that bond with their baby. I would've been absolutely gutted if I couldn't have breastfed. I just think that you don't know how you are going to feel when the time comes. So my advice would be to leave your options open. Not to mention, pregnancy does a number on your breasts and its possible that will alter how your breasts look. I'm really happy that now that I'm done having kids, not only do I get a reduction but also a lift (a mommy makeover!)

Exactly all I keep thinking about is well if I get it now then have kids what will happen? I have no children now and I’m not married yet but the thought of being a parent is like a dream come true! I will probably want to breast feed and even if I don’t do it for long I’ll be upset if my boobs get saggy after surgery lol my moms boobs are saggy after her Reduction surgery because she had one more kid! I’m really thinking about canceling and going to the gym and toning my boobs and body. If I got to the gym and lose like 15-20lbs I’ll probably feel better about them for the next 4 years until I decide to pop out these kids

Good question. Breasts are part of body which plays great role in being mom. Mine got bigger, and fuller after 2 children. My body changed, I did ended up permanently heavier for about 10 lb, and looks like most of it went to the boobs:). I did get reduction about 20 years after my second and last child, but wanted to do it for a long time. Happy that medicine can offer pretty safe way to relieve a body of that extra weight now.

Wow good point! Having kids first is so important. I keep thinking about it and I think my best bet will be to wait, go to the gym and see if I can at least tone them in the meantime. I am 29 in a relationship, and I’m hoping for marriage in the next 3 years. Babies must come soon!!

I am 27 married with 1 baby, I've always wanted a breast reduction, I was a 36DDD before my son, now 14 months later I'm a 36G/H even after losing the baby weight. I know I want another child so I'll wait until after to get my reduction. For me breastfeeding was super important to our relationship. That however is different for everyone. I'd be more upset if I had the reduction gave birth and had permanently larger breast again.

Hi yes I see your point but how would you have permanently larger breast after a reduction? I've heard because my haven't had children my breast tissue is every thick and fat and my breast will be fine after kids. I've also heard some women can still breastfeed after a reduction. Either way I'm going to ask for a full B or small C cup just Incase that does happens. But I doubt they would go up to a DDD/E

The hormones produced by the body during pregnancy and postpartum cause your breast to grow to accommodate the milk, they don't always go completely back down to size, couple that with if you want more than one child, your weight gain etc. You can end up with significantly larger breasts after having kids than you ever did before having children

Right well I feel like that's just a risk I'm willing to take. The back pain is excruciating. And i heard the reduction is permanent for SOME. Plus I've always said if worse comes to worse after kids I'll get implants.
August 20, 2019
Of course, I completely understand. I was just telling you my reasoning for waiting. I've lost all of my baby weight and then some and my breast are still larger than before i got pregnant. I'm really wishing you the best and I'm excited to follow your journey. I can't wait until I'm in your shoes, and getting my reductions. The back pain, the posture. I hate it all
